Nearly every month at Good Housekeeping, our shopping experts create a curated list of the best Walmart deals worth adding to your cart, including some trusted products tested in the esteemed Good Housekeeping Institute.
Black Friday may have come and gone, but Walmart's holiday deals are here to stay (that is, until January). The mega-retailer is one of our favorite places to look for markdowns when traditional sale events have ended. In December, our team of seasoned shopping experts went searching for Walmart discounts in nearly every category from home and kitchen to beauty and fashion — and we weren't disappointed.
With the holidays approaching quickly, giftable items are at the top of our minds. Thanks to Walmart's December deals, you can save up to 76% on presents from coveted brands like Dyson, Bose and Beautiful by Drew Barrymore. That includes top-tested items from the GH Institute, including $200 off one of our favorite soundbars and nearly 40% off our best value hair dryer brush. Bonus: these deals start at just $5.
