Walmart's first Holiday Deals Event starts tomorrow — but the best early deals are already here to shop
Autumn is here and the retailer is handing out discounts like candy, including Walmart deals like an Apple iPad for just $224.
Don't let anyone try to sell you that "gloomy fall" balderdash — October rules! Aside from the beauteous foliage, clear, cool evenings and crisp sunny days, it's jam-packed with fun stuff. This past week alone saw Octoberfest (Prost!) and Rosh Hashanah (Shana tovah, bubeleh!). It's also the only month of the year during which MLB, the NFL, the NBA and the NHL are all in action. And, of course, it culminates in the thrills and chills of Halloween.
October's so much fun, especially here at the outset, that you might find yourself neglecting your shopping surveillance. No worries; we're on the case, and, well, you'll want to put down the pumpkin spice latte for a minute and check out Walmart's cornucopia of slamming sales this week. Get seasonal and stylish in one fell (fall?) swoop with a plaid flannel shacket for as low as $24, snag a Windows 11 laptop from HP at just $138, suck up a Shark upright vac for less than half price ($97!) and, well, an allergy-fighting air purifier for 65% off is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
Oh, and the deals don't end here — far from it. Walmart's own anti-Amazon October Prime Day sale, the Walmart Holiday Deals Event, begins tomorrow, Oct. 8 and runs through Oct. 13. We expect it to be a great time to start stocking up on holiday gifts and entertaining essentials, so don't forget to throw it on the calendar!
Walmart Holiday Deals: Fall refresh
The Navigator is lightweight, so you can take it with you from room to room without it feeling like a workout session. A lift-away detachable pod allows you to easily get into those hard-to-reach spaces. With a price this low, you might want to think ahead and grab one for a holiday gift, too.
"We have four dogs and three cats in our home, so it can be a challenge to keep up with the shedding," shared one reviewer. "We recently tried the Shark Navigator XL vacuum and I'm very impressed. This thing sucked up all kinds of dirt and hair my other vacuum left behind! The filter also seems to work better on this vacuum, as I find myself not needing to dust as much."
Walmart Holiday Deals: Kitchen
This 13-piece set of nonstick cookware is made from smooth granite, ensuring that its nonstick surface is PFOA-free and safe for the whole family. The set includes 9.5-inch and 11-inch frying pans, a 1.5-quart saucepan with lid, a 3-quart saucepan with lid, a 4.5-quart casserole pot with lid and a 11-inch sauté pan with lid, plus a free silicone utensil set — all for more than 70% off the regular price.
Walmart Holiday Deals: Travel
This lightweight hard-shell luggage set is everything you need to stay organized while getting away. Each case — a 20", a 24" and a 28" — has four-way spinner wheels and an adjustable handle for easy maneuvering, plus TSA-approved locks for added security.
Walmart Holiday Deals: Fall fashion
This button-down shacket is the perfect addition to any autumnal wardrobe, with a slightly oversized "boyfriend" fit, ideal for layering on warm days and chillier nights. Plus, it comes in nine different shades — all $25 or under.
Walmart Holiday Deals: Patio and garden
A little less Leatherface and a little more Polly Pocket, this compact cutie packs quite a punch. It's battery-powered, so you can take it to the farthest reaches of your backyard, and it can slay wayward branches and spindly overgrown trees with ease.
Walmart Holiday Deals: Home
Allergy season seems to be year-round nowadays, and having an air purifier around can help mitigate the sniffles and itchy eyes. Make sure you keep your indoor air irritant-free with a quality purifier like this small-but-mighty favorite from Renpho. It'll suck out allergens like pollen and dust from the air, as well as filter kitchen cooking fumes, smoke smells and more.
Walmart Holiday Deals: Beauty
In the world of hair dryers, the Dyson Supersonic is considered the gold standard, but it comes with a $430 price tag. This alternative is just a fraction of the price but still helps you get a sleek, salon-worthy blowout. It has ionic technology to reduce frizz and ramp up the shine as hair dries, giving you a smooth look, fast. It also pumps out 1,800 watts of power to help you get your preferred level of whoosh.
Walmart Holiday Deals: Auto
The proper tire pressure is essential for on-the-road safety, whether you're driving or biking. This pumper-upper ensures you'll always be riding smart, with four pre-set modes (car, bicycle, motorcycle and sporting equipment) to inflate to the correct capacity. There's even an automatic shut-off sensor, so you never have to worry about anything going pop.
Walmart Holiday Deals: Tech and electronics
Ready to do some Apple picking? You don't even have to drive to the orchard — just head over to Walmart and grab this baby while it's on sale for the super-low price of $224 (down from $329). The 2021 9th Gen iPad boasts a 10.2" Retina display, front and back cameras and up to 10 hours of battery life. If you've been meaning to upgrade from your rusty ol' tablet, it would be wise to act quickly.
