Walmart is smart. While everyone is in shopping mode over Amazon's much-anticipated Prime Day(s), it's not so quietly launched its own sale event that's also filled with unmissable deals.
'The popularity of Amazon Prime Day has forced other retailers to run their own sale events at the same time, explains our e-commerce content director, Lindsey Davis. 'This is great news for the consumer as it means everyone is price matching (or beating) to get the sale, so if something you love is on offer at Amazon, there is likely a counteroffer elsewhere. What's more, Amazon Prime Day is for Prime members, but the other sales generally don't require a membership to participate. This is true of Walmart, who stock many of the same products as Amazon, so you won't miss out if Prime membership is not for you.'
Much like Amazon, however, the Walmart website is vast, and there are a lot of sections and deals to get through. That's where we come in; it's our job to do the heavy lifting and find the best deals worth shouting about.

How do you know if you've got a good deal at Walmart?
Download the Walmart app
When you download the Walmart app, you can use the 'Savings Catcher' function. Scan your receipt or enter your purchase number into the app and you'll be able to see price differences from the same products at other local retailers.
If you find the exact same product listed somewhere for less, then Walmart might issue an eGift Card to make up the difference.
Use price comparison sites
To make sure you are getting the lowest price, we always use price comparison sites to see what the same product is available for elsewhere.
Honey is great for this. It's a browser extension that will instantly show you if the same product is being sold at a lower price on a different site. You can also see price history up to the past 120 days, so you can check whether you're getting a genuinely good deal or if the price has been inflated before the sale hits.
Google Shopping is another useful tool to compare prices across different sites, but be cautious as it only displays prices from affiliated partners. For the most thorough research, you'll have to check different sites yourself.
Sign up for Walmart+
Walmart+, is a membership similar to Amazon Prime that gets you free delivery and exclusive discounts. You get a 30-day free trial and then it's $12.95 per month or $98 per year.
Opt for Walmart Pickup
When you opt for Walmart Pickup, you get to avoid shipping fees, which can make a major difference to the size of your purchase. Use the Walmart store locator to find your nearest outlet.
When is the best time to shop at Walmart?
Walmart Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales
This year, Black Friday falls on November 28 and Cyber Monday is December 1. We'd expect Walmart to start dropping deals from the middle of November and run through the first week of December.
Black Friday is the best time to buy just about anything online, as stores compete to offer the lowest prices on the hottest products.
Walmart Rollbacks
A rollback is a temporary price reduction on a particular product, rolling back the numbers to a previous, lower price. Whether you're looking for Dyson deals or patio furniture deals, you'll find rollbacks on pretty much everything at some point.
Rollbacks pop up randomly and last anywhere from a couple of days to a few weeks to months. It's worth keeping a close eye on the Walmart savings tab to see what's on offer.
Walmart Flash Deals
Every week, Walmart runs Flash Deals, offering up to 65% off household essentials and impulse purchases.
It's all too easy to be taken in by the low prices and end up buying things you don't need and won't use.
One way to make flash deals work for you is to only browse the page when you need to add another item to get free shipping. Think cleaning essentials: Wipes, dish soap, or other home staples to get over the threshold. It's never money wasted.
Walmart offers such a breadth of products and depth of discounts that it can be hard to tell the difference between a good deal and a low price on a poor product. It's worth learning how to shop Walmart like an interiors editor to get the most for your money.
If Amazon is still on your mind, head over to our Amazon Prime Day deals hub where we will be keeping you updated on the sale.
