Chill out with cooling faves, upgrade your summer style and so much more with Walmart's weekend deals. (Getty)(Getty)
Hoo-boy, was this a heckuva weekend in history! Back in 1267, the Inquisition began under Pope Clement IV. (Iberian fans of state-sanctioned torture would have to wait until 1478 for the Spanish Inquisition, which nobody expected.); in 1775 the U.S. Post Office was established; and in 1996, the Spice Girls' debut single, "Wannabe," hit #1 in the U.K. What does all that have to do with you shopping the best Walmart deals this weekend? Oh, I dunno! Look, it's boiling hot out, I'm sweaty and I'm cranky. The important thing is you can save a bunch of money. Go! Shop!
Speaking of schvitzing, how'd you like to save $220 on a head-to-toe-chilling tower fan (that's a nearly 80% markdown!) How 'bout some refreshing custom-made concoctions to slake your dog-day thirst? This Ninja drink system's a cool $50 off. It's not too late to get properly geared up for an afternoon on the sand — start with this hold-all mesh beach bag, now discounted by half.
We're almost as excited as the people of New York City were on July 27, 1909, when Orville Wright set a world record for staying aloft in an airplane. Man, that was really, er, um ... ugh, I dunno! Listen, I need a nap! See you on Monday.

Hoops are a style staple, not least because they look beautiful dressed up or down. These C&C earrings take that look to the next level, with 18K white gold plating, tastefully crusted with dazzling Swarovski crystals. Another plus: They're hypoallergenic and contain no lead or nickel, so they won't cause probs for even the most sensitive skin.

"Best floor fan I've ever owned," said one Walmart shopper. "I love everything about this fan, from the quiet operation to multiple modes, including the night mode (to turn off lights)."
The first major heat wave of the summer was a doozy, and unfortunately, there are probably many more where that came from. Having a powerful A/C unit can be the difference between tolerating this season and actually enjoying it — and that's where this comes in. It has seven temperature settings, easy-to-use dial controls and 5,000 BTUs of power, perfect for fully cooling small and midsize rooms.
"Our bedroom unit went out after seven years of us living here and who knows how many before that. I am so happy that I bought this and you can't beat the price either," a reviewer wrote.

There's nothing like a classic, especially when it comes to denim. These Levi's jeans are true originals, with the brand's easy-fitting, super-soft denim giving comfort and confidence in spades.
We're big fans of this neck cooler here at Yahoo Life — in fact, I'm a user myself. In my review of this little wonder, I shared, "This bladeless fan rests on your neck the way that a pair of headphones might — though, instead of blasting beats, it blows a light and refreshing breeze. Wrap-around vents blow 360° of cool air directly upwards onto the skin of the neck, jaw and face and three settings take you from soft romantic breeze to veritable wind tunnel. ... It saved me from overheating during long days at Disney; being able to clock the number of miles I did in a 100° heatwave makes it worth ten times its weight in gold."
Speaking of cooling small areas, there are few things that work quite as well as a table fan, and this super-highly-rated fave from Honeywell (with nearly 9,500 five-star reviews!) is our suggested go-to for a compact breezer. It's aerodynamic design allows for maximum air circulation and it has three speed settings, so you don't always have to be in "turbo" mode. Plus, at under $20, you're certain to save a room-cooling bundle compared to the costs of central air.

Float on, float on... This simple yet ingenious water hammock consists of two floats connected by soft mesh. You can sit on it and have two armrests, or you can kick back and use the floats as head and footrests. Either way, you'll be immersed enough to stay nice and cool, and you'll have a lot more support (not to mention dignity) than you will balanced across a few noodles.
Linen is the summer fabric when it comes to keeping cool and looking cool, and these wide-leg beauties will definitely help you do both. Light, flowy pants are super on-trend right now, and you can capture that "rich mom grabbing a smoothie in the Hamptons" vibe without spending an arm and a leg — in fact, you'll be spending about what one of those fancy smoothies would cost, at just $15. For that price, you should grab a few colors; choose from 15 shades.
I love fun in the sun as much as the next gal, but summer's also primo binge-watching time! If you're looking to upgrade your indoors entertainment game, might we suggest this FHD smart TV from Hisense?

Plus, it's equipped with an ergonomic handle and slick ProGlide interior coating that'll help your culinary creations slip right out and onto your plate.

Beach days are the best, but not so great? The leftovers — namely, the sand that seems to just get everywhere once your day on the dunes is done.

They're also lightweight, travel-friendly, and usable as picnic blankets, throws, yoga towels and more.

What sets this apart from a manual model like the SodaStream? It's electrically powered — just choose your preferred settings and let 'er rip. This machine also lets you customize the amount of bubbles in your drink (if you want any at all), as well as the flavor. Simply add water to the canister, select the size of your cup and you'll be on your way (there are four options to choose from). If you're used to buying single-use water and soda bottles on the regular, you'll cut way down on plastic after switching to this, which is better for your wallet and the planet. That's what we call a win-win!
