Prices are falling like the leaves this week at Walmart, with major savings on Apple, Shark, Vizio and more. (Walmart)
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!
This toasty flannel shirt has "shacket" written all over it — and a price tag that's been reduced by nearly 80 percent. As we knew back in the '90s, a flannel shirt is all about warmth, comfort, and versatility. Pass it onto a younger generation this holiday season.
And while you're at it, pick one up for yourself — it comes in 15 colors. A fan called it "the incredibly silky, ideal material for layering continues to look fantastic even after multiple laundering,"
Windy storms are here, and sometimes the resulting fallen branches are a bit too large to be cut down by hand. This chainsaw is lightweight and simple to use, but don't let the demure size fool you. With a 6-inch blade, it has more than enough cutting power to take on most jobs. The handle comes with a rubberized grip that makes it easy to hold, even with just one hand, as well as a lock button so you don't accidentally start things up while carrying it.
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.
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."
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.
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.
While there are many whitening strips on the market, these standbys excel in their ability to take 15 years of even the most stubborn stains off your teeth, whitening your smile an insane 25 times better than a typical whitening toothpaste. Each kit comes with 28 whitening strips — half for your top teeth and the others for bottom teeth — for a total of 14 half-hour treatments.
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.
