Walmart – the one-stop shop for almost everything – launches sales and exciting deals multiple times throughout the year. In fact, you can head over to the Walmart savings page to see what's on offer at any given moment.
But to make sure you know where to look and are finding the lowest prices, our team of shopping editors has provided some tips to navigate the massive retailer. I've been covering sale events for four years and have picked up a thing or two about deal hunting.
We've also included handy links to each of the department sales that are live right now, and a selection of home products we always look for discounts on at Walmart. Whether you're looking for the best Ninja air fryers or the best Keurig coffee makers, this is how to save big.

12 Walmart products that our editors love
The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is a lightweight but powerful cordless vacuum, with the most advanced features Dyson has ever produced. Its green laser reveals dust that you can't normally see, and its suction is so strong that you rarely have to go over the same area twice.

We've spent countless hours testing the best Ninja air fryers and couldn't recommend them more for quick, easy and delicious food. The Foodi 5-in-1 works as a grill as well as an air fryer, and can produce the classic chargrilled marks you're looking for.
Whether folding, kneading, mixing, shredding, or beating, this is one of the best KitchenAid stand mixers to elevate your baking. We've compared KitchenAid vs Cuisinart stand mixers from our tests – and learned that you can't beat the iconic KitchenAid.
On a hot summer's day, you can't beat a delicious cup of homemade juice. This professional-grade juicer from Ninja is one of the most refreshing purchases you can make in the sales, and one that will no-doubt be used time and time again, all year.
We've previously written about Drew Barrymore's anti-trend chairs, simultaneously striking and understated and perfectly fitting for any living room design. From charcoal to rose pink, you'd expect this plush seat to cost twice as much.
If your living room has been waiting for that final touch, VUNATE's collection of area rugs are often available at almost half price. You can choose from 11 different patterns and 21 different sizes, from 2 x 3 inches all the way up to 10 x 14 inches.
When the sales come around, this four-piece conversation set could shape up to be one of the best patio furniture deals out there, and will transform your yard into a dreamy and well-equipped setting for hosting.
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 I'm getting the lowest price, I 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+
Right now, Walmart is running a deal where you can get 50% off Walmart+, a membership similar to Amazon Prime that gets you free delivery and exclusive discounts.
With this limited-time deal, an annual membership costs just $49 – a stark contrast from the $139 it costs for an annual Prime membership.
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. I'd except 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. I'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.
