Walmart's counter sale, simply named Walmart Deals, kicked off today on July 8, and will be live until July 13 to balance the shopping scales against Amazon Prime's four-day sale.
In fact, Walmart's event will give you two extra days of deals compared to its competitor, and you don't need a costly monthly membership to enjoy Walmart's myriad of great offers.
As a shopping editor, I turn to Walmart to not only pick up household essentials affordably but also to score deep discounts on appliances and furniture sets from big-name brands, including the best Ninja air fryers and the best Keurig coffee makers.
Here, our team of shopping editors and I have picked out our six favorite deals to shop today, with tips on finding the absolute best Walmart deals.

6 Walmart Deal 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 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 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.
Summer's here, the sun's out, and Walmart's huge sale has come at the perfect time to upgrade your outdoor space. This four-piece conversation set is one of the best patio furniture deals I've seen so far this year, 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.
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.
