Happy Walmart Deals to all who celebrate! From vacuums that'll keep your floors mega clean to those new headphones you've been eyeing, Walmart (and this list!) has got you covered with up to 50% off toys, decor, appliances, and more. But hurry: The deals end October 11, so be sure to snap 'em up before they're gone!

HGTV

Here are a few of the best deals to get your cart started:

1. SomeApple AirPods 4 for 39% off if your old earbuds have been put through the wringer (or the washer, tbh) and it's time for an upgrade that *won't* make your piggy bank cry. These have up to five hours of listening time on one charge, touch-control panels, a wireless charging case, *and* can automatically switch between your devices. That's pretty coolio (at a coolio price) if you ask me!

Walmart

Promising review: "These AirPods are amazing! The bass on them is very good, very punchy. The mids and highs are very clear. I’ve answered calls and everyone can hear me clearly. Overall sound is above any earbuds I’ve had before. Connectivity is almost instant when removing them from their case. The touch-sensitive buttons on the AirPods are very responsive. The case is smaller than the AirPods Pro. They stay in my ear very well, even while doing activities and exercises. I would highly recommend!" —Eduardo

Price: $79 (originally $129.99)

2. A Euhomy countertop nugget ice maker for 36% off that everyone in your household will enjoy because who *doesn't* love chomping on some lil' baby ice? This one comes with a smart app, too, so you can make sure you have ice ready to go when you get home from virtually anywhere in the world. Oh, and did I mention it is also SELF-CLEANING? Because it is. 

Walmart

Promising review: "Excellent ice maker. I had a little trouble connecting to the app, but other than that, it has worked exactly as advertised." —Katherine

Price: $179.99 (originally $279.99)

3. A Jackery Explorer portable power station for 35% off strong enough to power several appliances, including AC units and fridges. Whether you're camping, glamping, or just trying to make it through the next random power outage (🙋🏻‍♀️), this lil' tough guy has got your back!

Walmart

Promising reviews: "I felt this was a good deal for the panels and battery. Delivered on time. Would buy again." —anonymous

Price: $879(originally $1,349)

4. Anenameled cast-iron Dutch oven for 55% off that you can use for baking, roasting, and simmering. Mine has been subjected to MANY a fall simmer pot recipe, because nothing is cozier than bread baking in the oven and fruity-cinnamony-citrus concoctions brewing on the stovetop.

Walmart

Promising review: "The first meal I made was roasting an entire chicken the first time and it couldn't have been better! The flavor was intense, like I'd been cooking all day (90 mins), due to the lid and even heat distribution and retention. Gorgeous red color, and I'm now looking for a braising pan. Highly recommend and worth every penny!" —Evgenya

Price: $39.89 (originally $88.99)

5. A Nex Playground Active Play System for 20% off, that's ~supposedly~ designed for the small human crowd, but adults also LOVE this thing. If you remember the Xbox Kinect times, THIS IS THE SUPERIOR, CHEAPER, MORE COMPACT VERSION. With games like Fruit Ninja, Whac-A-Mole, and dancing galore, this size-of-your-hand device plugs directly into your TV or projector with an HDMI cable and is ready to go for tons of active inside playtime.

Walmart, Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed

Promising reviews: "My 6- and 8-year-old love this game! The whole family enjoys playing together. Kind of like the Wii and Xbox Kinect, but with a more modern feel. Don't have to worry about online play and other players either, your children — it's a very wholesome, decent game for younger-age kids, so they feel they have something to do, like the older ones who have VR and online play." —Kayla

"Our family loves this game system! All of my kids woke up with sore muscles after playing the mini games. It works you out without you realizing it, using your own body weight while laughing and having fun at the goofy games." —Ambrosia

Price: $239 (originally $299)

6. AMichael Kors small crossbody for up to a whopping 71% off (!!!) if you've been thinking about upgrading your everyday bag and want to do it in the most luxurious *and* affordable way possible. So go ahead: Pick your favorite color! (Or two at that price!)

Walmart

Promising review: "The size is absolutely perfect for a college student for whom it was purchased. It is ideal for wearing to football and basketball games on campus. The compartments are also perfectly sized and suited for safety purposes. Having a strap and handles offers a variety of options for wearing to different events." —Ruthie

Price: $56.70+ (originally $139.30+; available in four styles)

7. A Bose portable Bluetooth speaker for 38% off you'll be *abnormally excited* to have next time you're on the trail, doing yard work, or anywhere else where you would love some playlist jams *without* having to lug around a bulky thingamajig. Big, bold sound in a small package is basically Bose's thing, and they do it ~so well.~

Walmart

Promising review: "The third one of these I have purchased. Superior sound to any other portable speaker I have owned (including more expensive speakers), easy to throw in a bag, and extremely weather-resistant. Battery charge is quick and lasts for hours; Bluetooth is straightforward and allows multiple connections. This is a very fairly-priced product with the classic Bose quality." —anonymous

Price: $99 (originally $159; available in six colors)

8. An automatic bread maker for 55% off  that'll give you the chance to have straight-from-the-oven delicious bread even if you're a total novice. Plus, the best cozy smell is actually the scent of baking bread, so it's a double-cozy win as we come into fall and winter. 

Walmart

Promising review: "I love everything about this bread maker! Originally bought one for my daughter, but decided to buy myself one also! The recipe book adds too many ingredients for some breads, but to be able to have this machine to make my own bread is divine. It kneads the dough for me to make homemade rolls, it makes jams and cakes, pizza dough! It’s everything! Never ever buying store bread again." —Vicki

Price: $89.29 (originally $199.98)

9. A Dyson V8 Cyclone and car cleaning kit for 33% off because anyone with a Dyson will tell you *will* become a necessity in your house and car. Without a cord in your way but with a detachable extender and vacuum head, this gadget can clean anything and everything with a quick once-over. THE DREAM.

Walmart

Price: $299.99 ($449.99)

10. ABeautiful thyme green programmable slow cooker for 24% off that's as pretty as it is nifty. (And twice as versatile, at least!) This baby can do it all: meat, poultry, stew, soup, chile, keep food warm, and it can serve up to seven people. And it's easy to clean. Yes, you need to add it to your cart yesterday. 

Walmart

Promising review: "I love the clean, smooth, white, oval shape of this 6-quart slow cooker. It looks beautiful on my kitchen counter. So far I have cooked a large pot of spaghetti sauce with meat and it turned out great, 4 hours on low. I would recommend this to a friend." —Ramona

Price: $48.82(originally $64.30)

11. And a matching toaster for 20% off in case tonight's dinner menu is "something-something on toast." Some ideas: avocado toast, cottage cheese and tomato toast, or peanut butter and honey on toast.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is the toaster I've always wanted. Attractive and reasonably priced, but most importantly, it makes great toast. It's easy to select the desired darkness, works well on bagels, sliced sandwich bread, and even baguettes. Plus, it has a 2-year warranty. I would definitely buy it again." —Marise

Price: $39.98 (originally $45.97; available in 11 other colors)

12. A Google 40-inch FHD Smart TV for 44% off if your *old* TV isn't the shiniest apple in the barrel and you could use an upgrade so that you can stream your fave shows, search and control with your voice, and enjoy premium picture quality that will have you feel like Florence Pugh is RIGHT in your living room. 

Walmart

Promising review: "The color and clarity are excellent." —anonymous

Price:$176.54 (originally $322.98)

13. And an ultra-wide curved 4K gaming monitor for 46% off because if you're still playing Baldur's Gate 3 on that one garage sale monitor with the cracked corner, you (and Astarion) deserve an upgrade.

Walmart

Promising reviews: "I'm a streamer, and I love this monitor so much and am debating on getting a second one! Love the size, and the curve is perfect! Handles reflections pretty well, and I love that I can adjust the tilt and the height. Works great for multitasking on the same screen and looks amazing with games! It's also very heavy and durable. All in all, great monitor!" —Erica

"It works great in any lighting, I am getting ready to get a second one soon as well." —Robert

Price: $119.95 (originally $219.99)

14. A stainless steel trashcan for up to 46% off that closes ☁️softly☁️ so you don't have to have the jumpscare of metal-on-metal every time you need to toss something in the garbage. Plus, it just looks chic sitting in your kitchen, doesn't it?

Walmart

This trash can has a 13-gallon capacity and fits most standard garbage bags.

Promising review: "Excellent finish! Inner liner has handles for easy removal and changing garbage bags. Liner allows plastic garbage bags to remain hidden when the lid is closed. Well packaged for damage-free delivery." —Randall

Price:$64.99+ (originally $119.90; available in three colors)

15. An automatic litter box for 51% off that does it all: Sifts waste (so no scooping for you!) manages odor control, self-cleans, lets you track the weight and waste levels of your kitties, and lets you know through the app when it's time to change the litter. Yes, it's a magic machine. Yes, the reviews speak for themselves. Say goodbye to THE most stressful part of having a cat in the fam with this Jetson-era robo friend.

Walmart

Promising review: "This self-cleaning litter box is surprisingly spacious and works great for multiple cats. The app is easy to use and sends helpful notifications directly to my phone. Setup was quick, and cleaning is simple thanks to the automatic design. For the price, it offers excellent value." —Sohail

Price: $182.99 (originally $369.99)

16. Some kids wired headphones for 35% off great for keeping the sounds of their tablet in *their* ears, not yours. Bonus points: The plug-in style means these are great for school, too. 

Walmart

Promising review: "Sturdy headphones. My grandson has dropped them, pulled the cord hard several times right out of his iPad, and they held up great." —Tina

Price: $10.91 (originally $16.65)

17. A queen-sized cooling hybrid mattress for 42% off that'll transform your seen-better-days mattress into a ~Princess And The Pea~ palace of dreams. The reviews are full of other royals who have found their perfect mattress match, so what are you waiting for? Superior fall and winter naps await!

Walmart

This mattress is 10 inches thick.

Promising review: "My back was really hurting from my 15-year-old mattress. I did a lot of research and found this mattress to meet all my needs. Within two nights of sleeping on it, my back pain is almost gone. It’s firm and soft at the same time. I am sleeping so well. I am going to buy one for my senior mom too. Highly recommend." —Frances

Price: $169.32 (originally $288.99; available in three other sizes and in 12- and 14-inch thickness)

18. A striped swivel armchair for up to 38% off if you've been holding auditions in your current setup for the perfect reading/rotting/scrolling chair and have come up empty. Set yourself up for autumnal cozy success by having this sent straight to your door for a price that will have you ~spinnin' like a ballerina.~  

Walmart

Promising review: "We unreservedly recommend these swivel chairs for the price! Feel much more expensive than they are. Super comfortable (I'm 5'10" and husband is 6'0). The blue stripe is a slate blue-grey, but definitely blue. Swivel easily. Love them!" —Shawn

Price: $246.98+ (originally $389.99+; available in three colors)

19. A giant axolotl plush (and three babies!) for 41% off because whether the little in your life needs a whole family of cuddly sidekicks *or* you just want some extra snuggle power added to your own setup, this quartet deserves a spot in your next Walmart delivery. 

Walmart

Promising review: "Absolutely delightful. Loved by the receiving child and every adult who saw it. Perfect gift. Would purchase again. 100% satisfied." —Peggy

Price: $29.29 (originally $49.99; available in nine other animals)

20. A cordless leaf blower for 50% off — to quote Mariah Carey, "It's tiiiimmmeeeee" and of course, that means time to clear your yard of all the tree debris. Make it easier on yourself with this no-cord hassle-free gadget that *also* makes excellent leaf piles for jumping if that's more your style. 

Walmart

It comes with two rechargeable batteries, which offer up to 50 minutes total run-time.

Promising review: "I'm soooooo happy with this battery-powered yard blower! It's exactly what I want and need to do my porch and other areas around my house. It's very lightweight and super easy to use/operate!" —Betty

Price: $55.49 (originally $109.99)

21. A splurgy Eufy Omni C20 for 52% off that TRULY does it all: It vacuums, it MOPS, and it auto-cleans itself when it's done. This thing will map your house so you can clean in zones (i.e., not wake the baby when they're napping or interrupt an important Zoom call) and make sure every nook and cranny is clean without you having to lift a finger. 

Walmart

I seriously can't say enough nice things about this machine. Truly, I was looking into hiring a cleaning service because I dislike mopping/sweeping so often, but this makes keeping up with chores SO much more manageable. We call it our robot butler and LOVE the luxury of having it clean the house from the app after we've already left the house. 

Promising review: "This is a great vacuum cleaner. It vacuums up the dirt and can also mop at the same time. It is great for people with back problems because it eliminates the constant bending motion you don't realize you are doing while vacuuming and mopping. It maps your home, and then you can schedule it to do different areas at different times. It has different power modes for the suction to help eliminate noise. It dries the mop heads by spinning around when it returns to the charging station, thus keeping them from developing an odor. It also dumps the dirt into a disposable bag that is similar to the ones used in the old-fashioned vacuums." —laserjohn

Price: $339.99 (originally $699.99; also available in bundles with additional accessories)

22. A Momcozy bottle sterilizer for 38% off that'll happily live on your counter for a long time because it can sanitize EVERYTHING from bottles to pacifiers to teething toys with the press of a button. Bye-bye, annoying stove method, hello getting some time (and brain cells!) back.

Walmart

Promising reviews: "The auto cycle works well. Pushing the on/off button automatically sterilizes and dries the bottles. Very easy to use with a large capacity." —Katrina

"The bottle sterilizer has so many functions, and I use them all. Not only does it do its job of sterilizing, but you can also warm up or thaw breast milk." —Fatima

Price: $79.97+ (originally $129.99+; available in two styles)

23. A Bluetooth label maker for 41% off because everything deserves a cute lil’ name tag... even your charging cables.

Walmart

Price: $19.98 (originally $27.53)

24. A glycolic acid 7% toning solution for 53% off to gently exfoliate and moisturize your skin with a singular one-two punch product you'll be SO glad to have introduced to your skincare routine. (Especially at that price!)

Walmart

Promising review: "So similar to Ordinary. Great price, I've noticed how smooth and bright my skin is. I also use it for my scalp, and I noticed such an improvement. Definitely a must keep." —Floretta

Price: $9.49 (originally $19.99)

25. An easy-to-install bidet attachment for 54% off designed to perfectly fit your toilet so you're not left with a strange gap. (Just a really clean bum!) 

Walmart

Promising review: "This product was very easy to install, and it also has small plastic turntables to help you twist in the nuts. Instructions were very clear, and the product was installed within a few minutes. The water pressure is strong and really helps clean everything. Would recommend this product!" —Yoohong

Price: $19.99 (originally $42.99)

26. A wood pellet grill for up to 53% off if your ideal dinner is smoked meat and grilled veggies, but your ideal aesthetic does ~not~ include a hulking piece of metal chilling permanently in your yard or spending $$$ to have it dashed to your door. This handy-dandy grill/smoker comes with a rolling base so you can take it just about anywhere, including your tiny porch. (And then back to your garage again.) You're welcome. 

Walmart

Promising review: "Arrived in time for husbands bday. Looks exactly as advertised. Easy assembly. Cooks well. Holds temperature. Easy to use. Ribs were falling off the bone. Great smoke taste. Didn't have to constantly watch like you would on a charcoal grill. Pic was right after assembly. didn't bother putting the rack on the bottom." —Nanette

Price: $232.99+ (originally $497.99+; available with or without acover)

27. A kid-friendly beginner 3D printer for 52% off that comes with ready-to-print models so you (and your kiddos) can get straight to making fun trinkets and doodads, all while practicing some STEM skills. 

Walmart

Promising review: "This was such a seamless and ready out-of-the-box experience. The ease of the software package and the machine's assembly showed that the maker had user-friendliness in mind. I was able to print in less than 5 minutes from opening the box! This will be making knickknacks and useful items for quite some time, as it is easy to see that this is a solid unit built to last with quality parts and sturdy connections to structural components. This is now a mature technology and this printer is showing how refined it has become. Kudos!" —Walmart Customer

Price: $179.29+ (originally $369.99+; available in two styles)
