You've probably noticed that your neighborhood stores are robustly flogging their back-to-school wares. Sure, of course, understandable, no biggie, right? But have you noticed that some retailers are already hawking Halloween merch? Talk about spooky! We mention this simply to point out that time is speeding by. It's already August, so let the best Walmart deals to shop this weekend be your way of leaving no remaining summer diem un-carpe-d.
The above being said, sometimes the way to make the most of a day is by doing the least, so don't forget to get your lazing sunny afternoons in with this pair of zero-gravity chaises, just $73 (down from $139). And oh yeah: Those refreshing smoothies aren't going to mix themselves; this Hamilton Beach blender will quench your thirst for savings — it's half off. Come evening, why not zhush things up with this chic Michael Kors crossbody? Walmart's $228 markdown almost qualifies as grand larceny.
In the time it took you to read the preceding paragraph, you could already have added a couple of those (or the following) gobsmackingly discounted items to your cart. Tick-tock, people. Or, to put it in aptly terrifying terms: Labor Day's just four weeks away.
Top Walmart deals this weekend
Best Walmart weekend deals: Cooling
This summer's temps seem to have started off high and don't show any signs of stopping — are you resigned to sweltering? If not, we suggest grabbing this waaaay-marked-down tower fan. Its 90-degree oscillation keeps everyone cool while its quiet air-duct design minimizes crankiness.
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."
This summer seems to be one of heat wave after heat wave. Having a powerful air-conditioning unit can be the difference between tolerating this season and actually enjoying it — and that's where this AC comes in. It has seven temperature settings, easy-to-use dial controls and 5,000 BTUs of power, perfect for fully cooling small and mid-size rooms.
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 more than 9,600 five-star reviews!) is our pick 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, snagging one for less than $20, you're certain to save a room-cooling bundle compared to the costs of central air.
Best Walmart weekend deals: Summer essentials
Don't love feeling like a greased-up frying pan after you put on sunscreen? A lightweight, quick-drying formula like this one from Neutrogena is for you. It won't clog pores and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so go ahead and splash away.
This tough little juice box is just what you need to keep your devices charged when power outlets aren't readily available — whether you're out relaxing on the beach or becoming one with the wilderness. It has two USB ports, so you can power up multiple items at once.
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.
Hit the beach or the backyard in style for the rest of the sunny season with a couple of carcass-caressing chaises, your ticket to optimal comfort no matter where you go. Zero gravity chairs are designed to alleviate pressure on the body, including your back and joints — so kicking back in these will be an absolute pleasure.
Best Walmart weekend deals: Style
Save a small fortune on this stylish stunner, which features authentic Saffiano leather construction and a front chain accent. The adjustable crossbody strap lets you customize the length for comfort, and you also get the security of zip-top closure and a front zip pocket, as well as an open back pocket and two inside pockets.
Featuring ruffly sleeves, a high waist and a tiered skirt, this flowy frock is ideal for a wide variety of body types and a great addition to your rest-of-summer wardrobe. Layer it with a jean jacket and cute slip-ons indoors, then wear solo with sandals and a floppy hat on the boardwalk.
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.
You're sure to look fantas-tic in the square-neck cut and flowy silhouette of this tank. It's sooo flattering for a wide variety of body types, and we love the variety of colors, too — choose from black, blue, green, patterns and pastels in sizes S-3XL.
Best Walmart weekend deals: Home
Dread having to lug around an obscenely heavy vacuum up and down the stairs? With this lightweight Dyson V8 Absolute stick vac, you don't have to. It's super sleek and even transforms to a handheld with just the push of a button. It also has a conical brush bar, which prevents hair from getting tangled around it (so you can clean pet beds and upholstery without fear of jamming). And best of all, it's cordless! "I absolutely love this Dyson!" raved a five-star fan. "We are a pet-friendly home and this collects all the dog hair and dandruff."
A good mop is hard to find — thankfully, we took care of the legwork (and dirty work) for you. "I loved how the mop goes through a slot in the clean-water chamber to capture excess moisture," shared a Yahoo staff member. "The rectangular mop head also easily gets into corners that are otherwise hard to reach. Because the Joymoop doesn't get sopping wet, you don't need as many passes to clean up messes, and it doesn't take long for floors to air out afterward."
A little less Leatherface and a little more Polly Pocket, this compact cutie packs quite a punch. It's battery-powered, so you can take it to the farthest reaches of your backyard, and it can slay wayward branches and spindly overgrown trees with ease.
If you want to feel like you're sleeping on bedding worthy of a luxe hotel, this four-piece sheet set will certainly get the job done. More than 15,000 shoppers have fallen in love with its double-brushed softness, and in addition to feeling cool and breathable (so long, night sweats!), these sheets are pill- and snag-resistant. Another plus? The deep-pocket design fits mattresses up to 16 inches high, so you won't have to worry about the corners flying off in the middle of the night.
Best Walmart weekend deals: Tech
If you're using only your TV's built-in speakers for your audio, you're probably missing part of the story. A soundbar like this inexpensive option from TopVision will help fill in the audio gaps, giving you richer, fuller and clearer sound for a louder, more immersive listening experience than through just your TV speakers alone.
A 75-inch smart TV for under $400? Yep, it's real, and it's spectacular. This offering from Onn has 4K ultra high definition and easy access to your favorite movies, shows, apps and more thanks to the built-in Roku interface. It even works with a variety of smart home setups, like Apple Home, Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
With 4GB of RAM, 64GB of onboard storage and a free one-year subscription to Office 365, this laptop is ideal for everyday use. And a 14-inch screen, a slim profile and a weight of only a few pounds make it ideal for stuffing into a backpack or shoulder bag, for work on the go.
Sometimes buying earbuds can feel like a pick-two game: having to choose among sound quality, comfort and price. We've found a pair that delivers all three for a very affordable $20, discounted from $80. Water-resistant and TV-ready, these Veatool earbuds can be used for nearly anything — from working out at the gym to watching a real tearjerker at home. You can get up to 60 hours of playback between the buds and the case; plus, they're available in black, white, purple, pink and blue.
Best Walmart weekend deals: Kitchen
Whether you're mixing up a smoothie, blending a slushy or whipping up a refresher when it's finally 5 o'clock somewhere, you'll do it with ease with this powerful little number. The 40-ounce glass jar is ideal for whipping up a slew of refreshing beverages — you'll be the star of any cookout when you bring out a pitcher of summery sips.
Our reviewer wrote of the viral-favorite super-scrubber, "It's conveniently water-resistant, with a small brush head that is designed to fit into tight corners and small spaces — think grout lines, faucets, window edges, tire crevices. ... Now that I've seen the wonders the Rubbermaid Reveal can work on stained grout, I'll be using it for pretty much any cleaning chore involving scrubbing."
A good set of mixing bowls is essential for any kitchen — especially for entertaining during the summertime. This stainless steel set — available in black, dark blue, red and multicolor — comes with six different-size bowls (and covers) for mixing, baking, cooking and serving. They can also be nested for easy storage.
With seven magical frozen treat modes, along with two-pint containers and lids, this appliance was already a good deal at full price, especially compared to how much a person — and especially a family — can spend on smoothie runs and specialty ice creams. But now, at $30 off, there's no reason not to grab one for the rest of the summer!
