Walmart is battling Amazon for the best deals this Prime Day

Walmart is battling Amazon for the best deals this Prime Day

Here are the best sales to shop during Walmart’s Deals for Days event as of June 20:

---

Oh, you thought Walmart was just going to sit there and twiddle its thumbs while one of its biggest rivals ran a massive two-day sale with over two million deals? Think again.

As Amazon revs up for its sixth annual Prime Day event on June 21 and 22, the big box store kicked off its own “Deals for Days” shopping extravaganza on Sunday, June 20, with “Black Friday-like savings” up for grabs online and in stores now through Wednesday, June 23. (For those of you keeping up at home, that makes it twice as long as Prime Day.)

The best part is that Walmart isn’t hiding Deals for Days behind any sort of subscription — unlike Amazon, which has pages of markdowns that are exclusive to its Prime members — nor will it make you pay for two-day shipping on any order over $35. Certain ZIP codes even qualify for free next-day delivery on $35-plus orders of eligible items. (Click here to see if it’s available in your area.)

But enough chit-chat — let’s get this shopping party started. Keep scrolling for a list of the absolute best deals Walmart’s running right now, including an all-time-high discount on an ultra-portable iPad and $10 off the latest 4K Roku. We’ll be updating it as Deals for Days progresses and more markdowns roll in, so go ahead and bookmark this page for future reference.

This highly rated 1080p display from 2019 comes equipped with a built-in Roku TV platform for easy access to over 5,000 channels and 500,000 movies and TV episodes. Top that off with Motion Rate image processing to keep things smooth and stutter-free and a Game Mode that reduces input lag, and you’ve got a terrific budget pick for streaming and gaming alike.

Typically $228, Walmart’s marked it down to just $178 during Deals for Days — that’s a can’t-miss savings of $50, or just over 20%.

Speaking of: If you’re planning on upgrading your TV at some point this week, make sure to also grab the all-new Roku Express 4K+ — with fast wireless performance, effortless setup, hands-free control (with the included Voice Remote), and access to a bunch of free entertainment via The Roku Channel, it makes streaming in 4K HDR simpler than ever.

The Express 4K+ is already pretty cheap at its $39 MSRP, but right now you can get it at Walmart for a mere $29. (At 25% off, that’s an exact match of Amazon’s early Prime Day disocunt.)

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Get your kid a Chromebook. Samsung’s ultra-lightweight Chromebook 4, a 13.3-inch laptop from 2020, is pretty much bombproof thanks to some military-grade durability and built-in virus protection — plus, a battery life of up to 12.5 hours per charge means Little Timmy or Susie can go all day without needing to plug it in. This particular configuration comes with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard memory, which is plenty for their purposes.

Get it on sale at Walmart for just $159, or 20% off its usual retail price of $199.

With Apple Pencil support, a 10-hour battery life, stereo speakers, a pretty Retina display, and an A12 Bionic chip — the same chip that powers 2018’s iPhone XR, 2020’s iPad, and this year’s Apple TV 4K — the 7.9-inch iPad mini from 2019 is still the best small tablet your money can buy. 

Walmart has the 64GB variant with just WiFi (no cellular connectivity) on sale for only $329, which is 18% off its $399 MSRP and an all-time-low price it’s never hit on Amazon before — not even on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

It’s one of several Switch titles that Walmart now has on sale for $39.99, or 33% off. (Amazon, meanwhile, had Link’s Awakening priced at $49.94 at the time of writing.)

These bad boys were almost completely sold out on Amazon the last time we checked, but Walmart still has them in stock and on sale. Grab a pair for just $149 (that’s half off their $299.95 MSRP) in your choice of six different colors: Black, Dark Blue, Gray, Ivory, Light Blue, or Red.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Active2 from 2019 hits that sweet spot between form and function with a sharp, stylish design and tons of useful health-tracking features (including sleep and heart rate monitoring). Better yet, it can last up to five days (!) on a single charge — Apple Watch whomst? 

It’s normally listed at $249.99 on Samsung.com, but you’ll find the 40mm version on sale at Walmart for just $199.99 during Deals for Days — that’s a 20% savings.

Howdy, Google. The second-gen Nest Mini from 2019 is a rebranded version of the original Home Mini that’s got double the bass of its predecessor on top of adaptive sound, a helpful built-in Google Assistant, and a machine learning chip that helps it process commands lightning-fast. (It’s also small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, which makes it easy to hide in plain sight.)

Walmart’s brought back its Black Friday discount for Deals for Days, which means you can score one on sale right now for just $29 — that’s 41% off its $49 MSRP.

Great for carpets, rugs, and hard floors alike, the top-rated eufy RoboVac G30 Verge is a self-charging robot vacuum with smart assistant support, Home Mapping technology, and a whopping 2000Pa of suction strength — that’s an impressive amount of power for a mid-range model. (For comparison’s sake, the $650 iRobot Roomba i7+ — another smart robot vacuum that can empty itself — maxes out at 1800Pa.) It’s also compatible with Anker’s Boundary Strips, which can be placed on your floors to block off certain areas from its cleaning path — Walmart throws in a whole roll for good measure.

Typically $299, Walmart’s put it on sale for just $169 — a massive savings.

Grab one during Deals for Days and you’ll pay just $59 — that’s 40% off its $99 MSRP and only $10 away from its all-time-low Black Friday price. (Don’t bother looking for it on Amazon, by the way — both colors are sold out there.)
