So far, we've found some absolutely fantastic anti-Prime Day deals in the Walmart week, covering everything from cheap air fryers to TVs. Some of the best deals include record-low prices on some of our favorite models, so there's plenty to check out.

Walmart Plus Week: today's best deals
Walmart Plus deal: 50% off Walmart Plus annual membership
The Walmart Plus Week sale is kicking off with a rare 50% discount on an annual Walmart Plus membership. That brings the price down from $98 to just $45, which is an incredible deal, and a huge $94 less than an Amazon Prime membership. Walmart Plus perks include free shipping with no order minimum, a free Paramount Plus subscription, plus discounts on gas, and early access to sales.
TCL 65-inch 5-Series 4K UHD QLED TV: was $528 now $398 at Walmart
A big-screen QLED display under $400 is unheard of, which is why the TCL QLED 5-Series is a fantastic steal in Walmart's sale, with the 65-inch model on sale for just $398. The best-selling set delivers a cinema-like picture experience thanks to the Quantum Dot technology, plus voice control and the Roku experience built-in for easy streaming.
Dyson Omni-Glide Cordless Vacuum: was $349.99 now $199.99 at Walmart
The Dyson Omni-Glide was designed for hard floors and is Dyson's slimmest and most maneuverable vacuum and can convert to a hand-held vac with a click of a button. Today's deal from Walmart brings the lightweight Omni-Glide down to just $199.99 - the lowest price we've ever seen and the cheapest cordless Dyson you can buy.
Shark Vertex Cordless Stick Vacuum: was $349 now $199 at Walmart
Shark vacuums are superbly designed, cheaper than models from rival Dyson, and excellent for pesky pet hair and for accessing hard-to-reach spots. This lightweight cordless model is a great choice, and it's now down to a record-low price of $199 in Walmart's Plus Week sale.
Restored Vitamix 5300 Blender: was $359.95 now $249.95 at Walmart
If you don't mind a refurbished product, Walmart has this restored Vitamix 5300 blender on sale for $249.95. This specific model retails for $499.99 if you're buying it brand-new, so today's deal is half off and a great price for a powerful blender from a trusted name.
Lenovo Ideapad 5 14-inch laptop: was $519 now $464 at Walmart
There's perhaps no better solid-mid-range Windows laptop for work and casual use than this Lenovo Ideapad 5 at Walmart. At full price, this one was already decent value thanks to its combination of a speedy Ryzen 7 5700U chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD, but today's discount really makes it a fantastic buy. Not only do you have plenty of storage with this machine but the powerful processor will see you speeding through most tasks.
Xbox Series S (512GB): was $329.99 now $289.99 at Walmart
The Xbox Series S is a superb gateway into the wonderful world of next-gen Xbox gaming - especially at this price. A couple of drawbacks to the Xbox Series X include its lack of an optical drive (it's digital only) and that it runs games at 1440p primarily. It is, however, much smaller and cheaper than the Series X and plenty powerful enough for most gamers.
LG C2 55-inch UHD OLED 4K smart TV: was $1,499 now $1,196.99 at Walmart
One of the most popular sales at any retailer this week, the stunning LG C2 is currently down to its lowest-ever price on the mid-sized 55-inch variant. No surprises here - we're huge fans of the LG C2 at TechRadar, consistently ranking it as the best TV money can buy. There are more premium options out there but our LG C2 review loved its superb picture quality, array of next-gen gaming features, and gorgeous design. Pound for pound, we think it's one of the best value options out there right now for those who want a high-end TV.
Acer Nitro 5 15.6-inch gaming laptop: was $999.99 now $879.99 at Walmart
The Walmart Plus week sale features one of the best gaming laptop deals we've seen yet on a machine with a new RTX 4050 graphics card. This Acer Nitro 5 not only has a great price for a machine with this speedy GPU, but a combination of an Intel Core i5-12500H chipset, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD means it's got plenty of other great components too.
PlayStation 5 console & God of War bundle: was $699 now $549.99 at Walmart
Here's another superb gaming console deal in the Walmart Plus week sale, featuring a PS5 and one of its best games yet. While God of War Ragnarok is a little older now, it's definitely a golden oldie and a great introduction to the platform. Just a year ago a price cut like this would have been unimaginable so it's a great deal in context if you haven't snagged a PS5 yet.
Instant Vortex 10QT air fryer: was $129 now $79.95 at Walmart
We haven't personally reviewed this model, but we're big fans of other Instant Vortex air fryers here at TechRadar - and this is a great price for a bigger model. As displayed in the image, this 10QT air fryer is even big enough to rotisserie a chicken - as well as bake an 8-inch pizza and lbs of fries. For $79, we think there's a ton of value with this particular model.
Keurig K-Mini single-serve pod coffee machine: was $109 now $79 at Walmart
This Keurig K-Mini coffee maker is always a popular choice over major sales events and Walmart and it's easy to see why. Not only is it cheap but its small size means it's an easy fit for even the most cramped of kitchens. Although it's not the most advanced machine, you'll have no issues getting a great cup of coffee out of this thing.
TCL 65-inch 5-Series 4K UHD QLED TV: was $528 now $398 at Walmart
A big-screen QLED display under $400 is unheard of, which is why the TCL QLED 5-Series is a fantastic steal in Walmart's sale, with the 65-inch model on sale for just $398. The best-selling set delivers a cinema-like picture experience thanks to the Quantum Dot technology, plus voice control and the Roku experience built-in for easy streaming.
VIZIO 75-inch M6 Series 4K QLED HDR Smart TV: was $898 now $698 at Walmart
This is a deal that will go fast – the massive 75-inch Vizio QLED TV is on sale for a record-low price of $698. The M6 Series delivers a fantastic picture with brilliant colors thanks to the Quantum Color display and Dolby Vision Bright mode. You're also getting DTS Virtual:X, smart capabilities, and a handy voice remote.
Apple Watch SE (2020, 40mm): was $279 now $149 at Walmart
The Apple Watch SE deal is one that Walmart loves to trot out over most sales events, so it's no surprise that it's back again for the Walmart Plus Week. We've actually seen this model go for as low as $139 before at the retailer but it's still a fantastic buy at this price. Sure, the 1st gen Apple Watch SE is a little longer in the tooth now but it's still a fantastic wearable with a premium design and enough power for all those basic lifestyle and fitness applications.
Apple iPad 10.2 (9th gen): was $329 now $279 at Walmart
The 2021 Apple iPad has been $30 cheaper in the past but it's still a pretty great buy at this price in the Walmart Plus sale. Our Apple iPad 10.2 review loved this model, even though it's not the most powerful or premium in the range. It is, however, great value and plenty powerful enough for all those basic tasks and applications.
Weber Traveler Portable Propane Gas Grill: was $418.80, now $340 at Walmart
You can use this propane gas grill in the comfort of your own backyard or take it with you on your next camping trip. With a 320 sq. in. cooking surface and low-to-high-temp range, you can make a broad assortment of flame-cooked meals for your friends and family. Get it right now at a nearly $80 price drop.
Walmart Plus Week: FAQs
How long does the Walmart Plus week sale last?
Walmart Plus members will be able to shop Walmart Plus Week deals starting July 10 at noon ET. For everyone else, it'll starts at noon ET on July 11. This will overlap with Amazon's official Prime Day event (July 11-12), but Walmart's Prime Day event will end a day later on Thursday, July 13 at 7 pm ET.
Do you need Walmart Plus for these deals?
Walmart Plus Week will be open to all shoppers but if you care about getting first dibs, a Walmart Plus membership will grant you access to deals 24 hours earlier than the general public.
If you want to get involved, there are two ways to sign up for Walmart Plus. The first is to check out the 30-free trial, which is completely free and get you that early access without having to commit. Here's a quick overview.
30-day free trial to Walmart Plus
For anyone who regularly shops at Walmart, signing up for Walmart+ could be a no-brainer. And luckily, there's a 30-day free trial available for everyone, so you can try out the service and evaluate whether you want to pay for a membership totally risk-free.
The second way to get Walmart Plus is to take advantage of the retailer's limited-time-only 50% off deal on memberships, which is a special Plus Week tie-in for this year. Here's the details:
Walmart Plus deal: 50% off Walmart Plus annual membership

Will Walmart Plus Week be better than Prime Day?
That depends on what you're shopping for. We're anticipating solid tech deals from both Amazon Prime Day and Walmart Plus Week – but Amazon will largely be showcasing its own-brand devices while Walmart will be discounting TVs, headphones, computers, and other tech items from other major brand names. Don't forget that the Best Buy Black Friday July event will be running concurrently so you'll want to peek over there to see what those tech deals are like, too.
However, Walmart is poised to have the upper hand over Amazon when it comes to deals on soft goods. If you're itching to spruce up your home, Walmart Plus Week will be your go-to source for discounts on indoor and outdoor furniture, small appliances, bedding, and other goods. And although it seems like the final bell just rang, we're anticipating plenty of back-to-school deals on apparel, backpacks, and dorm essentials, as well.
We'll be updating this hub with all of the best Walmart Plus Week deals as soon as they go live so bookmark this page if you don't want to miss out on the savings.
