Walmart's best anti-Prime Day deals today

Walmart is pulling out all stops, offering slashed prices on top-selling products to compete with Amazon Prime Day 2024. Below are the hottest savings you can score today. 


Walmart+ is on sale: Subscribe for half price

If you're not a Walmart+ subscriber yet, today is the best time to join. That's because Walmart is offering Walmart+ memberships for half price this week. You can get your first year of Walmart+ for just $49. (Walmart+ is regularly $98 per year.) That's a lot cheaper than a $139 per year Amazon Prime membership.

Not only do Walmart+ members get early access to Walmart sale events, members get free delivery from their local Walmart store, returns picked up from home, member savings on fuel and a complimentary subscription to the Paramount+ streaming service, which gives subscribers access to all NFL games airing on CBS next season.

Tap the button below to get in on this Walmart+ deal while it lasts.

Note: CBS Essentials and Paramount+ are both subsidiaries of Paramount.

Get ready for the 2024 NFL season with a great deal on a top-notch TV. TCL's Q Class TV offers premium picture quality featuring QLED Quantum Dot technology and HDR Pro+ with Dolby vision, ensuring a high-quality picture with enhanced contrast, colors and details. 

This budget TV's high-brightness direct LED backlight delivers brighter images, while TV's auto game mode optimizes the picture for responsive gameplay without lag. A standout TV for movie lovers, sports fans and gamers alike, this TV is a great pick for the price. 

You can get this TV for $398, reduced from $700.


Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): $69 (save $11) 

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation)
Apple

Though not the newest model, the second-generation Apple AirPods are still a popular choice when it comes to earbuds. Keep in mind, these are not the Pro model, but they're still worth grabbing – especially at what appears to be the lowest price we've seen on them to date. 

For Apple users, these are the most seamless earbuds around. They connect effortlessly whenever you need them. While they work with any Bluetooth device that generates audio, they function at their best when they're paired with an Apple device, such as an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, iMac or MacBook.

With a wireless charging case providing more than 24 hours of battery life, one-tap setup for Apple devices, and a low-latency wireless connection for immersive entertainment, it's easy to see why these earbuds are a hit and continue to sell out. 

If you want an affordable option with broad appeal, this version of the AirPods make an excellent everyday wireless earbud option.


Apple AirPods Pro 2: $169 (save $115)

Apple

Here's another must-see Apple AirPods deal for you to shop today: Apple AirPods Pro 2 earbuds are now just $169. That's the lowest price we've seen for these top-rated headphones, ever. (Amazon has these AirPods for the same price, if you'd prefer to shop there.)

The latest Apple AirPods Pro 2 earbuds offer 30 hours of listening time with the included USB-C charging case. They have an upgraded wireless chip for improved audio functionality, a new low-distortion driver for clearer audio and improved active noise cancelation. Apple AirPods Pro 2 feature truly custom sound: You can use your iPhone's camera to analyze your unique ear anatomy and find the perfect audio settings for you.

Why we like the Apple AirPods 2:

  • They have an upgraded wireless chip with improved active noise cancelation for enhanced audio quality. 
  • They offer 30 hours of listening time with the included charging case. 
  •  Their unique custom sound feature allows the iPhone's camera to analyze ear anatomy for personalized audio settings.

Apple MacBook Air: $649 (save $50)

Looking for a bargain on a laptop from an elite brand? Walmart has the Apple MacBook Air with the M1 chip for just $649. Though this is an older model compared to the just-released MacBook with the M3 chip, the configuration is powerful enough to handle today's computing tasks (and more tasks for years to come).

The Apple MacBook Air with the M1 chip features a 13.3-inch Retina display, 8GB of unified memory, 256GB of storage, an 8-core CPU and a 7-core GPU. Choose between a space gray, silver or gold casing.

This computer is equipped with a TouchID sensor that can unlock the laptop and authorize Apple Pay payments while shopping online. When surfing the web, you'll enjoy Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.

Dyson's lightest intelligent cordless vacuum, the versatile Dyson V12 Detect Slim can deep clean your home, finding otherwise invisible dust on hard floors. The machine optimizes run time based on debris picked up, tracking it on the LCD screen. The screen also displays a run-time countdown and maintenance alerts. 

We like the de-tangling cleaner head, which deep cleans carpets and hardwood floors without getting stopped up on pet hair. It comes with a two-year warranty.

Stave off the summer heat with this portable air conditioner, which features three modes and a capability of cooling up to 250 square feet.
