Walmart is running a Fall Deals event right now, and it is full of discounts on TVs, vacuums, toys, and tech. The sale runs Oct. 5–11, and you do not need a membership to shop it. Walmart’s own writers warn of sketchy third-party sellers inflating prices.
The TV Deal Worth Getting
The headline grabber is the 65-inch Vizio Class Quantum 4K QLED HDR Smart TV, model VQD65R-10. It is on sale for $328, down from $498, which is a $170 cut. The Vizio is a vibrant QLED display with enhanced Dolby Vision HDR, and the price is a damn good deal for a 65-inch screen.
There are other TV options too. The 65-inch onn. 4K is $258, the 65-inch Samsung Class M70HB Series Mini LED 4K is $428, and the 55-inch TCL QM6K Series QD-Mini LED 4K TV is $497.99.
Headphones and Earbuds
The Apple AirPods Pro 3 are the standout here. They have class-leading ANC, eight hours of battery life, clear sound, live translation, and a built-in heart rate monitor. At $179, they are just $10 away from their lowest price ever.
The JBL Tune 520BT is $34.95, the Apple AirPods 4 are $79, the JBL Endurance Peak 4 is $89.95, the Beats Studio Pro is $119, and the Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are $119.97.
Video Games and Legos
If you have a kid who loves Mario, the Super Mario RPG game is on sale for $34.87. Stray costs $28.49 and Luigi’s Mansion 3 costs $48.99.
For Lego fans, the Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle and Grounds set, 76419, is $136.99, down from $169.99. There are smaller sets too: Lego Botanicals Daisies, Lego Classic Medium Creative Brick Box, Lego Speed Champions Time Machine from Back to the Future, and Lego Minecraft The Creeper.
Vacuums and Appliances
The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum, NV380, is $118, down from $179, which is a $61 savings. Stock is low, so this discount may not last until Oct. 5.
The Dyson V10 Konical cordless is $399.99 and the Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones cordless is $479.99.
The Ninja Foodi DualZone Air Fryer is $109, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ is $219.99.
The Caveat
Walmart’s writers warn of sketchy third-party sellers. These sellers inflate list prices, and anything you buy should have a note that reads “Sold and shipped by Walmart.com.” All deals in this roundup are legit, according to the writers.
“We’ve found tons of sketchy, third-party sellers selling items with inflated list prices.”
