While many tend to associate October with Halloween festivities, we’ve been focused on all the scary good deals this month. Several retailers dropped major sales to kick off the holiday shopping season with discounts on home, tech, fashion, beauty, toys and more — and Walmart was no exception. For our What to Shop This Week series last week, beauty and lifestyle expert Bahar Takhtehchian stopped by TODAY to share the very best of Walmart Deals. And while the sale officially ended Oct. 12, we noticed plenty of markdowns you can still shop up to 84% off.
Starting Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. ET, Walmart Plus members were given early access to save big on walmart.com and via the Walmart app. Deals opened up to all on Oct. 7 at 12 a.m. ET for online shoppers and at 6 a.m. local time in stores. Per the initial press release, the seven-day sale featured buzzy name brands like Dyson and Calvin Klein, as well as Walmart-exclusive lines like Free Assembly and Better Homes & Gardens.
Wondering what items have Takhtehchian’s attention? Getting ready for hosting season can be stressful, but we have a kitchen pick that will streamline any food preparation. This five-in-one immersion blender with over 4,600 five-star reviews lets you mix, froth, chop and whip up your favorite festive treats in no time at all. If you want to look your best before your next gathering, Takhtehchian also found slashed prices on wardrobe and beauty essentials for an affordable fall refresh. From a quilted puffer vest to a Revlon blow dryer brush, there are tons of options — starting at just $15 — for you to choose from. And don’t think we forgot about the holiday gifts! Below you’ll find an 18k gold-plated tennis bracelet that will make unwrapping presents this year more memorable than ever.
