You’ve likely heard of Christmas in July, but what about the Black Friday of summer? Over a decade ago, back in 2015, Amazon hosted its very first Prime Day Sale, and it has since evolved into a monumental savings week that multiple retailers participate in. Walmart is the first to get into the action this year with Walmart Summer Deals.
What is the Walmart Summer Deals event?
Walmart Summer Deals is the retailer’s Prime Day sale rival. The savings event starts now, Monday, June 22, and runs until Saturday, June 28. These deals are available for everyone to shop in-store and online, but Walmart+ members do get to shop select savings 24 hours earlier.
If you’ve ever been interested in the perks of a Walmart+ membership, like free shipping and fuel-cost savings, this week is also the time to sign up for a membership plan for 50% off, which brings the $98 annual price tag to under $50. I personally recommend it — I took advantage of this deal last year for the free grocery delivery, and according to the Walmart+ dashboard, I’ve already saved over $200 from these perks. You can sign up for Walmart+ here.
That being said, you don’t actually need Walmart+ to snag the massive markdowns found in nearly every department during Summer Deals week. By tomorrow, Tuesday, June 23, these steep savings will be accessible to everyone, even without a membership. There are countless deals to shop, but some of our favorites are on electronics, with up to 88% off top-rated selections.
Make a smarter investment with electronic deals
Electronics are typically designed to make our lives easier and more enjoyable, whether it’s a smartwatch that tracks your health and fitness, a pair of earbuds that adds background music to your morning commute, or a portable charger that provides peace of mind. These innovative gadgets continue to advance, and keeping up with the latest tech can be a big burden on your budget. By stocking up on these electronics during Walmart Summer Deals, you can get them at a fraction of the price, making it a smart time to invest.
There are over a thousand markdowns in the tech category as part of this savings event, and to help you make the best money-saving moves, we’ve curated a hand-picked list of the most impressive deals. We’ve found rare deals on beloved name brands as well as the most substantial savings from lesser-known brands, all of which are well-rated by reviewers. From laptops and tablets to headphones and Bluetooth speakers, we’ve rounded up the best electronic discounts from Walmart Summer Deals to shop below.
Laptops and tablets up to 50% off
If you need a bargain laptop to complete school assignments or a simple tablet for streaming Netflix and playing mobile games, you can get them for a steal this week. You can discover picks, like the Acer Chromebook 315 Laptop, for under $150, and tablets, such as the Doundy Android 15 Tablet, starting as low as $66. It’s not just the basic models that are discounted. You can save over $550 on a gaming desktop PC with all the bells and whistles with a deal on the Acer Nitro 60 Gaming Desktop. Whatever level of computing power you require, you will likely be able to find it at a lower price point during this sales event.

Headphones and earbuds up to 86% off
Some of the most commonly used electronics are headphones and earbuds, especially for audiophiles. Gym workouts, house chores, after-dinner walks, and workday commutes can all be elevated with a pair of headphones and the perfect soundtrack. There are wireless earbuds up to 86% off, which are super convenient for on-the-go wear. You can also find savings on noise-canceling over-ear headphones if you want something to help you lock in and focus during your next work deadline or study session, like the highly rated Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones, which are discounted by over $200.

Home theater and audio equipment up to 83% off
Transform your living room television setup into something worthy of the cinema with a home audio system complete with a sound bar and subwoofer. Normally, this could easily cost a couple of hundred dollars, but the popular Ultimea 5.1 Surround Sound System is on sale for just $95 during Walmart’s sales event. The summer is also a great time to create a drive-in movie theater experience in your own backyard with a projector and Bluetooth speaker, which you can get for around $80 by bundling the Artsea Smart Mini 4K Projector and JLab GO Party Speaker deals.

Essentially, any electronic you can imagine is available at a lower price during Walmart Summer Deals. Do you need a smartwatch to keep tabs on your Facebook messages or track your workouts? You could get the $190 Cillso Smartwatch for just $22, which is 88% in savings back into your pocket on the wearable tech. A power bank to juice up your smartphone or earbuds at the end of a long day is incredibly handy to have slipped into your backpack, and the bestselling Btootos Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger is just $22 currently.
