The 73+ best deals to shop during the Walmart Deals event while you still can
Walmart Deals is almost over, but the retailer is still offering discountsacross categories like tech, kitchen essentials and beauty. The sale starts on July 8 and will run for six days both in-store and online through July 13. Walmart+ members can also access exclusive benefits like free shipping and discounts on streaming, food, gas and more. I frequently cover shopping events like Amazon Prime Day (which ends tonight), Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I've also been covering Walmart's sales events for two years, so I'm well versed on the best ways to shop its sales. Below, I rounded up the best Walmart Deals event deals, all of which are highly rated and at least 20% off. I'll frequently update this list during the Walmart deals event, but be sure to shop soon — products are quickly selling out.

63+ best Prime Day deals under $25: Save on Apple, Olaplex, Lego and more
Amazon Prime Day 2025 is now on its second-to-last day, and while the big-ticket items tend to steal the spotlight, some of the best savings are hiding in the under-$25 section. During the four-day sale, which is exclusive to Prime members, you'll find worthwhile deals across categories like tech, beauty and household essentials — many of them at their lowest prices ever. I've been covering Prime Day at NBC Select for over four years, so I know how to separate real deals from filler. I spent weeks combing through thousands of listings to curate the best Prime Day deals under $25. Every product I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in at least three months. This list will be updated regularly throughout Prime Day, so check back as new price drops roll in. Best Prime Day deals under $25 One of our favorite smart plugs, this Amazon model plugs into any standard outlet and lets you automate gadgets like lamps, air purifiers and fans — simply pair the smart plug with the Alexa app and then plug in your electronic appliance. You can also control a device remotely using the Alexa app on your phone. Attach your AirTag to your keys, wallet, luggage, pet's collar and more to find and keep track of them. The Apple FindMy app lets you pinpoint the exact location of your AirTag if it's within 30 feet, and its chime and sound feature makes your items even easier to find. These Kitchenaid oven mitts are made from soft, ribbed silicone that's grippy, water-resistant and heat-resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the brand. They also feel comfortable against your skin, thanks to a cotton cuff. This anti-frizz spray helps minimize heat damage and makes hair smooth after styling. It is a favorite among our NBC Select editors, who use it regularly and say it never leaves their hair feeling greasy or weighed down. The brand recommends evenly distributing the product through damp hair and blow-drying afterward. This moisturizer earned the No. 3 spot on our list of 100 best moisturizers. It's fragrance- and oil-free, gentle for those with sensitive skin and noncomedogenic, which means it won't clog your pores. 'This is one of my all-time favorite moisturizers because it never irritates my sensitive, acne-prone skin and absorbs quickly, so I can wear it under makeup,' says NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. 'It makes my often dry skin feel smooth and hydrated very quickly post-application.' This toiletry bag won an NBC Select Travel Award because its spaciousness and multiple compartments make it easy to organize makeup, skin care or other travel items. I use this bag when I'm going on either a long, overseas trip or a short weekend getaway. It holds everything I need, its soft sides make it easy to store, and the clear compartments show me where my belongings are stored. Plug the Fire Stick into your TV's HDMI port to stream movies, TV shows and music. The remote has built-in Amazon Alexa, so you can control it using your voice, plus 16GB of storage to download streaming apps, games and other content on your device. Stocking up on household essentials this Prime Day? Consider this on-sale pack of 32 Energizer AA batteries, which can last up to 10 years in storage (so you don't have to worry about using them right away). Carry this sling bag for easy access to all of your essentials, including your passport, wallet and phone. It's made from water-resistant nylon and folds down into a compact zip pouch, so you can store it in your travel backpack or carry-on. This plant-based powder is a favorite of Malin's: 'I'm very loyal to Orgain's protein powder, which I've used for at least five years. It completely blends into my smoothies, making them creamy and smooth rather than gritty,' she says. It has 21 grams of protein per serving, and the container includes a scooper. The protein powder comes in several flavors, including vanilla bean, horchata and strawberries and cream. This pack of three includes two all-purpose cleaners to clean grease, grime and soap scum, plus a bathroom disinfecting spray to clean sinks, toilet exteriors and showers. Each cleaner is bleach-free, so you can disinfect most household surfaces without the chemical smell. This personal water filter is great to take on hikes, camping or other outdoor adventures. It filters out parasites, microplastics and impurities from your water as you sip through the top mouthpiece, plus its lightweight and slim design makes it easy to take on the go. This is one of our favorite Amazon kitchen gadgets: simple add kernels, throw it in the microwave and enjoy a warm snack in minutes. The body is made of transparent glass, so you can watch kernels pop, plus the removable lid doubles as a measuring cup that tells you exactly how many kernels to add. You can also add butter directly on top of the lid, which has little holes that allow the butter to melt in the microwave and drip down onto your popcorn. This shower oil is a favorite among our NBC Select editors as a post-body wash step or as a shaving cream alternative. I use this every time I shower, and I love the thick, silky texture — it leaves my skin soft, smooth and smelling great (the almond scent isn't overpowering). This meat thermometer has a digital display that shows meat temperature in about three seconds, which can come in handy during a summer barbecue. It's durable, water-resistant and has a built-in temperature guide for different meats. I own several silk scrunchies from Kitsch, and plan to expand my collection with this pack of eight spiral hair ties. The hair ties, which are about the size of a quarter, are stretchy, water-resistant and prevent tangling and breakage, according to the brand. This is one of my favorite board games to play with friends and family — it's easy, fast paced and great for both children and adults. Players compete by building trains and railways to see who can claim the most routes and stations. The game comes with 110 train car pieces, 30 destination tickets and a rulebook. I keep at least one Touchland hand sanitizer spray at my desk at all times — it's easy to apply with one hand, and it's small enough to conveniently throw in my bag and carry around with me. The Glow Mist's rosewater fragrance is also one of my favorite scents and is far more appealing than the typical chemical sanitizer smell. This USB-C wall charger can charge two devices simultaneously without sacrificing charging speed, according to the brand. Plus, it folds down to help prevent tangling with other cords and cables in your bag, and its compact size makes it easy to take on the go. One of our favorite under-eye patches, these Topicals masks are sticky, so they won't slide on your face. The gel feels cooling on the skin and has niacinamide for brightening and hydrating, as well as caffeine for temporary depuffing, according to the brand. Differin Gel helps treat mild to moderate acne and blackheads using adapalene gel, a type of retinoid. It also helps cure inflammation, deep cleans pores and prevents new pimples from forming, experts say in our guide to cystic acne. The brand recommends applying a thin layer all over your face after cleansing and moisturizing. Connect your Echo Pop to Wi-Fi and control compatible devices, get weather alerts, play music, set timers and more using your voice or the Amazon Alexa app. This smart speaker is compact enough to sit on your nightstand, shelf or mantle. This variety pack comes with 132 gallon Ziploc bags that are safe to store in the freezer. The bags are designed with a stand-up bottom, so you can easily fill them up hands-free. This 52-pack of Cascade dishwasher tablets soak, scrub and rinse dishes while leaving behind a fresh, clean scent. Kind bars are always in our office snack collection. This variety pack of Kind bars comes in three flavors: caramel, almond and sea salt; dark chocolate, nuts and sea salt; and peanut butter and dark chocolate. Each bar is individually wrapped in a mini size (great for a quick snack). Olaplex makes some of our favorite clarifying shampoos and sulfate-free hair products. This shampoo works for all hair types and helps hydrate and repair damaged hair, according to the brand. Hefty Ultra Strong 13 Gallon Trash Bags $14.24 $23.09 Amazon Now 38% off Now is a great time to stock up on discounted home essentials, like these Hefty trash bags. This pack includes 110 13-gallon garbage bags with a lavender and sweet vanilla scent to keep your home odor-free. La Roche-Posay is an editor-favorite skin care brand because its products are hydrating and gentle. Best for normal to oily skin, this facial cleanser from the brand has niacinamide and ceramides to soothe your skin, as well as glycerin to add moisture. It's also fragrance-free, so it's great for sensitive skin. One of our favorite pimple patches, the Mighty Patch uses hydrocolloid gel to absorb oil, dirt and dirt from your pimples, according to the brand. They're a favorite of NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez, who loves that they blend into her skin tone, so no one can tell she has one on. Hypochlorous acid helps remove bacteria from the skin, reduces redness, and aids in healing eczema flare-ups, sunburns and even bug bites. This Magic Molecule spray is an NBC Select editor favorite because it's easy to apply, fast-acting and lasts a very long time. Spray this after a workout, on a hot day or whenever you need a refresh. This giftable Lego set is the size of a small storage box to hold all of its 484 pieces. It comes with flat baseplates and cube-shaped interlocking pieces, small wheels for building trains and cars, pieces for making animals and more.

PSA: Color Wow's Dream Coat Spray is 30% off for Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day is here, giving Prime members exclusive access to deals across categories like beauty and wellness, vacuums and kitchen appliances. If you're looking to restock your hair care essentials or just want to try something new, Amazon is currently discounting a handful of formulas from some of our favorite brands, including Color Wow. Its signature defrizzing product, the Dream Coat spray, is currently 30% off this Prime Day. This Color Wow spray coats hair in heat-activated polymers that defy humidity to keep hair smooth and well-behaved no matter the weather, according to the brand. I recently used it before attending a rooftop cocktail party in the rain and couldn't believe how well my blowout held. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio also loves it because it's lightweight, color-safe, suitable for all hair types and doubles as a heat protectant, while NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin uses the curly version for frizz-free diffusing. 'I've been using this for over two years and I literally don't remember what it was like to blow dry my hair without it,' says NBC Select associate social media editor Caitlin Cusack. 'I have super frizzy hair and this product makes a noticeable difference with frizz and leaves my hair feeling soft for days between washes.' The extra-strength version is also 30% off for Prime Day. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a freelance writer for NBC Select who has covered deals and sales for three years. To evaluate the quality of this Color Wow Dream Coat deal, I ran it through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel to ensure it's at its lowest price in at least three months. I also made sure it's a highly rated item, at least 20% off and has at least a 4.0-star average rating from hundreds of reviews.

Stock up — Poppi's Prebiotic Soda packs are almost 40% off right now
Amazon Prime Day is here, giving Prime members exclusive access to deals across categories like household essentials (think: laundry detergent and toilet paper), beauty and wellness, sneakers, and tech. If you've wanted to try or needed to restock your gut-friendly beverages, now's the time to do it. Amazon is currently discounting the Poppi Sparkling Prebiotic Soda in several flavors. A variety pack is currently 37% off — its lowest price to date. Soda tastes good, sure — but it doesn't always make you feel great. Plus, it has a bad rap, thanks to its high sugar content (or, in diet versions, artificial sweeteners). That's led to the boom of alternatives like Poppi, which is a prebiotic soda with all the refreshing carbonation of soda but with fewer downsides; it's lower in both sugar and calories than traditional sodas, and also higher in fiber. (Prebiotics, for the unfamiliar, serve as fuel for the beneficial bacteria in your gut; because of this effect, they've been linked to digestive health.) Each can of Poppi clocks in at 35 calories or less, with no more than 5 grams of sugar. Plus, Poppi's sodas come in a huge range of fun flavors. In this variety pack, you can enjoy some of the brand's latest flavors, including Punch Pop, a limited-edition fruity flavor made with summer in mind, and Alpine Blast, a citrus-y flavor that feels especially refreshing this time of year. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin credits Poppi's prebiotic sodas with helping cut back her soda consumption since she started drinking a can a day in 2020. 'I often have more Poppi than food in my refrigerator,' she says. 'The flavors are so refreshing and you can't go wrong with any of them. They're great bases for cocktails and mocktails, too.' If you're already a Poppi fan, you also might want to stock up on the brand's Cream Soda flavor, which was a limited release earlier this year. The brand has brought it back just for Amazon Prime Day for 37% off — again, its lowest price yet. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a writer for NBC Select who's covered deals and sales for five years. I found the Poppi Prebiotic Soda 12-Pack at its lowest price in at least three months and will continue to monitor its pricing throughout the four-day long sales event.

BTW, the Hatch alarm clock is on sale for Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day is here, which means Prime members get exclusive access to mega deals across every major category including household essentials (think: toilet paper and soap, for example), beauty and wellness items, tech, vacuums and more. If you've been wanting to revamp your sleep routine, now's the time. Amazon is currently discounting one of the best sleep aids you can get: the Hatch sunrise alarm clock. It's currently 18% off — its lowest price to date. I live in a Hatch household: I have a Hatch Rest for my toddler and the Hatch Restore 3 for me. As someone on a years-long journey to break up with my phone, I was looking for an alternative to my phone that was not my '90s-era alarm clock, and this fit the bill. The whole point of the Hatch Sunrise 3 is to help people unplug, both before bed and in the morning. The sunrise alarm is gentle, not jarring — and since I'm a light sleeper, it always does the trick to wake me. And while I didn't necessarily need white noise to fall asleep, it's been a big perk to have more than 80 sounds to choose from when a neighbor's party goes late or my husband starts snoring. Unlike the previous iteration (the Restore 2), the Restore 3 has new sleep sounds, better audio, and more controls on the device that allow you to advance, pause, or swap content without needing to use your phone (which has an app). I can control the brightness level of the numbers on the clock, dimming them at night, and the bedside light button has been really helpful for when my daughter wakes up in the middle of the night. Plus, the alarm clock itself fits in with my decor. The app is intuitive to use, and makes it easy to customize both the Rest and Restore 3 for the whole family. I don't personally use the meditations, sleep stories, or soundscape options (and therefore don't have a Hatch+ subscription, which provides that), but even without those, I've still found it to be a worthwhile swap. (And the Hatch Restore 3 comes with a free trial to Hatch+ — I just never activated it.) I'm not the only one who likes it — many NBC Select staffers are also fans. 'I've used the Hatch for about three years and I couldn't imagine waking up or going to sleep without it,' says NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. 'I love customizing the sound and color of my morning alarm and evening noise machine, and it makes for a more pleasant all around sleep experience. Plus, it looks so nice on my side tablet due to the linen material that it's wrapped in.' Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a writer for NBC Select who's covered deals and sales for five years. I found the Hatch alarm clock, at its lowest price in at least three months and will continue to monitor its pricing throughout the four-day long sales event.
