Forget Prime Day — the Meta Quest 3S deal of the season just dropped at Walmart, plus up to 50% off other tech
Legendary deals on VR headsets, Android tablets, and more
This year's Prime Day finally went live on June 23rd, but Amazon isn't the only retailer dropping great deals this week. Walmart just kicked off its rival "Walmart Deals" sale event, slashing prices on everything from headphones and smartphones to top-selling VR headsets. Sure, it may not be the most cleverly-named sale event around, but if you want to skip Amazon's big sale this year, the Walmart Deals event has you covered.
One of the best parts of the weeklong sale event is that, unlike the best Prime Day deals, Walmart won't force you to sign up for a membership program to enjoy most of these discounts. Simply hit that Add to Cart button and the savings are yours.
With that being said, if you were interested in Walmart+, it's worth mentioning that the retailer is currently slashing 50% off an annual membership, dropping the price to only $49 for one year. Walmart+ members get benefits like free shipping, fuel discounts, and access to select deals before anyone else.
When does the Walmart Deals sale end?
The Walmart Deals sale event kicked off on June 22nd and will run through Sunday, June 28th. That being said, many of the best discounts are "flash deals" that only run for a limited time, so don't wait too long if a particular offer catches your eye.
When is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon's biggest sale of the year began on June 23rd and will run through June 26th.
