At this point, you really can’t ignore Amazon Prime Day. Every corner of the internet is yammering about how the Everything Store is slashing the price of thousands of items until June 26 and supposedly offering the best deals on the web. But can we let you in on a little secret? You might be able to find even better deals at Walmart.
We know Amazon has pretty much owned the multi-shopping extravaganza since its first Prime Day back in 2015, but Walmart has been offering great deals for longer. After all, Walmart first opened up in 1962 and started its rollback program in the 1990s. Translation: It’s not too shocking that the O.G. discount destination would have the art of a bargain down pat.

It doesn’t matter if you prefer a glass of frosé or iced-to-perfection lemonade, Ninja’s SLUSHi can transform virtually any combination of liquid ingredients into a delightfully frozen beverage. The magic lies in its RapidChill technology, which manages to slush your mix without a noisy blender or ice that will inevitably water down your drink. Right now, Amazon only has a refurbished version of the 72-ounce SLUSHi available...for $50 more than a brand-new one on Walmart.
Think of LEGO’s succulent set as a low-maintenance way to flex your green thumb.

Come summer, you can never have too much ice on hand. Fortunately, this tabletop machine can make up to 33 pounds of nugget ice per day.

When it comes to best value, Walmart wins by a landslide.
Walmart’s competitor sale is also a great opportunity to buy those daily essentials, like an electric toothbrush. We mean, if you’re already going to buy a new one, why not do it for less?

Behind every productive day is a really good coffee maker, and this option from Cuisinart offers the best of both worlds. The 12-cup pot is perfect for brewing coffee for a crowd, while the single-serve option is ideal for solo drinkers. Bonus points: It’s $50 less than Amazon’s deal.

As I am writing this right now, Amazon doesn’t even have a sale on Ninja’s Power Duo Immersion; however, you can currently buy it at Walmart for 25 percent off.

Want to beat the heat this summer? You need Dreo’s smart tower fan. Not only does this option boast six speeds and a 90-degree oscillation, but it can also be controlled from your smartphone.

Let’s be honest: A hose isn’t the first thing you’d think to buy during a big shopping event.

Otherwise, you’ll spend $6 more on Amazon.
