Walmart Extends Up to 50% Off Sale Through Sunday to Challenge Prime Day

3 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jun 27

Summary

  • Sunday night is the new cutoff for Walmart's summer sale, which stayed live after Amazon's Prime Day ended and still offers discounts of up to 50% across electronics, home goods and outdoor gear.
  • Key offers include Walmart+ at $49 for a year — 50% off — alongside product markdowns such as a Fitbit Charge 6 for $84, a 55-inch TCL TV for $498 and a Beats Pill speaker for $100.
  • Higher-ticket categories remain central to the push, with gaming laptops discounted by as much as $770 and premium TVs including a 77-inch Sony Bravia at $3,498, down 30% from $5,000.
  • The extension underscores Walmart's strategy of mirroring or undercutting Prime Day-style promotions to keep shoppers buying even after Amazon's June 23-26 event closed.
