To wit: DIY meets OMG with this rolling five-drawer tool chest, a very handy $590 off.

As for next week: Dazzle Mom with an 18k white-gold necklace — you'll pay just 18 bucks; she'll think you shelled out many times that.
Well, that ought to keep you busy — and ready to greet Cinco de Mayo with a big stupid smile.

I love my hummingbird feeder. Every summer, I sit on my patio working and watch the ruby-throated hummingbirds buzz around. Once the ants, wasps and bees find it, though, it's game over, as hundreds of them march and buzz their way on in and eventually drown in the sugar water, clogging up my feeder. Not so with this one. It comes with an "ant-moat" which prevents those sneaky buggers from getting to the goods, as well as bee guards, leaving it all for the birds.
Ready to feel old? 'The Chamber of Secrets' turns 23 years of age this year, and I'm talking about the film and not the book. Commemorate it with this awesome little Lego set, which is a steal at under $10.
Is there anything better than Play-Doh? I think this Kinetic Sand may just come out on top, especially with the hidden toys inside each container. This sand sticks together, so you won't be vacuuming it up until high school graduation, and it doesn't dry out so your kids (or grandkids) can play with it over and over again.

Been dying to get your hands on a Switch but don't want to shell out $500 for a preorder of the new iteration and wait months for it to arrive? Well, the OG model is still one of our favorite consoles ever, and with the announcement of its successor comes sale prices on the current one. The best part? You can get your game on now.
This M1 MacBook Air might not be the newest kid on the block, but it's still a rock-solid option for your everyday — think writing, emailing, browsing, streaming. It's quiet, lightweight and the 18-hour battery goes (almost) all day. If you don't need pro-level power, this is plenty of machine for the money.
Okay, maybe you missed the boat on getting a new TV for March Madness but hey, the NBA and NHL playoffs are happening and baseball season's in full swing! Take it all in on a sprawling new screen. This 4K smart model from Hisense is at an insanely low price.
What? Not sprawling enough? It's also on sale in a 65-inch version.
Yahoo Senior Tech Editor Rick Broida dubbed this the best overall tablet of 2024, calling it "extremely versatile" with an "unrivaled selection of apps and accessories." So, if you're looking for a worthy tablet at a great price, grab it now while it's on sale. It comes with a one-year warranty, boasts up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge and has a 10.9-inch screen and 64GB storage.
Big ears? Small ears? No problem. These state-of-the-art Pros provide a special ear-tip fit test so you can find which size is best for you. Whether you're braving the cold on a run or curling up indoors listening to your favorite podcast or audiobook, these earbuds deliver premium sound without breaking the bank.
This streaming stick nails all essentials without feeling cheap (even though it is at this price). 4K streaming and an easy-to-navigate interface — you'd be amazed at how many companies get this wrong — mean fewer headaches and more weekend movie marathons.

Nothing brings people together like food, which, in summer, means it's grilling time. This beast also comes with a side burner, not to mention a bottle opener — because, let's face it, if you're not enjoying a cold one, your grilling game is all wrong (might I suggest one of our favorite non-alcoholic drinks?).
If you're more of a sectional person, this alfresco ensemble seats five, has built-in end tables for drinks and a coffee table as well. Right now it's over $250 off.
There's something about looking up at the night sky in summer that can make you feel so small. With this telescope you can see the stars and planets better than ever before, and its smart phone adapter allows you to easily share that wonder with the little ones in your life.
You're enjoying a backyard BBQ with your family when suddenly a thunderstorm rolls in. You hurriedly grab what you think is everything and head inside, only to realize hours later that your bluetooth speaker got a little shower. Not a problem with this sound machine. It's portable, wire-free, holds a 30-hour charge and is waterproof — fall in the pool and it is still okay kind of waterproof.
Listen, you could spend hundreds of dollars on grass seed, fertilizer, sod and mulch, just for your yard to look like everyone else's on the block, or you can snag this inflatable slide/pool/castle for more than 50% off and have a summer that you and your kids will remember forever.
Why should the adults have all the fun? When you're barbecuing in the backyard with the neighbors, this tiny table is the perfect spot for the little ones, and the umbrella will keep the sun out of their eyes.
Say the words leaf blower and I immediately think of crisp temperatures, weekend yard work and settling in for some college football. Yet, I use mine way more in the spring and summer — blowing buds off the patio, cars and driveway, clearing out the winter's worth of garage dirt and, most often, tidying up the sidewalks after mowing. This one from Greenworks is powerful enough for any job, and a steal more than $30 off.
I love Adirondack chairs. They're classic design is good looking an comfortable, but the cheap $10 ones fall apart after a year and the wooden ones need to be pressure washed and stained each season. Who has time for that? These are weather-resistant and foldable, so they're easy to put away when winter comes along.
Hanging out in the sun is one of the best parts of summer, but not being able to escape it, even in your own backyard, is one of the worst. As someone who looks a bit pale on his best day, an umbrella like this is a lifesaver. Perhaps, over time, literally.
Relaxing on the porch with a book in hand (or my Kindle) is peak summer. This cozy egg chair makes it even better — sturdy, stylish and surprisingly affordable. The included stand and cushions mean no setup stress, just sink in and stay awhile.
The weeds have already started taking over my backyard, and after just a day's worth of lawn maintenance I can really start to feel it in my back. Thanks to its ingenious time-tested (it was originally created in 1913!) design, this tool will not only get rid of your unwanted flora but will prevent the spine torture caused by crouched-over weed pulling.

My fridge has a built-in ice maker, but it's never enough for my family's needs one summer rolls around. Our days start off with iced coffee for my wife and cold brew for me, smoothies for lunch and iced drinks throughout the day and with dinner. This makes the perfect little nuggets of ice to crunch on throughout the day, and in only 6-8 minutes. Compared to my fridge, that's warp speed.
Fact: Homemade ice cream just tastes better than the supermarket stuff. That's because, as with most foods, the fresher the ingredients, the better. "But who wants to make their own?" You will, once you have the Ninja Creami. It's easy, even fun, to use, and you can whip up a batch of your favorite flavor anytime the craving strikes.
Yahoo Senior Tech Writer, Rick Broida, put the Creami to the test and said, "There's a certain mad-scientist joy that comes from creating or discovering a delicious recipe. I think it's especially great for the health-minded, as it affords total control over your ingredients (unlike the pints you buy at the store)." Check out his full review for more.
After dealing with sauce stained plastic food containers from my favorite take out Indian place for years (and hearing about how bad plastic can be for you), I decided to recycle my current food storage and move to glass. While the lids are still plastic, the latches are great at keeping everything air tight and they're incredibly easy to wash in the dishwasher.
With blender, chopper, whisk and milk-frothing attachments, this is much more than just a blender; it can replace half the tools in your kitchen. Not bad at 60% off.
In a perfect world, I'd have enough cabinet space to stash away all of my cooking appliances when they're not in use. But even with a storage-rich kitchen island, I just don't have that kind of real estate, which means some appliances must be left out on display. In this case, I couldn't be happier.
Beautiful may be the brand name of this air fryer, but it's also a pretty accurate description. It's sleek enough that it won't be an eyesore — for you or your guests. Oh, and did I mention it's a healthier alternative to traditional oil-fried food? Win-win.
Get unstuck with a set of smooth, easy-to-use pans. The white granite surface is PFOA-free and the handles are removable, allowing for compact, easy storage. If your cookware has seen better days, this is yet another steal.

There are a few things out there that are perfect. One of them? The other side of the pillow. Why? Because it's cool. Why not experience that bliss on your entire body?
Plus, with a name like NapQueen, it's got to be comfy.
Is your garage looking a bit messy these days? If you're like me, it takes you longer to find the tools and hardware you need than it does to do the job you've been putting off for weeks. Normally, tool cabinets like this one will run you hundreds of dollars, but this one is a whopping 85% off right now — just $107. Get yourself organized and start parking your car in the garage again. That's what it was made for.
Tools are expensive, especially if you need more than one. If you're lucky, you have a "tool guy" in your life — a person you can go to for everything from a bike pedal wrench to a chain saw. My tool guy's name is Kyle, and his garage is full of Milwaukee tools, because they work and they last. Sure, there are cheaper options out there, but in my experience they're usually clumsy to handle, skimp on features and burn out after a year or two of light use. Buy once, cry once, they say. But with this Milwaukee combo deal, there won't be any crying — not unless you count tears of joy when you finally get all of the DIY projects around the house done.
We're about to head into pollen season and then, after that, fire season, and while I hope that neither end up being too bad, I like to plan for the worst. This top-notch machine — ideal for large rooms up to 1,770 square feet — will help make sure the air quality inside your home is better than whatever is outside so you can escape the allergens and smoke. Not to mention, it's nearly 80% off, so you've got yourself one heck of a deal.
If you want to feel like you're sleeping on bedding worthy of a luxe hotel, this sheet set will get you there. More than 5,000 shoppers have fallen in love with its microfiber softness and cooling texture (so long, night sweats!). Another plus? The deep-pocket design fits mattresses up to 16 inches high, so you won't have to worry about the corners flying off in the middle of the night.
Dogs, toddlers and coffee spills. My couches stood no chance. Thankfully there's an easy way to keep my furniture clean, and it's not shelling out hundreds of bucks for a professional cleanup. This pint-sized beast works wonders. And oh yeah: It can also spot-clean your carpets and get up close and personal with your car's grimy interior.
At nearly 5 feet tall, this gold-framed mirror is gorgeous and functional, allowing you to check out your entire outfit while making your room feel a bit bigger. At over 80% off, it's a no-brainer.
Don't let its slim profile fool you: This 70%-off multitasking cordless wonder has a powerful motor that provides the intense suction you need to pick up dirt, pet hair, dust and debris from carpets, hardwood floors, tile and more. When fully charged, it will give you up to 40 minutes of nonstop cleaning — ample time to give the entire house a once-over.
When we see a markdown this drastic, we take note! This trio includes a carry-on, medium and large checked bags, all for just $100. The pieces are hard-sided, which means extra protection, but they're still lightweight. For peace of mind, they come with secure TSA locks
If your home cleaning arsenal needs a little oomph, look no further than this electric power scrubbing wand. It's ideal for banishing stubborn stains, deep cleans like a dream and includes both longer and shorter handle options for reaching just about anything you'd need.
If you've been dyin' to try a Dyson, now would be a great time to snag this lightweight dust destroyer. It can run for up to 40 minutes before needing a recharge, and because it's cordless, you won't have to look for a free outlet each time you move it to a different room. It has three modes, so it can tackle the gnarliest messes with the same grace as a few spilled Cheerios.
Best Walmart deals: Style
Big brands will have you believing that in order to look great you have to work out in apparel that costs as much as a week's worth of groceries, but we're here to tell you that's a whole lotta bunk. At $22 for a six-pack (foreshadowing, anyone?) these shirts are less than $4 apiece, and will keep you looking and feeling cool at the gym, out on walks or playing pickleball.
Sun's out, guns out, so they say. Well, no, no one actually says that, but with the warmer weather comes tank tops and this option from Fantaslook is comfortable while still looking put-together. At $11 (and plenty of other options at $13) it's a strong contender for your summertime wardrobe.
Look, we get it, Crocs aren't exactly the pinnacle of style, but before you start spewing hate, have you ever worn them? There's a reason they're so popular — they're absurdly comfortable, practically indestructible and weirdly versatile. Whether you're gardening, running errands or just walking the dog, they somehow manage to be the shoes you didn't know you needed ... until you slip them on and suddenly understand the hype. Get a pair in one of 27 colors.
This stunning necklace is the ideal accent piece for just about any outfit, immediately jazzing up a casual ensemble or fitting right in with an elegant wedding-guest look. And, seriously, white gold? For less than 20 bucks? It's hard to believe, but Walmart has the hookup.
This curve-skimming top with its vertical pleats is designed to have a slimming effect, which works especially with busier prints like this small-scale floral — though the top is available in an assortment of colors and patterns. It's soft and even resistant to shrinkage in the machine, so no sweat washing and wearing this one all spring and summer. At more than 50% off, you can probably afford to pick up a few.
Determined to get your steps in this spring? There's no better incentive than a pair of comfy, all-day walking shoes. These Skechers slip-ons have a soft, breathable mesh upper and memory foam insole for cushioning and support. Wide-width options ensure a cozy fit for everyone.
Best Walmart deals: Beauty
I'm not coordinated enough to juggle a round brush and a blow dryer at the same time. Luckily, the L'ange does both, delivering smooth, voluminous tresses with way less effort. Oh, and did I mention it's nearly half off?
If your current toothbrush isn't cutting it, this electric one will leave your choppers cleaner than they've been in ages. To accomplish this noble task, it uses 8,800 plaque-slaying strokes per minute. You'll get four brush heads too, which can cost a pretty penny on their own.
In the world of hair dryers, the Dyson Supersonic is considered the gold standard, but it comes with a $400-plus price tag. This alternative from Nexpure is a mere fraction of the price even when it's not on sale. It'll help you get a sleek, salon-worthy blowout, and it has ionic technology to reduce frizz and ramp up the shine as hair dries, giving you a smooth look. Finally, it boasts 1,800 watts to help you get the level of drying power you want.
For those of us who grew up with short hair and didn't learn the wonders of blow-drying and brushing at the same time, this hair dryer brush is a lifesaver. It can get closer to your scalp than a regular blow dryer without completely toasting your hair, and is great for both straightening and curling.
