If you're like me and trying to stay cool during these hot summer days, there's only one way to pass the time: shopping Walmart's massive anti-Prime Day sale with savings up to 75% off. As a shopping editor, I live for weeks where I can score deep discounts on, well, just about everything — think fashion essentials, outdoor furniture, smart TVs and more. I've been combing the Walmart Deals selection for hours and have found tons of incredible discounts from brands like Shark, Crocs, Skechers and Apple that are still in stock.
A few items worth calling out? Dessert lovers should grab the Ninja Creami ice cream maker that's priced lower at Walmart than at Amazon — just $169, down from $199. If you've always wanted the popular Bissell Little Green vacuum, now's the time to act. It's on sale for a low $82. Sleep hot? Grab these cooling sheets that are marked down to $17. Heck, even the retailer's Walmart+ membership is on sale for $49, down from $98.
There's no time to waste — everyone knows the hottest items almost always sell out quickly, so have your card handy to make the checkout process quick and easy. Now, onto more of my favorite Walmart deals.
Walmart Deals: 70% off or more
Want to feel like you're sleeping on bedding worthy of a luxe hotel? Well, this sheet set for just $18 (yes, really!) will get you there. Walmart shoppers rave about 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.
$80 for a Tineco vacuum? That price is unheard of! This slim, lightweight model boasts a HEPA filtration system and easily turns and glides in all directions. One shopper who snagged the vacuum had this to say: "I've spent money on vacuums that cost two to three more than this one and they did not perform as well. Not only did this one clean my carpet, but it caught hairs I didn't even see with the naked eye. It's worth every penny."
If your current bags have seen better travel days, it's time to level up. Lightweight and durable, each piece of this three-piece luggage set suitcase has 360° silent spinner wheels, so you can easily maneuver around the airport and book it during those tight layovers. Inside, you'll find zippered dividers to keep your belongings secure. Oh, and did we mention you can choose from seven colors?
Nothing like a heat wave to remind you just how essential a good fan is, right? Don't wait a second longer to grab this popular Dreo model that's 36 inches tall and oscillates to cool down large rooms. There are four speeds, four modes and it even comes with a remote that you can use to control it from the couch
Sometimes buying earbuds can feel like a pick-two game: having to choose between sound quality, comfort and price. This pair delivers all three for a very affordable $18. Water-resistant and TV-ready, these Veatool earbuds can be used for nearly anything — from working out at the gym to watching a real tearjerker at home. You can get up to 60 hours of playback between the buds and the case.
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.
Walmart Deals: $25 and under
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, it's a strong contender for your summertime wardrobe.
Hoops are a style staple, not least because they look beautiful dressed up or down. These C&C earrings take that look to the next level, with 18k white gold plating, tastefully crusted with dazzling Swarovski crystals. Another plus: They're hypoallergenic and contain no lead or nickel, so they won't cause probs for even the most sensitive skin.
Your beauty sleep is worth its weight in gold. Luckily, with these luxe headrests from Serta, you won't have to pay in gold to get it. These pillows (just $11 a pop!) are filmed with cooling gel memory foam, so you're always snoozing on the comfy side of the pillow — and the foam will, in time, adjust to your exact shape, providing a totally customized sleep experience.
We've said it before, we'll say it again — dull knives are more dangerous than sharp ones. So if it's been a while since you've invested in new cutlery, use this week's sales as an opportunity to upgrade. This set includes an 8-inch chef knife, an 8-inch bread knife, a 7-inch Santoku knife, a 5-inch utility knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife, six 4.5-inch steak knives, kitchen shears and a steel sharpener rod. It's $30 at Amazon, but savvy shoppers can nab it for $10 less than that at Walmart.
We love the pastel colors of this eye-catching knife set, which includes an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch bread knife, an 8-inch slicing knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, a 5-inch utility knife and a 3.5-inch paring knife, as well as blade guards for safe and easy storage. A ceramic coating gives you non-stick cutting and optimal food safety.
Walmart Deals: Tech
Ready to dive into some blockbusters? How about watching some summer baseball games? If you're still not rocking a sufficiently brilliant set, let us introduce you to the Hisense 43-inch 4K Smart TV. The television has crisp, clear, high-def picture quality and comes with a Google Assistant button on the remote to help you find and stream thousands of movies and shows.
A 75-inch smart TV for under $400? Yep, it's real — and it's glorious.

It even works with a variety of smart home setups, like Apple Home, Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
If you're using only your TV's built-in speakers for your audio, you're probably missing part of the story. A soundbar, like this crazy-affordable option, will help fill in the audio gaps, giving you richer, fuller and clearer sound for a more immersive listening experience.

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.

Every woman should own a classic black one-piece swimsuit. Not only can it be slimming, but a high-cut style like this one also works wonders to lengthen the legs. It has an inner shelf bra with removable cups in the bodice, plus it's machine washable. If black feels too boring for you, go with one of the other brighter colors — purple, yellow or coral.
Walmart Deals: Beauty
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.
