The part of the summer when every major retailer follows Amazon' lead with Prime Day by holding its own deal event has arrived, giving you several opportunities to score a great deal on top tech. This year, Walmart beat Amazon to the punch and held its Walmart Deals event from July 8 to July 11, an entire week before Amazon Prime Day. Even though the event is technically over and Prime Day is here, the Walmart deals are still active and very competitive.

The deals span every tech item you can think of and lots more, making this the perfect opportunity to purchase something you have been eyeing, snag some birthday gifts for loved ones, get some back-to-school tech, or even get a head start on, dare I say, holiday shopping.
Unlike Amazon Prime Day, which requires a Prime membership to enjoy the sale, Walmart allows you to shop for deals without a pricey membership. All you have to do is visit the site and start shopping.
To make your Walmart Deals shopping experience easier, I've rounded up some of the best deals below. I'll continue to update this Walmart deals roundup for the rest of Amazon Prime Day, which ends tonight.
Walmart Deals is the store's big sale event, beginning on July 8 at 5 p.m. ET and ending on July 11 at 11 p.m. ET. The event's date was likely strategically planned to occur one week before Amazon Prime Day. Even though the event is now over, most of the deals are still active, so you can still take advantage today.
Amazon Prime Day is a two-day sale event that began July 16 and ends tonight. It follows Walmart's deal event.
