I trust Aldi's produce more than Walmart - I've never had an issue with Aldi, but Walmart's produce molds so fast,

With Thanksgiving five weeks away, retailers are once again stepping in to take some of the guesswork out of hosting. Walmart, Aldi, and Sam's Club have each shared this year's menus of ready-to-order Thanksgiving meal kits. Costco also appears to be in on the trend; one shopper on social media spotted a meal kit available in the fresh food section.

Usually, outrageous price tags are associated with beautiful furniture - but the savviest shoppers know that doesn't need to be the case. Big-box retailers like Walmart continuously turn that narrative on its head (including iconic collaborations with Drew Barrymore) by offering pieces that are just as fabulous and on-trend as those high-end brands that charge clients thousands of dollars for similar looks.

"This rechargeable lamp is perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and anywhere you want some ambient lighting," one Walmart shopper wrote. "This lamp is light, [has] easy touch control to dim or brighten the light, and looks great with any decor style! And the fact that it's rechargeable means you can set them anywhere in the house and not have to worry about having an outlet to plug into!"

I think I can speak for the rest of the Apartment Therapy team when I say that we're beyond excited about fall. All the decor trends I've been patiently waiting for - natural textures, rich, earthy color palettes, and cozy-as-ever accents - are now beginning to pop up in all my favorite stores. But of all the fall decor offerings on the market right now, Walmart's lineup surprised me the most.

In 2018, tech giant Apple became the first U.S. company to reach a market capitalization of $1 trillion. Since then, it's been joined by other companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Tesla. Of course, the list also includes the current market-cap leader, Nvidia. It's becoming increasingly normal for a new company to join the $1 trillion club. But it remains an impressive feat nevertheless. At this pace, these tech titans could be joined by brick-and-mortar giant Walmart in 2026.

When is October Prime Day 2025? This year, Amazon's October Prime Day sale runs from Oct. 7 to 8. The annual sale will last for two days in the fall, and you can expect to see a range of deals on household goods and electronics. Are Walmart products really cheaper on Prime Day? They can be! Ever since Black Friday first launched, online retailers have jumped on Amazon sales events to launch their own 'anti-' sales events.

The adorable Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant is on sale for its lowest price ever at Amazon and Walmart. Normally $60, the 540-piece display model is up for grabs for only $35. Amazon's deal is available for everyone--though it certainly could sell out--but you need a Walmart+ membership to get the deal from Walmart. It's one of the marquee Lego deals in Walmart's new sale that's running alongside Prime Big Deal Days.

In an official press release, Walmart revealed that it plans to eliminate synthetic dyes from all of its store-brand food labels, along with 30 other ingredients, some of which are already banned in other countries. The changes will affect the brands Great Value, Marketside, Freshness Guaranteed, and bettergoods, which are all Walmart-made products. The company does not mention any government policy by name, instead noting that the decision is in response to changing consumer preferences.

Walmart said Wednesday that it plans to remove synthetic food dyes and 30 other ingredients, including some preservatives, artificial sweeteners and fat substitutes, from its store brands sold in the United States by January 2027. The move announced by the the nation's largest retailer amounts to an acknowledgment that American consumers and the U.S. government under President Donald Trump are paying attention to what goes into packaged foods.

I recently visited Bentonville, the home of Walmart, in northwest Arkansas. The city is modern, upbeat, and diverse, with many new restaurants and plenty of history. Bentonville is one of the greenest cities I've been to, with miles of hiking and biking trails. Everyone in Bentonville either works for Walmart ora supplier for Walmart - or knows someone who does, an Uber driver said as he showed me around the downtown.

"Adjustments related to tips from earlier periods may relate to different reasons depending on your impacted tips, including cases where customers were not charged for those tips," the message read.

And if Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner's instincts are right, that number will hold steady in the coming years, despite all the talk of how the growing use of artificial intelligence (A.I.) might decimate jobs across the economy. "When we look out two years, three years, five years, where I think we'll be is we'll have roughly the same number of people we have today,"

Most Arcade1Up releases these days are $500-$600 Deluxe Arcade Cabinets, but Walmart carries a trio of models that more closely resemble Arcade1Up's early hits. These throwback Special Edition machines cost $334 each and are themed around Mortal Kombat 2, Ms. Pac-Man, and Pac-Man. Each cabinet is preloaded with 13 games and has a 15.6-inch IPS display. Other features include dual stereo speakers, Wi-Fi support for leaderboards and multiplayer, and pretty solid controls to mirror Arcade1Up's pricier options.

In the midst of a so-called "egg-calypse," you probably want to make sure you're getting the most bang (read: food) for your buck - and that, of course, will depend on where you're shopping. Trader Joe's, for one, is a grocery store beloved for its wide selection of frozen meals, slew of organic offerings, and ever-changing rotation of seasonal items that each seem to have their own cult following.

Walmart is hosting a month-long Lego sales event called Bricktember, and the promotion includes more than 15 exclusive Lego bundle deals. Some of Lego's most popular franchises are represented in the bundle offerings, including Star Wars, Spider-Man, Disney, Minecraft, Fortnite, and more. Each bundle features at least two building sets, and many of the products featured released over the last few months.

My family tends to do most of our back-to-school shopping online. It's fairly quick and painless, even if it's not always the most affordable option. However, as September rolled around this year, I was curious what I'd find in terms of value and selection if I shopped in person. So, I put two famous discount retailers, Walmart and Dollar Tree, to the test. For the sake of this story, I focused on buying everything my daughter entering second grade would need for the year.

Universally loved and endlessly customizable, pizza is often a staple meal to satisfy any cheesy or zesty cravings. No matter which way you slice it (pun intended), there's nothing like enjoying your favorite pizza. Even frozen ones can do the trick, whether you're on a time crunch or simply have a few options on hand. Most major grocery chains, such as Walmart, have a lower-priced store brand version of frozen pizza.

The moves were stronger in the bond market, where Treasury yields rose after a report forced Wall Street to scale back hopes that the Federal Reserve may soon deliver relief by cutting interest rates. The report suggested growth in U.S. business activity is accelerating and hit its fastest rate so far this year. That's good news for the economy, but the preliminary data from S&P Global also said tariffs helped push up average selling prices at the fastest rate in three years. That's a discouraging sign for inflation.

Great Value's Vanilla Bean ice cream flavor is not only plain, but its vanilla flavor tastes artificial, making the ice cream inedible for many.

Amazon is developing a super-center shopping experience that combines groceries and general merchandise, targeting consumers who currently shop at multiple retailers for their needs.

Baking is a science, like chemistry, and it's important to be precise. Thankfully, you can find exactly what you'll need at Walmart.

The S&P Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NOBL) may be trailing the market recently, but its 2.1% yield and diverse holdings make it appealing for conservative investors.
