8 Biggest Deals at Walmart in October

October is here, meaning fall is officially in full swing. From planning for the season’s holidays to winter-prep yard work, you have a lot going on — but Walmart has you covered.

The discount retailer has seriously low prices on many October items likely on your shopping list. In fact, prices are so low, you might even be able to move a few items from your wish list to your cart.

Of course, you can get everything you need for Halloween and beyond for a fraction of that price by shopping at Walmart. Prepare to be amazed at some of the low prices offered on everything from costumes to seasonal candles.
