October is a month associated with bowls of candy and pillowy piles of leaves begging to be leapt into. With the trees beginning to take a more gnarled form and temperatures dropping, all eyes now turn to the coming holiday season. Major retailers around the country are no exception to this seasonal zeitgeist, with many holding major sales priming consumers for holiday spending. Walmart, in particular, is one of the national powerhouses dishing out early savings, announcing extensive price cuts in early October.

Leveraging sales can be a particularly good way to save money without sacrificing your quality of life. In a September Walmart press release, the company outlined that its deals would focus on reducing prices on a variety of goods. While the company's almost week-long Walmart Deals promotion — which included everything from food to flat-screen TVs – officially ended on October 12, shoppers will be happy to know there are still some savings hanging around in October, with some reaching upwards of 84% off. Additionally, while there is some debate on whether Walmart is truly the most cost effective retailer, these deals will be hard to match. Whether you are looking for reduced price gifts for the holidays or a statement piece for your kitchen during Thanksgiving, Walmart's October deals can inject a little luxury into your life.

Nothing says luxury like gold accents, and Walmart's Cate and Chloe Products are no exception. The brand has a well chronicled history of making stylish and affordable jewelry for women and fall savings can make their gold-plated and moissanite products even more accessible. Some Cate and Chloe products that stand out as a great addition to a jewelry drawer are its earrings and tennis bracelets – on sale for just $17.99 and $24.99, respectively. The brand's hoop earrings come in 18K yellow, white, and rose gold platings and are set with Swarovski Crystals. These offer a highly customizable and eloquent option that would usually run $115.00. 

For a more over the top option as a daily accessory, the brand's tennis bracelet comes in the same configurations as the hoop earrings while having inset simulated diamond crystals. The bracelet is on sale for a staggering $100 off its standard price of $125. With hypoallergenic materials, Cate and Chloe accessories are some of the steepest deals currently running. Even with the low price, the brand can act as a classy accent to your fall look.

Thanksgiving dinner can be deceptively expensive, with a 15-pound turkey costing just around $40 on average nationally in 2024, per FinanceBuzz. This is only the start of the expenses if you are the one hosting this year's annual holiday gathering, particularly if your cookware selection is limited. With that being said, all is not lost as Walmart's October sale includes plenty of kitchenware to help accommodate loads of mashed potatoes, macaroni, and stuffing.

With sales on Carote, Astercook, and Cook N Home, there are plenty of options and price ranges for those looking to upgrade their cooking setup into something more luxurious. All of the items in this sales category are non-stick, meaning they will be great for holiday recipes where you are constantly sautéing and deglazing. For those looking for a full set upgrade, Astercook's 20-piece pot and pan set for $67.99 can be a great choice. These sets are available in both black and white and also come with a unique nesting design to eliminate the avalanche of lids and pods that can overwhelm your cupboards. Regardless of your specific preferences, Walmart has made an effort to prioritize sales on kitchenware going into the holidays, with many cooking brands on sale.

Some say health is wealth, but not everyone can afford to visit a top-rated hotel and spa to relax and unwind. Instead, you may want to opt to bring the relaxation of the Caribbean to your home while saving some money. While no one brand has extensive sales in this regard, Walmart is offering comprehensive price reductions on a range of items that can help you form quite the at-home setup. This October, making use of deals on Neutrogena face scrubs and other facial cleansers. While the savings on the scrub, in particular, is only $5, it can still be a great start a home spa experience or even just try something new. Similarly, the relatively low cost of most scrubs makes them a great addition to a party favor.  

You can also this one step further by taking home a RENPHO Eye Massager for just $55.99, compared to its usual $113.99. The RENPHO can be an ideal choice for those looking for add a more luxurious splurge to their bathroom routine. The product can provide heat over your eyes across multiple different ranges, as well as Bluetooth connection to transport you far away from the winter blues. Regardless of your budget, finding ways to inject some relaxation and self-care into your holidays is important.

Gathering with family or cozying up around the fire can only be made better by adding a touch of ambiance. While it may not be the time to install a whole home surround sound system, discounts on wireless speakers at Walmart can mirror the luxury that a full setup brings. A notable deal is on the Beats by Dr. Dre Pill, a waterproof speaker that has become a hallmark of the wildly successful brand. The Pill is currently marked down $20 and offers 24 hours of battery life while being compatible with both Apple and Android devices. The sleek and modern design of the speaker is also tilted upward, allowing it to project farther, making it ideal for blaring the Christmas carols that will soon be appropriate for the season. 

A more compact and cost effective option is the JBL Clip Five. Available in a range of colors and on sale for $59.95, the flat speaker is built with outdoor enthusiasts in mind. Light and considered quite reliable, the speaker is ideal for those looking to grill outside or picnic during the fall.

By far one of the most extensive deals Walmart is leveraging this October is on fall clothing. In fact, the company even made a point of highlighting the importance of affordable fashion for their customers, which they have achieved by marking down fall essentials that are perfect for apple picking on unexpectedly cold days. During the month, Walmart has discounted flannels for both men and women for around $18. For women, brands like Fantaslook offer oversized flannels in multiple patterns that can act as a blouse or as a base for a layered outfit. The brand does not make men's flannels, so those hoping to save on a matching couples set may be missing out, while Almens and Gentelemens do offer patterns with similar colors.

Other finds include Dokotoo sweater vests designed to pair well with a blouse and jeans. This knitted sweater is $20 off and comes in multiple neutral and fall tones to work with blouses like those from Fantaslook. Additionally, the design is machine washable and made of polyester, allowing for a more durable sweater while still keeping you warm.
