Walmart is sometimes underrated when it comes to supplying plenty of great summer finds, but this year, customers are convinced it’s doing better than other retailers.
The department store chain recently rolled out some new items that are perfect for a fun-filled summer; from tote bags to folding chairs for camping, there is something for everyone and any type of summer activity. Trying to go to the beach? Want to hit up a music festival? You are likely to find everything you need for these adventures at Walmart.
Some customers are especially pleased with the products being rolled out this year.
“Target should definitely be worried,” said lifestyle content creator Kate Vining in her recent Walmart home decor YouTube video.
“What if I told you Walmart has better and more affordable home decor these days than Target?” she asked. “Walmart has been continuously stepping it up.”
If you’re ready to find some affordable products that can help make your summer extra fun and easygoing, check out a few of Walmart’s new items below.

Printed Picnic Blankets
There are few things better than a relaxing summer picnic, where you lay out on a blanket, enjoy some tasty food, and chill in the sunny weather. However, it can be really annoying when you bring a blanket that's too small to fit everyone or is difficult to wash when it gets dirty on the ground.
Luckily, Walmart's Better Homes & Gardens Brand is selling pretty, printed picnic blankets. At $19.97, these blankets are big enough for several people and are machine washable, water repellent, and lightweight, making them extra convenient for an outdoor picnic.
40-Ounce Stainless Steel Tumbler
Insulated water bottles and tumblers are all the rage, with popular name brands selling them for over $50. However, buying an expensive one can be a bit risky for summer adventures, as you don't want to ruin or lose it while having fun.
Walmart is currently selling a brand of 40-ounce insulated tumblers from Ozark Trail that customers love. They come in various festive or muted colors and keep your beverages cold on a hot summer day.
On TikTok, consumers are writing that the stainless steel tumblers are "so good" and are being sold for only $14.97.
Plastic Laundry Flex Tote Bag
Walmart fans are super excited about this item, as they say it's a 'dupe' of a Bogg Bag tote, which is sold for upwards of $100. The Mainstays version is very similar and is being sold for just $19.94.
Besides looking colorful and trendy, these plastic tote bags are wonderful for a beach day when you're going to be hanging out in the sand. They have small holes in them that can help you shake out any excess sand and debris and won't get stained due to their plastic material.
Interestingly, the totes were designed to carry laundry, but customers have found them perfect for more adventurous summer days. It can hold up to 40 pounds, so go ahead and fill it with bathing suits, sunscreen, magazines, and more.
Women's Linen Wide Leg Pants
Looking for an easy pair of bottoms you can slip into for any occasion this summer? Walmart's got you covered with their Scoop linen pants that come in six impressive colors, including a light baby blue and bright fuchsia color.
The pants are being sold for $30 and are great for dressing up or down. If you're looking for a beach cover-up, these would work and allow for a breezy feel, or you could throw them on before a lovely summer dinner. The opportunities are endless, and it'll be hard not to want to buy them in several colors.
Padded Outdoor Camping Chair
Have you ever had that 'struggle' moment where you're trying to relax outdoors by sitting in a big, foldable chair, but it's super uncomfortable? Having a folding chair handy is excellent for all sorts of summer events, but it can feel somewhat stiff and hard on your back over time.
Fortunately, Walmart has a solution: a super comfortable-looking padded foldable camping chair. The chair, which is priced at $59.99, is meant to be carried around and long-lasting. It's made of durable, padded material that provides extra cushion for a much more enjoyable experience. Bring one to your next campsite visit or a music festival, and get ready to chill.
