Should I buy holiday deals at Walmart or Amazon Prime Day?
Both events started on the same day and although Amazon Prime Day is officially over, you can still find some extended deals.

Although Walmart price-matches in-store items to match Walmart.com prices on identical items sold through Walmart.com—and not by third-party vendors who sell through Walmart's marketplace—on normal days, the retailer's price matching policy pricing Walmart explicitly states that it will not match online prices for in-store items during special events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Rollback/Clearance.
However, many deals in Walmart's Holiday Deals event are also available on Amazon, even after Prime Day ends.
