BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Walmart is kicking off spring like never before with its largest outdoor living, lawn and garden event of the year, featuring Black Friday-like prices. Starting at 8 a.m. on Friday, March 21, through March 29, Walmart’s Spring Savings Event will offer its lowest prices of the season on more than 60 outdoor essentials.
With nearly twice as many locations compared to the leading home improvement store, Walmart’s Spring Savings Event will include $1.97 per bag red, black or brown mulch as well as brand-name lawn mowers and grills for less from Murray, Snapper, Weber, Char-Broil and more. In fact, Walmart has the largest selection of lawn mowers and grills under $200, the most popular price range for these items.
“Nobody does Black Friday better than Walmart, and we’re bringing that same philosophy to our new outdoor living, lawn and garden event by offering incredibly low prices on the products our customers are looking for,” said Michelle Gloeckler, senior vice president of home, Walmart U.S. “Given the extreme winter many of our customers experienced, we know they are preparing to restore their gardens and outdoor living spaces. This event will help them save money while they transition into the new season.”
Highlights from Walmart’s Spring Savings Event feature everything from Miracle-Gro soil and Roundup weed killer to Black & Decker tools, ColorPlace interior and exterior paint and Westinghouse lighting. Top deals include:
