Walmart is counting down the days until the holidays, with new sale items every day.
Walmart
Once stores get Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales under their belts, they immediately shift gears to holiday sales. Hence we’re already in the midst of Amazon’s 12 Days of Deals, Best Buy’s 20 Days of Doorbusters and Walmart’s 20 Days of Deals, to name just a few.
So what’s good? I’m here to tell you. No, literally: I’ll be here every day until the calendar strikes Dec. 25 to give you updates on these and other sales and to highlight the ones that are really worth your time.

Amazon is also still offering a third-gen Echo Dot for $29.99, down from its regular retail price of $49.99. That’s very close to Amazon’s Black Friday pricing.

Galaxy S9, S9+ for $300 to $450 off
Josh Miller/CNET
The Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are getting a steep discount at Best Buy on Sunday, but the terms vary based on the carrier you want. A $450 discount is available for activating the phone on Sprint in the form of 24 months of bill credits, and a $300 discount is available on Verizon in the same way. The caveat with these is that you only get the full savings by sticking with the carrier for the full period, much like the two-year contracts of the past.
