Walmart / Simplemost

Walmart has stepped up its shopping game with great alternatives to popular expensive brands. We’ve done some digging at Walmart to find the best bargain deals, that allow you to shop the look for less.

From a convertible belt bag to comfy running shoes, there’s something for everyone on this list of Walmart alternatives, with smaller prices to match.

Ozark Trail Fanny Pack

Lululemon belt bag/Ozark Trail fanny pack

$48 at Lululemon $10 at Walmart

If you love the look of a Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag, but don’t want to pay $48, check out the Walmart Ozark Trail Waist Bag for a similar look. It comes in priced at just $10!

Both bags are made from sturdy and water-resistant polyester with ample zippered storage for your necessities and phone. Great for travel, the much less expensive Ozark bag begs to be taken on a hike with trail mix and a map. Whether wear a fanny pack around your waist or across your chest, you can put the other $40 inside when you choose this Walmart alternative.

Better Homes and Garden Antique Bronze Desk Lamp

Flynn Recycled Glass USB Table Lamp/Walmart Better Homes and Garden Lamp

$249 at Pottery Barn $34.97 at Walmart

Snag this alternative with the Walmart Better Homes and Garden Bronze Desk Lamp. The Walmart lamp price of $35 gives you the option to add some decorating style for much less than the Pottery Barn $249 price tag. Great for dorms or offices, both lamps feature antiqued surfaces, interesting shapes, and a charging or plug option in the base. You could buy a matching set of the Walmart version and still save.

Better Homes and Gardens Golden Velvet 100% Blackout Curtains

Better Homes and Gardens Golden Velvet 100% Blackout Curtains/Anthropologie Adelina Curtinas

$88 at Anthropologie $23 At Walmart

Window treatments can be expensive; picking options with a maximum impact that matches your decor is important. The Anthropologie Adelina Velvet Curtains run $88 to over $100 per panel and are definitely a statement piece. But the Better Homes and Garden Velvet Blackout curtains are a similar look for a much more affordable price. They include a lovely and very similar golden shade, and they’re blackout curtains which means a darker room for better sleep.

Heartland 15″ Waterproof Steel Shank Multi-Purpose Rubber Boot

Hunter Tall Boots/Heartland Water Boots

$185 At Zappos $25 at Walmart

The Hunter Original boots are a staple for walking in puddles, gardening in the rain, or just tucking into your jeans. However, at $180, your wallet might feel a little wet if you buy the more popular expensive version. Try this Walmart Heartland option that features a sturdy steel shank and rubber exterior for less than $25. That’s a lot of extra money puddles to jump in!

Hatch and Walmart have both created a fun floral version complete with ruffles and a swingy wrap front. However, The Anthropologie Hatch Floral Wrap Dress version runs nearly $290. The Walmart Sofia Jeans Faux Wrap has the same bright pattern for less a tenth of the price, at just $26. Plus, it is a faux wrap which can be easier to control in unexpected winds.

Ozark Trail 40 oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Tumbler

$45 at Stanley $15 at Walmart
