Walmart Deals is coming soon, but until then, the retailer is offering discounts across categories like skin care, tech and appliances leading up to the sale’s start on June 22.

I frequently cover shopping events like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a reporter for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. Below, I rounded up the best Walmart deals, all of which are highly rated and at least 20 percent off. I’ll frequently update this list leading up to Walmart’s event.
