When it comes to squeezing every ounce of enjoyment out of your summer, Walmart is a bustling hub of seasonal inspiration. There are affordable must-haves at every turn and plenty of opportunities to save big on the items you’d like to incorporate into your patio, garden and/or home. If you’re looking to make the most out of your summer décor or create the ideal atmosphere for entertaining family and friends (all while saving hundreds of dollars), take a moment to browse some of the Walmart offers mentioned below.
Only at Walmart will you find this clearance-marked Alexandria Crossing outdoor furniture set that offers four pieces: a sturdy glass-top table, spacious loveseat, and two chairs – all for a price that’s more than half off its original cost. Use this ensemble to liven up an empty backyard or patio. The seating for four is outfitted with red, UV-protected cushions. Accent toss pillows also accompany the loveseat and chairs for added comfort.
Walmart furniture sales allow you to maximize your dollars and purchase multiple items that help achieve desirable outdoor settings. Romantic, whimsical, relaxing, and providing vital shade from the sun, this eye-catching Gazebo Porch Swing Bed adds just the right touch of warmth and appeal to a patio or yard. It accommodates not one, not two, but three people comfortably. Sit upon the fade-resistant cotton cushions, get situated, and take in the relaxing breeze as you sway back and forth. Available in green and red, this swing serves as an excellent complement to the Alexandria Crossing set above.
Highly rated and racking up mega cool points as one of the best-selling kitchen appliances at Walmart, the Instant Pot is a versatile pressure cooker that’ll energize your next summer spread. Immediately transform into the kitchen wizard you want to be with the help of just one piece of equipment! It’s a slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, and yogurt maker all in one. Use it to warm, brown, sauté and pasteurize your food. Choose from a handful of pre-set programs to specifically concentrate on meals that involve meat, stew, chili, beans, poultry, and soup.
This summer, become the envy of your neighbors when you install a spacious swimming pool in your backyard. The 20′ x 12′ 48″ Summer Waves Above Ground Swimming Pool has an oval frame, and provides plenty of space for multiple adults and children to swim about. Assembly is quick and easy, eliminating the headaches that usually come with complicated set ups. Complete with filter pump system and deluxe accessory set (cover, ladder, ground cloth, and maintenance kit), this pool will certainly help your holiday- and family get-togethers reach a whole new level of fun.
Central air not an option in your home? Wall unit on the fritz? There’s no need to suffer on a boiling hot, summer day when you can have 10,000 BTU’s of cooling power at your fingertips. Global Air helps beat the heat by providing instant relief and relaxation with their 3-in-1 air conditioner, humidifier and fan. The fact that this remote-controlled unit can be moved to any part of your home really makes it a winner! Simply roll into a room to cool up to 300 square feet of space, or partially cool up to 400 square feet. And, with a Walmart coupon on hand, you can attain this level of summertime comfortability for even less.
One of the most underrated home décor finishing touches to an outdoor space is probably lighting. It doesn’t necessarily have to be fancy or elaborate, but just enough to offer adequate illumination that extends an evening filled with fun when darkness sets in. Besides creating a magical summer garden mood or quiet reading nook on the patio, this 10-count string of stars is just one of the discounted light set styles from Better Homes & Gardens that are on sale at Walmart.
When you’re craving the taste of barbecued deliciousness, satisfy it by making your own with the help of this pellet-powered Pit Boss Grill. Equipped with much more than a flame broiler, this option represents one of many units offering impressive Walmart savings for summer grilling. But, keep in mind that this one is no ordinary grill. You’ll have the capabilities of an 8-in-1 BBQ workhorse on your side that’ll smoke, bake, roast, sear, braise, barbecue and char-grill your steaks, burgers and chicken all year long.
Sometimes, you just need to sit in front of a fan and let the refreshing breeze keep you cool and comfortable throughout the day. An oscillating tower fan can make all the difference between an uncomfortable, sweat-filled night and enjoying a restful slumber. Not only will you save your shuteye, but also space, energy and money with the Best Choice Products Standing Floor Tower Fan. It’s lightweight, ultra-portable, quiet, and effectively cools a room with the power of 3-speed oscillation. The easy-touch remote offers three modes (Normal, Nature, and Sleep), and includes an energy-saving timer feature.
If you’d like to trade in sweet treats for healthier, everyday tweaks this season, consider the Ninja line of home goods. These products are pretty popular, which include the Fit Blender. This compact unit is equipped with pulse technology, and delivers 700 watts of power that thoroughly crushes ice and prepares frozen fruit for refreshing smoothies and cold drinks. This summer, try turning whole fruits and veggies into nutrient-rich beverages, or entertaining with flavorful low-cal Pina Coladas and daiquiris at your next BBQ.

This post is authored by Raquel Romero, Giving Assistant’s People & Business Operations Manager, and mother of our Chief Belly Rub Officer, Ziggy.
Every 3 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with blood cancer.
This sobering statistic is what drives the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. I got involved with LLS this spring, when my best friend, Lucy Loveless, was nominated for their New York City Woman of the Year.
The Man & Woman of the Year campaign is an intense 10-week fundraising competition conducted by LLS across its chapters nationwide. The man and woman who bring in the highest amount in donations are awarded the prestigious titles. The competition is fierce, so each dedicated candidate assembles a team of friends and family in order to expand their network and earning ability.
Lucy and I met as freshmen at New York University and have been close ever since, but the highlight of our friendship (so far) came in the fall of 2012 when we quit our jobs and moved to Paris. Traveling all over Europe, we cracked ourselves up constantly and took about a million photos for our hashtag #rockelandlucyinparis. But most importantly, we supported each other, kept each other safe, and somehow managed to remain friends while spending almost every waking moment together for nearly four straight months!
LLS’ Man & Woman of the Year campaign harnesses the power of friendships like ours for the benefit of their very worthy cause. Their mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. They’ve invested over $1.2 billion toward this goal since they started in 1949, and the returns have been priceless:
- In the past 18 months, five new therapies for acute myeloid leukemia received approval from the Food & Drug Administration, after 40 years of no change in the standard of care for patients suffering from the disease.
- There is now an oral-based, chemotherapy-free therapy available for the most common form of leukemia in adults, chronic lymphocytic lymphoma, along with small lymphocytic lymphoma.
- Since LLS’ inception, survival rates for many types of blood cancer have as much as quadrupled, and certain blood cancers have been cured altogether.
- Many therapies first approved for blood cancers are now helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases.
It was an easy cause to get behind, and Lucy found 18 additional friends who agreed with me. Together we comprised Team Carpe Diem, a diverse group from all over the country with varying skills and connections that made for an inspiring campaign:
- We hit the ground running—all 20 members of Team Carpe Diem reached out to their networks and pulled in $20,000 in the first 3 weeks!
- We had an amazing workout event at CITYROW in New York, raising $2,200 for the cause.
- We competed in an intense “50 States Challenge,” garnering donations from each of the 50 states (yes, even Hawaii and Alaska) over the course of 3 days!
- We hosted a fabulous Paint-Your-Own-Pottery event in Los Angeles, raising $2,750 in one night.
- We gathered dozens of in-kind donations for auction and raffle items including:
- Goodies from Goop, Sole Society, and CamelBak, to name a few
- VIP tickets to the Late Show with Stephen Colbert
- 5th row seats for a Red Sox/Yankees game at Fenway Park
- Overnight accommodations in Park City, Nashville, Northern Michigan, and the Hamptons
It was a busy 10 weeks, to say the least. Lucy sent so many emails that Gmail flagged her as spam and our team text message thread probably broke a few records.
But in the end, it was all worth it. At the Grand Finale Gala in NYC on June 15th, totals were tallied and Lucy had raised an astounding $151,952 for research and the fight against blood cancer.
Oh, and she WON the title of Woman of the Year!
I am beyond proud of Lucy, but I’m proud of myself too! In partnership with my friend, Christine, I was able to raise $6,427 in just 10 weeks, with more than 10% coming from online shopping through Giving Assistant.
To put Giving Assistant’s contribution into perspective: the NYC Man & Woman of the Year Campaign raised over $1.1 million for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Imagine a 10% increase with online shoppers’ cash back donations. That’s an extra $117,000 to fund the fight against blood cancer.
As peer-to-peer fundraising (like Lucy’s campaign) grows in popularity, Giving Assistant recognizes the important role it will play in furthering our mission to transform everyday shopping into charitable giving. It’s never easy to ask your friends for money, but asking them to donate some of their cash back earnings from online purchases? That’s actually not so hard!
Since 2014, Giving Assistant shoppers have been supporting nonprofits by donating their cash back, with many donations amounting to no more than a few cents. Yet together, they’ve raised more than $4 million for good causes, visibly impacting thousands upon thousands of real lives all over the world.
Taking part in this campaign, and working at Giving Assistant, has taught me that everyone has something of value to offer, no matter how big or small. Our team’s donations ranged from thousands of dollars, to dinners for two, to backpacks, to water bottles, to just 8 cents of cash back.
But it all added up! Not only did Lucy win the Woman of the Year title, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society received over $150,000 in critical funds towards research. And, as we were reminded throughout the 10-week campaign: everyone wins when cancer loses.
To learn more about peer-to-peer fundraising, please contact hello@givingassistant.org. To start earning cash back in your everyday online shopping and giving a portion of it to your favorite nonprofit, sign up for Giving Assistant. To help those battling blood cancer, choose Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as your nonprofit of choice through your account settings.

Temperatures are rising. School’s out. Longer, sun-filled days are calling your name. It’s inevitable that the itch to get out there and enjoy yourself more grows stronger. Summer fun is found at every turn, but admission prices, tickets, and activities can really add up. If you’re looking to make the most of this season (and save money on your next adventure), we suggest taking advantage of a few Groupon Deals this summer. Looking for inspiration? Check out the following:
Warmer weather presents the perfect conditions for getting active, indulging in outdoor recreation, and enjoying your favorite sports. From skate parks to skydiving, Groupon makes it easier to fuel your adventurous self with endless pursuits that include whitewater rafting, archery lessons, kayak rentals, and zipline courses.
- Hop on a boat (that you rent and steer yourself), or let someone else do all the work with a tour of local waters.
- Seeking some serious tee time or in need of weekend fun with the kids? Hit the greens for less…or get silly with a game of miniature golf.
- Treat someone with NASCAR dreams to a ride-along or a few of their own laps with a Groupon for an exotic, sports car experience.
The heat of summer sends people looking for an escape from the rising temperatures and uncomfortable stickiness of sweat. What better way to cool off on an 80-degree day than heading to a retreat dedicated to all things water? That’s when Groupon waterpark deals really come in handy. They provide access to refreshing waterslides, wave pools, log rides, bumper boats, hot tubs, and adult-only Jacuzzis – with discounts available at both outdoor and indoor waterparks.
When it comes to unforgettable summer experiences, Groupon has you covered with opportunities that’ll make the most out of your vacation time. Choose from excursions that range from a two-hour romantic rendezvous to weekend resort getaways to multi-day family vacations. Cruises are a popular travel option, whether you’re drifting towards a stunning sunset or taking a longer jaunt to a more tropical locale, like the Bahamas. Along the way, you may take scuba lessons, snorkel with sea turtles, or sink your toes into the sands surrounding a beachfront hotel you booked through Groupon.
The roar of roller coasters and excited screams plus the sweetness of cotton candy and ice cream equals a day of fun for everyone. Complete your summer with a ride on a Ferris wheel. Try your luck with a midway game, and come home with a stuffed animal prize. Groupon offers discounted tickets (and other deals) to amusement and theme parks, such as LEGOLAND, Six Flags, SeaWorld, Darien Lake, Walt Disney World and Universal Studios.
The best place to find the most summer deals in one place is Groupon. So much so…you can dream up a bucket list for the season, and indulge in fresh adventures on a regular basis. Give yourself (and your family) something to really look forward to.
Use a Groupon Coupon to create ever-lasting, childhood memories. There are plenty of kids activities to add to your list of things to do that include indoor trampoline parks, laser tag, paintball, go-karts, zoos, botanic gardens, museums, and even summer camps.
And, when the sun sets, adults can let loose with endless nightlife experiences. Laugh until you cry at a comedy club. Get your culture on at a playhouse, or take date night to a new level of creativity with paint-and-sip get-togethers held at local bars and restaurants. You’ll even find discounted general admission tickets to some of the most sought-after food-, drink- and music festivals in town.
By now, you should know Groupon is one of the first places to check for saving money on summer experiences, but did you know it can also help you prepare for your next adventure? Groupon Goods is well-stocked with everything you need to live it up this summer.

Reach new career heights, and level up your ability to help others become their best self. Empower individuals with tools for leading a healthier lifestyle. Zero in on improving the quality of life of those in need. Does any of this sound like something you’d like to do? Giving Assistant joins forces with many not-for-profit organizations that enact positive change, but when it comes to our partnership with ACE Fitness, there’s a bit of uniqueness we’d like to highlight.
The American Council on Exercise wears two special hats: one that reflects the passion of a nonprofit on a mission to spread health awareness and make physical activity available to the greater public. The second represents a brand you can shop that offers the type of essentials that not only better the lives of others but as well as yourself. When you use an ACE Fitness coupon from Giving Assistant, you’ll earn incentives and save money on ACE products and resources. Your purchases can also help further a good cause and a much greater objective.
ACE Fitness is a powerhouse when it comes to the education, certification and support of professionals in the health and fitness industry. In over 30 years of existence, the American Council on Exercise has become the largest nonprofit of its kind with tens of thousands of life-changing professionals having completed one of four training study programs.
ACE provides a path to NCAA-credited certification which allows health and fitness pros to:
- deliver customized, one-on-one attention to clients seeking to reach optimal function and performance (as a Personal Trainer)
- help keep preventable diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle at bay and encourage people to make healthier lifestyle choices (as a Health Coach)
- cast a wider net that gets more people moving in the right direction all at the same time, like leading weekly CrossFit, Pilates, cycling, yoga, or Zumba classes at indoor facilities (as a Group Fitness Instructor
- provide vital treatment to those looking to overcome chronic disease and injury (as a Medical Exercise Specialist).
And, good news! To make the next step in your educational journey a little easier to accomplish, Giving Assistant offers a variety of ACE Fitness promo codes that’ll help you save money on certification, training materials, and study bundles on the above programs.
In addition to outfitting health and exercise professionals with accredited certification, ACE also partners with numerous local and national organizations to give back to the community.
A Win-Win-Win Situation for All Involved
With headquarters in Southern California’s San Fernando Valley, 3 WINS Fitness is an outstanding example of the kind of nonprofit that ACE partners with. Both nonprofits work towards increasing community access to activities and opportunities that advance the physical health for all age groups and levels of fitness.
In an effort to amplify the connection between kinesiology (the study of movement regarding the human body) and public health, 3 WINS Fitness grew from the vision of a handful of California State University Northridge students and a professor within the field that established a free community fitness program at a low-resource neighborhood park. Success! The response led to a much larger measure to connect future generations of health and fitness professionals to those in need of a realistically, attainable workout (and in some cases, life-saving opportunity that wouldn’t otherwise be available).
So far, ACE has lent a hand to the education and advancement of roughly 100 kinesiology students, who help manage numerous 3 WINS Fitness sites across California, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. Hundreds of locals in all shapes, sizes and ages sweat it out at weekly fitness classes – from curious couch potatoes having no routine exercise experience to newly inducted retirees trying to tame chronic diseases, like high blood pressure and diabetes.
What makes 3 WINS Fitness a glowing success is the trifecta of benefits associated with their free community programs…truly a win-win-win situation. For starters, kinesiology students and volunteers receive class credit and invaluable, hands-on, job-related experience that far exceeds the basic strengthening of leadership and business skills. Secondly, participants gain access to free fitness classes. And, as a result, the overall community becomes stronger and healthier as residents get up and moving, transforming into more active members of society.
The ACE Fitness and 3 Wins Fitness partnership proves physical fitness that motivates and changes lives doesn’t have to feel like a luxury…or uncomfortable visit to a crowded fitness center. You don’t need a fancy gym membership (and when options for physical exercise are running low), there’s always an option – like taking advantage of a session with 3 Wins Fitness.
In addition to providing the public with essential information, instruction, advice and online tools that accommodate all fitness levels, ACE also sells products that make it easier for you to achieve your personal fitness and health goals. You’ll find ACE Fitness coupon codes on Giving Assistant that’ll come in handy the next time you need books, DVDs or fitness equipment, like a stability ball, FlexBands, or an ACE FitKit.
Lastly, make sure you’ve downloaded our Giving Assistant Button, so you can keep up with the latest American Council on Exercise promo codes. We’ll keep you updated on the different ways you can save money as you work towards improving your career, health or overall wellbeing.
