February has a sneaky way of flying by. One minute, you're resigned to one more month of winter, and the next, seasonal shelves are changing. If you've been putting off restocking or upgrading, now's the time. Walmart offers serious savings on everything from spring-weather must-haves to cleaning supplies, pantry staples, and small appliances.
Here are 15 timely Walmart shopping hacks you'll want to take advantage of before February ends.
Editor's note: Prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by location.
Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
Knorr Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Rice
Price: $1.24
Late winter is peak comfort-food season, and pantry staples like this quick-cook rice are an easy solution when you need something effortless and filling. It combines chicken flavor with broccoli and long-grain rice, and it's made without artificial flavors.
At $1.24 per 5.5-ounce pouch, it's an affordable buy that's easy to stock up on at $0.15 less than at Target.
Fantaslook Long Sleeve Dress
Price: $19
As spring approaches, winter apparel starts to clear out. A transitional piece like this long-sleeve midi dress lets you refresh your wardrobe for less.
With its flattering V-neckline, side pockets, and button detailing, it's perfect for layering with boots and a cardigan, and wearing on its own as spring temperatures rise.
Better Homes & Gardens Wire Storage Basket
Price: $17.97
Practical storage solutions are especially timely before spring cleaning kicks off. Featuring a wire frame and bamboo base, this storage basket blends function and style for pantries, open shelves, or kitchens.
It's more durable than metal-base storage baskets that sell for $25 at Target.
Plackers Micro Mint Dental Floss Kits
Price: $8.78
Buying hygiene essentials in bulk is always smart, but doing it at the end of February means being stocked for March and beyond. This 300-count pack features fresh mint-flavored, super-tough floss that won't shred and sells for $1.21 less than at CVS.
Mgaxyff Automatic Pet Feeder with Camera
Price: $48.99
If you're planning a short trip this March, consider this smart pet feeder, which includes a five-liter capacity, app-based scheduling, HD camera functionality, and voice/video recording. You can have peace of mind managing feeding times remotely.
That's not its only advantage. "No more getting up at 5 a.m. It's the best purchase I've made in a long while," explains reviewer Marsha.
Bounty Paper Towels
Price: $23.28
These paper towels come in a six-mega-roll pack with Select-A-Size sheets that let you tailor how much you use. They're the equivalent of 24 regular rolls, highly absorbent, and effective.
Buying them at Walmart before February ends saves you big. At CVS, six double rolls (roughly half) cost $20.49.
Great Value Chunk Light Tuna
Price: $3.84
If you're looking to balance your grocery budget before winter ends, buying pantry proteins like this shelf-stable tuna is always an affordable idea. Sold in a convenient five-ounce four-pack, it keeps you well-stocked for sandwiches and salads.
A similar four-pack of Chicken of the Sea tuna in water costs $4.69 at Target.
Barilla Classic Three Cheese Tortellini
Price: $51.50
As cold evenings linger into early March, pasta dishes are still very much in season. Buying an eight-pack helps streamline meals with cheese tortellini made with non-GMO ingredients.
Shoppers love these tortellini for everything from simple pasta dishes to pasta salad that "tastes good hot or cold."
Marketside Coho Salmon Skin on Fillet
Price: $9.86
Raised without antibiotics and flash-frozen for freshness, this one-pound Coho salmon filet is easy to portion for the freezer. The skin-on cut helps you lean into healthier meals ahead of spring by pan-searing or grilling.
It also helps you save by being $5.13 cheaper than the same amount of skin-on salmon at Target.

The Pioneer Woman Hattie Bamboo Bowl Set
Price: $16.94
Get this three-bowl set with lids to refresh your kitchen ahead of spring gatherings. Its simple design and playful colors make it versatile enough for meal prep and casual entertaining.
It's priced similarly to Target's three mini berry serving bowls, despite being useful for far more than fruit.
Mountain Sole Bower Wedges
Price: $39.99
Do your winter boots feel heavy? Try these ballet-inspired wedges, which are designed for comfort and everyday wear. The flexible style works well for transitional weather, and the mid heel adds a little height.
Reviewers find them an "all-season shoe for casual and formal events."
It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner Spray
Price: $18.96
This leave-in hair treatment is packed with nourishing ingredients like green tea leaf, which smooths, detangles, and helps protect against frizz and environmental stressors.
It's a solid add-on if you're refreshing your routine ahead of spring warming weather, and you can't get a better price even on Amazon, where it costs $21.
Ajax Ultra Triple Action Dishwashing Liquid
Price: $6.27
If you're getting ready for a spring deep clean, this large 90-ounce bottle delivers grease-cutting power with an orange scent for $0.02 less than Target's offering. Besides, its large format reduces the need for repeat purchases.
Wholly Guacamole Minis
Price: $5.43
Instead of buying whole avocados, which aren't cheap, try these six single-serve guacamole cups made with Hass avocados. They deliver the fresh taste you crave for tacos, wraps, or snacks.
Shoppers find them authentic and tasty. "I'm Hispanic and know a lot about making some fire guac. This brand is the first premade guacamole I love," writes an anonymous Walmart reviewer.
Hamilton Beach Food Processor
Price: $69.97
A new kitchen appliance is a great buy before spring schedules fill up. With this 10-cup food processor, you can streamline everything from sauces to shredded veggies.
It features a Stack & Snap assembly design and multiple functions for slicing, chopping, puréeing, and shredding, making it versatile during spring and summer.
Bottom line
As February winds down, some of these deals go with it. Whether you're stocking up on winter clearance, grabbing household essentials, or getting ahead on spring prep, acting now can help you save money on groceries, staples, and even small indulgences.
Since Walmart often marks down seasonal and overstock items differently by location, using store pickup can sometimes unlock additional availability, especially on clearance finds that sell quickly.
