Price: $28.99 (on sale from $59.99)
There's nothing more magical than a patio surrounded by the twinkle of bistro lights in the evening, but who wants to spend an arm and a leg on those little bulbs?
Walmart has 100-foot strings of outdoor bistro lights on sale for under $30, while you'll pay double that for just 25 feet of bistro lights at Williams-Sonoma.
Shopper Carolyn echoes that sentiment: "They went up easily and stay where you put them. The clips are good quality. We have had several storms come through and all lights are still working. Also, the price was lower than other brands."

Price: $16.99
Isn't it lovely to hear the sound of wind chimes in your backyard? It's even more lovely when you haven't paid over $100 for them. While Shenandoah Melodies has a set of 35-inch chimes that will run you $104.98, Walmart's cost is below $17 for theirs, which measures 32 inches.
Shopper Gerry says, "This was a gift. However, the person loved it. She even sent a video of it "making music" in her backyard. She thanked us about 3 times, so I'm sure it was a hit. She really liked the sound."
Citronella Candles

Price: $27.57
Sure, you could pay $72 for a set of two citronella candles at Williams-Sonoma, but why would you want to when you can save at Walmart?
Instead, you'll get two candles in rustic aluminum pails for just under $28 when you shop at Walmart. They'll last up to 200 hours, giving you many evenings of mosquito-free enjoyment on the deck.

Price: $44.05
An outdoor rug can make a patio or deck feel like it's an actual living space that's an extension of your own home. And Walmart lets you do that affordably with this Nicole Miller rug that's under $50 for a 5'2 by 7'2 inches size.
At Target, for a similarly sized indoor/outdoor rug, you'll pay $95.99. Shopper MomOfTriplets gave it a ringing endorsement: "The color is so beautiful and light and airy! It has completely opened up the feel of my patio! Absolutely love it and the smaller ones I put at each door."
