Walmart deals of the hour

only hours after Amazon teased a few of its major deals prior to the kickoff of the "Prime Day, " Walmart previewed a number of its own deep discounts to CNNMoney.

The 24-hour sale-a-thon is set to begin at 12:01am PT on Wednesday.

Amazon's special savings day on Wednesday would be to commemorate their twentieth anniversary and it is being marketed as having "more deals than Black Friday."

After Amazon revealed its plans a week ago, Walmart jumped in with a sales day of its own on a single time which will be filled up with exactly what it calls "atomic specials" and several thousand deals.

A few of the Amazon discounts disclosed Tuesday consist of a 40-inch television for $115, cost savings as much as 70 percent over the top cooking area brands, an Amazon Fire HD 7 tablet for $60 off (frequently retails for $139), over 50% off two Nikon COOLPIX cameras, and an iRobot Roomba Pet Vacuum cleansing Robot for less than $300, for a cost savings of at least $99 and perhaps much more depending on the design.

Walmart's deals included an ipad by apple Mini 2 for $265 (for a cost savings of $164), an Ebony and Decker Drill and 133 piece Residence venture Kit for $50 (usually retails for $80), and a Toshiba 15.6" Satellite laptop for $377 (consumers conserve $253).

The Amazon product sales can be obtained only to its Prime members but Amazon (, Tech30) is providing the account, normally $99 per year, free of charge as a 30-day test.

Shoppers are aware of enticements particularly "Lightning Discounts" and "Deals associated with Day" throughout Wednesday and certainly will get no-cost and limitless two-day delivery.

Prime Day will allow people the opportunity to win from $1, 000 to $25, 000 in Amazon gift cards and passes and a visit to the season two premiere of Transparent, an Amazon initial program.

And announcing a unique sale, Walmart criticized Amazon for only starting the purchase to Amazon Prime members. Amazon shot straight back, questioning the reasoning of retailers which make prices less expensive for online versus in-store buyers.
