The post-holiday stress sometimes gets to us, but we found some specials that will make you smile. Many retailers offer terrific discounts on products that you want in your home. Walmart is the home of rollback prices, and we found plenty this month. However, act quickly because we don’t know how long these deals last.
If you’re really on top of things, you might be able to find a couple of after-Christmas sale items. Your pets won’t care that it’s Christmas-themed, but they’ll love a new toy. A really great find might be cause for purchasing several to put away for the next few weeks or months.

Best Pet Product: Wisdom Panel Pet DNA Test – Save 25%
- A DNA test for dogs.
- Offers an overview of your dog's ancestry.
- Can also provide insight into potential health conditions, based on DNA.
- Also available for cats (linked below).
Wisdom Panel DNA tests are widely available and far more affordable than only a few years ago. Companies collect genetic information on thousands of dogs and cats to produce these, and often update the information on your pet’s profile. It’s interesting to see just what’s in your pet’s ancestry. After all, it’s not like they can tell us about their parentage, and for rescues it can be helpful for medical questions.
Some of the tests provide a basic overview of your pet’s genetic ancestry plus a few health traits. However, the more expensive ”Complete” tests offer a much more thorough analysis that can include information on over 200 genetic health conditions.
Of course, DNA tests are only a small portion of what makes our furry family members tick, but they are fun! With Wisdom Panel, you can create an online profile that can connect you with their relatives. Wisdom Panel Pet DNA Tests are our pick for the best overall pet product this month.

We love that it looks more like furniture than your average pet bed, and the folding design allows some flexibility for setting things up. The PawHut Pet Sofa gets our vote for the best dog product deal in January.

How to Save Money at Walmart
If you’re really trying to save money, checking their website regularly is more effective. Prices change frequently, and their specials often change without warning.
Walmart advertises price rollbacks in almost every department. Using Walmart.com’s filters, you can select only clearance items, those with reduced prices, and rollbacks. It makes finding the deals much easier because you don’t have to sift through as many pages of products. Additionally, you’ll find specific clearance racks in the store.
