Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Target and Amazon had them for the $28.79 price tag and sold out within hours Sunday morning.
I'm hoping Walmart will price match at some point.
it's still that price for Target in store. My local store had several even though the web site said sold out and didn't show any store inventory in my area.

I saw that, but you can't do order pickup with it. It would cost me more than $4-$5 to get to one and at that point might as well but it for $35 and have Walmart ship it to me.
Seems like year to year these are 25 to 35 regardless of I flation/ supply chain issues. I remeber hearing a while back $4.95 per ( actual ) person was pretty good price. Seems like with advent calander they have a lot of ' furniutre'type items sprinkled in. Anyway....
But I decided to order the calendars from Walmart because was thinking of getting something else that I've been meaning to for a while but didn't want to pay shipping. And the prices were the same everywhere else and I liked how Walmart packaged the boxes. Amazon sometimes puts labels on the boxes for whatever reason. And figured that it'd be easy to return if I found a better price later on.
On the one hand I was kind of surprised to get the items the same day.
On the other I was also surprised that the items didn't come in a shipping box and was just the individual items left sitting on my doorstep out in the open. They also had some labels on each box but they were easy to peel off. And no packing slips or anything. It came later in the night and I just happened to be by my phone when I got the item arrival notification. Or else it probably would've been out on my doorstep all night. I'm guessing that they use a doordash type of service.
I'm not sure if this is the new way that Walmart ships things, where I think it might've been a while since I last ordered from them. And I was a little bit concerned that another shipment that I ordered from them with more expensive things will be shipped the same way, especially because it's supposed to rain later this week. But I just got a Fedex shipping from them. So am hoping that the items will come packaged in a box as expected.
But just like how I decided to order from Walmart this time around because in the past they used to do a great job in packing things, I doubt I'll order from them again if this is how they're shipping their packages now.
edit-I literally just got another shipment from Walmart after I posted the above. It was kind of similar where I got a shipping notification email and then another message like fifteen minutes later saying it was delivered. But at least this time the items were wrapped in a Walmart bag and had a similar Ambient sticker label that they put on the Lego boxes. Not sure if the way they shipped the lego calendars was a one off.

Thank you for mentioning this because I've ordered several times from Walmart in the past few months and I too have experienced similar issues. I don't have Walmart+.
They do appear to be using local delivery people to deliver some items directly from a Walmart store, and they usually take a picture of the items once delivered. This comes in handy because I had items delivered to another person's door, which was shown in the pic they sent. They refunded me, but this was for some low-price items.
It can be helpful if you need something right away and it comes from the store. I once placed an order for shampoo with just regular shipping and the items got delivered to my door 2 hours later!
But it's random and you have no way to know what items are being delivered from the store until they send out the email saying an item was shipped.
This can cause problems if you're not going to be home, though.
I placed an order when out of town last New Year's weekend when a Lego set was on sale, and selected regular shipping which said it would be 2 days. It turns out they shipped it on New Year's Eve from the store to my home and I had to scramble to call a friend at the last minute to go get it from my door. And I believe it was also shipped without a box, just a large $100 Lego set left at the door of my apartment on New Year's Eve, not so good.
Long story short, if you get a shipping email from Walmart, check the tracking info right away just in case it's store delivery. I've ordered several things in the last week and they were all Fedex shipments.
