Walmart's Labor Day sale kicked off earlier this week, and it's currently selling consoles and accessories for cheaper than anywhere else. Specifically, if you're looking to buy a Switch Lite during the Labor Day sale, Walmart's sale is currently the cheapest price we've found ahead of the long weekend.
While none of the bundles are currently discounted, there are multiple versions of the Switch Lite available that have been marked down to fairly affordable prices, with the turquoise and grey consoles being the cheapest options available at just $165 each.

If you're new to the Nintendo Switch ecosystem, the Switch Lite is a great, cheaper option, although it has some limitations compared to the standard dockable and OLED versions. We reviewed the Switch Lite back in 2019 and had nothing but good things to say about it.
Should you buy a refurbished Switch Lite console from Walmart?
All of the Switch Lite consoles shown above are newHowever, Walmart also has some slightly cheaper refurbished options. Buying refurbished products is a good way to save a little money, although the savings aren't huge considering the discounts on new models that are currently taking place. Customer reviews of Walmart's refurbished Switch Lite consoles are mostly positive, although some users have reported issues. The risk with buying refurbished tech from an online retailer is that you're more likely to experience problems with a used item than with a new one.
That being said, Walmart allows free returns on refurbished Switch Lite consoles for 90 days, so if you experience any issues within the first three months, you can easily return it for a full refund. You can find out Walmart's policy on refurbished products in the Help section of their website.
Should I buy now or wait until Black Friday?
Labor Day sales are in full swing right now, but Labor Day weekend isn't necessarily the best time to buy a new Nintendo console. The Nintendo Switch Lite was already cheaper on Prime Day, and it's likely to drop even more this Black Friday. That said, Walmart is still the best place to buy one today, as it currently has the lowest prices on the new Nintendo Switch Lite console. If you don't want to wait until Black Friday or until the price drops even further with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, now is a good time to buy a Switch.
