"Dupes" are all the rage right now, and they're a great way to save money on viral products or trendy brands. If you're unfamiliar with the term "dupe" (short for "duplicate"), it's a slang word used to describe cheaper versions of luxury/high-end products. Originally, people used the term primarily when talking about cosmetics, finding drugstore alternatives for expensive beauty products. Now, the term is applied to all types of products, from home decor, to fashion, to electronics.
Since we're all inundated with ads and influencer partnerships on social media, many of us find ourselves purchasing the items we see — even if they're out of our budget. But with the incredible dupes out there, it's not necessary to spend all that money. Here are some super popular products and their Walmart dupes:
Stanley 40 oz. Tumbler
The Stanley tumbler, specifically the Stanley Quencher H2.0 Flowstate™ Tumbler in the 40 oz. size, has gained huge popularity online. People love the handle, the large capacity, and the fact that it fits into most car cupholders. The tumblers almost always sell out, and the brand is constantly releasing new colors to keep up with demand.
Walmart Dupe: 40 oz. Tumbler
This 40 oz. tumbler looks almost identical to the viral Stanley tumbler, complete with a leak-resistant lid and straw, handle, and slim design. It's available in a variety of colors.
Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag
The Lululemon belt bag has a huge fan base, especially on social media. TikTokers stock up on every color, show off their collection, and make videos featuring the bag. The versatile bag can be worn as a fanny pack or cross-body bag, and it holds a surprising amount! Wallet, keys, phone, headphones, hand sanitizer, sunglasses, lip balm — everything you need for a quick trip out of the house.
Walmart Dupe: Belt Bag
This belt bag is practically identical to the Lululemon belt bag. The bag is exactly the same size and shape, and it even has the same internal pockets. The only noticeable different is the zipper — but for one-third of the price, that's no big deal. The bag is available in three different colors.
Golden Goose Super-Star Sneakers
$625
from
Golden Goose
Golden Goose sneakers are the latest shoe craze, but not everyone understands it. The luxury brand makes classic sneakers that look pre-worn (some people think they just look dirty). Many of the shoes have glitter, giving them a look that is simultaneously glitzy and grungy. Golden Goose sneakers have a steep price tag, which means they're something of a status symbol among trend-followers.
Walmart Dupe: Glitter Star Sneakers
Aside from the fact that these sneakers don't look pre-worn, they're otherwise very similar to the Golden Goose shoes. Wear them outside a couple of times and you'll get the grungy vibe Golden Goose is known for (at just a fraction of the price).
AirPods Max
Apple AirPods are sleek and stylish, but they're pretty pricey (even for headphones). Although they're popular, there are dupes that can give you the same look for a lot less money.
Walmart Dupe: Over Ear Headphones
It turns out taking the Apple name off a product makes it exponentially less expensive. Although these headphones aren't exactly the same, their appearance is very similar, so if you like the AirPods Max for their chic, modern look, these are a great alternative.
DryBar Hold Me Hair Clips
When you're doing your makeup or skin care routine, you want to make sure your hair stays out of your face. Using big alligator clips is the perfect way to pull your hair back without leaving dents or ruining your hairstyle.
Walmart Dupe: Hair Clips
Keeping your hair out of your face doesn't have to cost a lot of money. These clips easily hold your hair for a fraction of the price.
Crocs Classic Clogs
Whether you love or hate Crocs, there's no denying that the foam clogs have become incredibly popular recently. They're super comfortable, easy to slip on, and perfect for casual outings — but most pairs cost around $50.
Walmart Dupe: Foam Clogs
If you want the look of Crocs without the price tag, these clogs are a great alternative. They're just as comfortable, but don't cost nearly as much (which is great if you just want to wear them for a few months while they're "trendy").
Ceremonia Scalp Massager
Scalp massagers have become popular recently for boosting scalp and hair health. The tool gently massages and exfoliates the scalp, stimulating blood flow and optimizing products.
Walmart Dupe: Scalp Massager
Affordable scalp massagers do exactly the same thing as expensive ones, so why spend the extra money? This scalp massager fits comfortably in your hand and provides all the same benefits as high-end massagers.
Birkenstock Boston Clog
$158
from
Birkenstock
These Birkenstock clogs went viral in the fall, but they're great year-round shoes. Comfortable, durable, and versatile, these clogs are great for gardening, running errands, or grabbing brunch with friends.
Walmart Dupe: Cork Footbed Clog
The cork footbed clogs aren't identical to the Birkenstocks, but they're very similar. For less than a quarter of the price, they're definitely worth it.
Dior Book Tote
Dior's book totes are absolutely stunning, but they're also incredibly pricey. Like multiple-months-of-rent pricey. Unless you have a lot of disposable income, these probably aren't in the budget.
Walmart Dupe: Canvas Tote
This dupe isn't an exact replica, but it's clearly inspired by the iconic Dior bags. If you're looking for a bag that will give you that Dior aesthetic, this $21 beach tote is perfect.
Bombay Highball Glasses
$64
from
Anthropologie
Colorful glassware is making a comeback, and it's more elegant and playful than ever. Whether you're drinking iced tea on the porch, having a fancy cocktail with friends, or simply elevating your Dr. Pepper, colorful glassware will enhance your beverages.
Walmart Dupe: Colorful Glassware
Glassware can be expensive, so get the look for less with The Pioneer Woman's line at Walmart. These glasses look similar to the high end ones (without the high end prices).
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer
One of the most popular lip glosses over the past few years has been the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer. What can we say, Rihanna knows what she's doing. This lip gloss is super shiny, comfortable, and comes in a great range of colors.
Walmart Dupe: Maybelline Lifter Gloss
Almost every beauty guru agrees that the Maybelline Lifter Gloss is basically exactly the same as the Fenty Gloss Bomb, for a fraction of the price. The shade 009 Topaz is almost an exact dupe of the shade Fenty Glow.
Le Creuset Heart Cocotte
$220
from
Le Creuset
Le Creuset is known for its incredible enamel cookware, especially the Dutch ovens. This heart-shaped one is absolutely adorable, and perfect for date nights, anniversaries, or Valentine's Day.
Walmart Dupe: Cast Iron Heart Dutch Oven
This Dutch oven, from Drew Barrymore's Walmart brand, Beautiful, is an affordable dupe for the Le Creuset Heart Cocotte. If you don't want to shell out for the expensive Dutch oven, this light pink one is a great alternative.
Skims Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress
Skims, Kim Kardashian's brand, has become popular, and she keeps launching new items and styles. Recently, the long slip dress has been everywhere. Although it's not crazy expensive, you can still get dupes for less.
Walmart Dupe: Long Bodycon Dress
For less than $15, you can get a dress that looks basically identical to the Skims one. Available in a variety of colors, you can wear this dress for casual or more formal occasions. Reviewers say this dress is incredibly comfortable and stretchy, dries quickly, and isn't as sheer as the Skims!
CozyChic® Barefoot in the Wild® Throw
$180
from
Barefoot Dreams
This leopard print throw blanket is a favorite among celebrities and influencers, but it has the price tag to match. It's super cozy and comfortable, but it's not particularly affordable.
Walmart Dupe: Leopard Print Blanket
There's no reason to spend an arm and a leg on a blanket when there are fantastic dupes out there. This cream-colored leopard print throw blanket looks just like the Barefoot Dreams one, but it's a third of the price.
Peloton Bike
Starting at
$1445
from
It's safe to say that Peloton revolutionized the home fitness world, but the bike and subscription can be expensive. The bike alone starts at $1,445 and the app membership starts at $12.99/month — that can really add up!
Walmart Dupe: Spin Bike
Get all the benefits of Peloton without the brand name price tag by buying a spin bike. You can still sign up for a Peloton app membership to get the coaching experience (but it won't cost as much as buying their bike).
Alo Seamless Delight High Neck Bra
Alo has quickly become the influencer activewear brand. Its clothing is stylish and comfortable, perfect for getting that aesthetic vibe that's all over social media. This high neck bra is great for workouts, but it's also cute enough to wear while running errands or grabbing food with friends.
