We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

We are already halfway through August, and summer has about a month left. In case you missed it, Walmart had some strong deals last month on all sorts of great summer foods. Now, since September is only a few weeks away, this of course means that it's time to start planning for Halloween! Pumpkin and Halloween-themed items are starting to appear in Walmart's aisles like a jump scare. 

Don't worry though, not every new kitchen item at Walmart this August is preparing you for October and beyond. We dug through the superstore's catalogue to find some goods to catch your eye, such as marble coasters, cute little pumpkin cocottes, attractive linen napkins, stoneware pitchers, etched plates, autumnal tumblers, a large drink dispenser, and an eco-friendly serving bowl set. All the items are either Walmart's private-label (like Mainstays), or are from brands exclusive to the company (like Better Homes and Gardens). Don't worry, the usual Walmart deals, such as these kitchen tools that cost under $10, are still around. Keep in mind that availability and prices vary across regions.

These marble coasters from Better Homes & Gardens will protect your tabletop in style. The off-white, neutral tones will fit any home décor. The coasters have a 4.9-star rating on the Walmart website with multiple customers calling them "elegant." Other reviewers call them "heavy duty," which is to be expected since they are made of marble. They fit most glasses and include a raised edge to help keep your drink in place.

Each BHG MARBL coaster is for sale at Walmart for $8.97.

Cute, little baking dishes with lids shaped like pumpkins, the stoneware cocottes are just waiting for you to start thinking about Thanksgiving. Only 4.25 inches tall, the baking dishes are sized for individual desserts. They are dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe (up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit), so you can feel comfortable baking your dessert right in them.

The Better Homes & Gardens 8-ounce Green Figural Pumpkin Stoneware Cocotte with Lid are available from Walmart in green or cream in packs of three for $17.92.

Reusable napkins are not just eco-friendly — they bring an air of class to the table as well. These plaid cotton-linen mix napkins come in harvest colors of deep red and yellow, well-suited for meals this fall. Each napkin is 20 inches by 20 inches. Nice linens like reusable napkins and tablecloths can easily be stored in an attractive chest of drawers in your kitchen.
