Walmart said Tuesday it was offering more “rollbacks,” or temporary price reductions on items, than in previous years and a wider array of toys for less than $50 and $25.

In addition to toys, shoppers will likely find discounts on clothing, TVs, beauty products, sporting goods and other items.

Other companies are also ramping up promotions to offer incentives to inflation-strained shoppers who might otherwise be priced out of holiday gifts.

But it’s unclear whether holiday discounts will be compelling enough to spur inflation-conscious shoppers to buy.
