Why We Love This Deal
Something strange is going on in Walmart's clothing department. As prices on even the most basic styles continue to rise at essentially every retailer, some listed at Walmart are low enough to make you think it's the 1960s. Lately, we’ve found bonkers deals on all kinds of clothing, including a $10 rain jacket, $6 T-shirts, $12 slide sandals, $7 hoodies, and more. Today’s deal is the best yet: A pair of workout shorts for just one dollar. Yes, you read that right.
The Kmdttou Casual Sports Workout Shorts are on sale for as low as $1 per pair, up to an 80% discount from their normal price of $5. We're seeing that the price depends on your choice of color and size, but most are no more than $3. The one downside is that you'll need to factor in shipping (fees range from $4 to $6), but even with shipping added in, these shorts are a screaming bargain—just cross-shop it against the shorts deals at REI, where the absolute cheapest option is $15.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colorways Available: 20
- Sizes Available: S-5XL
- Material: 100% polyester
- Pockets: 3
- Best For: Lounging, workouts, yard work
Despite their rock bottom price, the Kmdttou shorts pack in a lot of value. They’re made from a 100% polyester mesh fabric, a common choice for workout gear because it’s lightweight and wicks moisture (unlike cotton, which will soak up all your sweat).
The shorts also feature an elastic waistband with a sturdy drawcord for a snug, slip-free fit—essential for high-intensity movements and workout routines. They’re built with two zippered hand pockets and a rear stash pocket, which is an unheard-of level of storage for a bargain pair of shorts.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Let’s be honest: $1 shorts are never going to match the robust build quality you’d find on a name-brand pair. That said, shoppers have left lots of positive feedback for these Kmdttou shorts.
Several said they “fit great” (though they run a bit small) and have “good quality” for the price and a “great soft fabric.” A comfortable fabric and a snug fit are two of the most crucial factors for any pair of shorts, and it’s encouraging to see these earned high marks in those categories. Should you wear them for a through-hike on the Appalachian Trail? Probably not, but for more casual use, they’ll serve you well. Overall, these shorts make a great pick for lounging, light workouts, and around-the-house chores.
This Flash Deal will expire in a matter of days, but at just $1 per pair, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Kmdttou workout shorts sold out in a few hours. Snag your pair (or a whole drawer full) ASAP before they disappear.
