While Walmart+ Week (which ran from June 17 through 23) was largely underwhelming, Walmart is redeeming itself with a brand-new Prime Day-rivaling shopping event. Simply dubbed Walmart Deals, the big box store is marketing it as its “largest savings event ever” and it kicks off the week before Prime Day. Coincidence? Never. We knew Walmart wouldn’t pass up the chance to compete with Mr. Bezos. Here’s everything you need to know.
When is the Walmart Deals event?
Walmart Deals kicks off Monday, July 8 at 5 p.m. ET and runs through Thursday, July 11 at 11:59 p.m. ET on Walmart.com and the Walmart app. If you’re a Walmart+ member, you can start shopping five hours before everyone else, beginning at noon ET. For those keeping track, that’s just a little over a week prior to Prime Day’s official kick off.
Can you shop Walmart Deals without being a Walmart+ member?
Unlike Walmart+ Week, which overlapped with Prime Day last year, Walmart Deals is not exclusive to Walmart+ members. Anyone can shop the deals on Walmart.com and the Walmart app beginning July 8 at 5 p.m. ET. However, being a Walmart+ member definitely has its perks. You’ll get exclusive early access to deals five hours before everyone else. If you’ve got your eye on a specific deal and want to guarantee it comes home with you, shopping early as a Walmart+ member is probably worth it.
Best deals to look out for during the Walmart Deals event
As noted in the retailer’s press release, Walmart Deals will cover a very similar list of categories to Prime Day — shocker. Those include electronics, home, toys, travel, and back-to-school must-haves. Big doorbusters mentioned in a Walmart sneak peek include the Dyson V12 Detect Slim for $449.99 (reg. $649.99) and an HP Victus gaming laptop for $599 (reg. $979). You can also expect up to $100 off TVs, up to $200 off fitness, up to 50% off floor care, and up to 30% off Lego.
Here’s a preview of some of the best featured deals to look out for. We’ll keep you updated with new deals that drop once the event officially begins.
