Walmart Deals Sale Is Walmart’s Answer to Prime Day
Walmart has announced that it is preparing to launch Walmart Deals , a sale intended to compete with Prime Day . Walmart ran a similar sale around last year’s Prime Day, so it’s no surprise that it’s being repeated. Here’s what to expect from Walmart Deals.
What are Walmart Deals?
Walmart Deals is intended to be Amazon’s answer to Prime Day. It’s a sale both in-store and online with discounts on most items Walmart sells (food is probably the biggest omission). The sale takes place each year around these early summer dates, revolving around Prime Day.
When do Walmart discounts start?
The Walmart Deals sale kicks off online at 12 p.m. ET on Tuesday, July 8, and in stores during local business hours. It runs through Sunday, July 13. This marks the first time the sale has lasted six days, which is likely due to Amazon also extending its sale .
Do you need to be a Walmart+ member to shop during Walmart sales?
No. But if you’re a Walmart+ member, you’ll get early access to the sales, which begin Tuesday, July 7 at 7 p.m. ET, a full night before the event opens to the public. You can sign up for a free 30-day Walmart+ subscription or get an annual plan for $98 ($8.17 per month).
What to Expect from Walmart Deals
Walmart says the sale will span a variety of different categories, including deals on electronics, home goods, toys, travel, back-to-school supplies, and more — similar to the deals we found last year . The sale will be available on Walmart.com , the Walmart app, and in stores. You can see the landing page already, though the sale hasn’t started yet. Here are some of the deals Walmart says will be available:

Here are all the other competing sales
You can always expect major retailers to have their own competitive sales, with the biggest being Best Buy , Target, and of course, Amazon . As in previous years, these sales will start earlier, overlap, and last longer than Prime Day. There are usually a couple of deals that are better than Amazon’s Prime Day from each retailer, but most of the good deals will be on Amazon. I’ll update this post with details of these deals as they’re announced.
