You don't need a Walmart+ membership to shop the Walmart Deals sale, but having one could help you access early deals and score extra savings. With a Walmart+ membership you'll be able to start shopping the deals five hours before the general public. That means, you'll get first dibs on the hottest deals (some of which are sure to sell out fast) and enjoy all the other benefits that come with a Walmart+ membership, like free shipping, same-day delivery, gas discounts, and more.

Is the Walmart Deals sale going to be similar to Amazon Prime Day?

We're anticipating the Walmart Deals sale to be very similar to Amazon Prime Day. Unlike Prime Day, which offers incredible deals to Prime members, the Walmart sale is open to shoppers with and without a Walmart+ membership. Both sales will have rare markdowns across all categories, making it a great time to stock up on essentials and purchase pricier items at a discount.
