What is the Walmart Deals shopping event?

Walmart Deals is an annual shopping extravaganza designed to compete with other major October sales like Amazon Prime Big Deal Days and Target Circle Week. During the Walmart Deals event, you can expect to find deep discounts of up to 50% off across various categories, including electronics, home decor, outdoor finds, viral toys for the holiday gifting season, fashion and so much more. This is the perfect opportunity for shoppers to avoid the rush and get a head start on their holiday gift shopping.

Do I need a Walmart+ membership to shop the Walmart Deals sale?

No, you don't need a Walmart+ membership to shop the Walmart Deals event, but having one is a major advantage! Walmart+ members did gain early access to the October deals, and they had the chance to start shopping on Monday, October 6, at 7:00 pm ET. This early shopping access was crucial for snagging highly sought-after items before they sold out.

Additional perks include saving up to 10 cents per gallon at over 14,000 gas stations, skipping checkout lines with Mobile Scan & Go, access to a free Paramount+ subscription and so much more.

Can you shop the Walmart Deals online and in stores?

Yes, the best Walmart deals are usually available both online and in Walmart stores. However, early access for Walmart+ members is often online only. It's best to check the specific details for each deal, as some might be online-exclusive while others are in-store only.

How does the Walmart Deals event compare to Black Friday sales?

Many of the deals offered during the Walmart Deals event should be comparable with the savings you'll find during Black Friday.

While you might see a few different items go on sale later in the season, shopping early can help you avoid the crowds, shipping delays and out-of-stock issues that often come with shopping closer to Thanksgiving.

When is Black Friday 2025?

Black Friday is a little late again this year, which is a big reason why shoppers are eager for all the upcoming October sales to roll out. Black Friday 2025 is on Friday, November 28 and Cyber Monday is on Monday, December 1.
