Summer is officially deal season, and Walmart (WMT) is making sure it gets a seat at the table. The retail giant has announced the return of its Walmart Deals event, a weeklong shopping sale packed with thousands of offers across some of the most popular product categories.
The event overlaps directly with Amazon's (AMZN) Prime Day, putting the two retail heavyweights in direct competition for U.S. shoppers. For consumers watching their wallets, this could not come at a better time.
