Walmart Deals Event Kicks Off with Bargains Up to 50% Off

.

The holidays are just around the corner, and Walmart is giving customers a chance to cash in on thousands of bargains — some up to 50% off — this Tuesday, October 8 through Sunday, October 13th

So, between the low prices at Walmart Deals and this year’s Amazon Prime Big Deal Days (Tuesday, October 8th and Wednesday, October 9th), you’re sure to find a wide variety of Fall bargains ahead of the busy holiday season on tech, toys, kitchen accessories, gifts for the home and more. 

Walmart Deals: What to expect

Just like last year’s Walmart Deals event, the retailer is introducing earlier, longer windows for holiday savings across an assortment of goods and services, including its inflation-free holiday meal — weeks earlier than in previous years. 

“We know many of our customers are beginning to prepare for their holiday celebrations early, and we’ve adapted our approach to best meet their needs,” said Latriece Watkins, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, Walmart U.S. “We’ve worked hard to lower prices across our most exciting assortment ever, and we’re thrilled to give customers more of what they want this holiday — more time to prepare and more opportunities to save all season long.”

When does the Walmart Deals event begin?

Members get exclusive early access to shop the most-wanted deals beginning October 8 at 12AM ET on Walmart.com and on the app, Walmart+, 12 hours earlier than anyone else. Not a member? Everyone can shop the Walmart Holiday Deals event starting October 8 at 12PM ET on Walmart.com and the app. After that, the shopping continues in store on October 9th.  

If you’re holding out for cooler temperatures before making your list (and checking it twice) don’t miss Walmart’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday events where the retailer will also have a variety of deals and discounts.
