Walmart Deals event returns on July 8 — here's everything to know about the anti-Prime Day sale

Got a pencil? If not, grab one because you'll want to mark this down. We've got big news on the summer shopping savings front: Walmart just announced that its annual Walmart Deals event will kick off on Tuesday, July 8 and run through Sunday, July 13 — six whole days. That's two days longer than Amazon Prime Day — the main competing sale of the month...you know the one! — and offering up to 50% off everything from tech and home to fashion and toys. You'll find markdowns on big brands like Samsung, Vizio, Dyson, Sharpie and more. Another perk: Walmart+ members can start saving early, with exclusive access beginning on July 7.

When is the Walmart Deals event?

Walmart Deals begins on Tuesday, July 8 at midnight ET and runs through Sunday, July 13. Walmart+ members get access on Monday, July 7 at 7pm ET. Plus, for the first time, Walmart Deals will also be available in local stores.

What is the Walmart Deals event?

While you can always count on Walmart for low prices and even better deals, we're anticipating some record-low markdowns on top-rated bestsellers during the Walmart Deals event. Expect huge discounts on thousands of big-ticket items like vacuums, big-screen smart TVs, home and kitchen appliances, furniture and tech gear, plus back-to-school must-haves. Preview some of the top deals here!

“From barbecues to back-to-school, we know this is a busy shopping season for our customers, which is why we’re excited to bring back the Walmart Deals event,” said Megan Crozier, executive vice president, General Merchandise, Walmart U.S. “As customers look to save on both the items that they want and need this season, this summer’s event will feature a wider selection of products, including wellness finds and everyday essentials. We also know families are continuing to shop earlier for the new school year, so we’ve brought back deals on first-day essentials to help customers save more when it matters most.

And unlike Amazon Prime Day, Walmart Deals is open to all shoppers, not just those with a paid membership. (Though Walmart+ members will get first access!)

How do I become a Walmart+ member?

While being a Walmart+ member comes in handy during special events like Walmart Deals, it's also smart to sign up if the idea of getting free shipping on every purchase, along with complimentary grocery delivery, sounds good to you. Plus, Walmart+ members can save on things like gas and prescriptions.

There's never been a better time to sign up for a Walmart+ membership. In addition to the usual perks, you'll get early access to the Walmart Deals event. You don't want to miss out, right?
