Walmart+ is Walmart’s exclusive membership program that gives you access to a wide range of perks, including early access to Walmart’s Holiday Deals event. During special sale events, Walmart+ members get a head start with early access to the best deals, so you can shop before the general public. Awesome, right?

Walmart's Holiday Deals event kicks off Oct. 8, offering discounts on electronics, home goods, fashion, and toys, with early access for Walmart+ members and additional perks such as free two-day shipping and gas discounts.

Walmart's Holiday Deals event starts on the same day as Amazon's October Prime Day sale​ but lasts even longer.

Walmart is launching six days of holiday savings. Unlike Prime Day, you don't need a membership to shop the savings. Walmart+ members do get early access to the sales event and can start shopping 12 hours earlier than everyone else, but all customers can join in on the savings starting at noon ET on October 8.
