Walmart announced that it's prepping to launch Walmart Deals, a sale meant to compete with Prime Day. Last year, Walmart had the same sale around last year's Prime Day as well, so it's no surprise it's happening again. Here is what you can expect from Walmart Deals.
What is Walmart Deals?
Walmart Deals is meant to be the answer to Amazon's Prime Day. It is both an in-store and online sale with deals on most things that Walmart sells (food being arguably the biggest omission). The sale happens every year around these early summer dates, revolving around Prime Day.
When does Walmart Deals start?
Walmart Deals kicks off online at 12 a.m. ET on Tuesday, July 8, and in stores at local opening times, and it will run through Sunday, July 13. This is the first time the sale will run for six days, likely having to do with Amazon also extending its sale.
Do you need to be a Walmart+ member to shop during Walmart Deals?
No. But, if you are a Walmart+ member, you'll get early access to the sales beginning Tuesday, July 7 at 7 p.m. ET, a full night before the event opens to the public. You can sign up for a free 30-day Walmart+ subscription or get the annual plan for $98 ($8.17/month).
What you can expect from Walmart Deals
Walmart says its sale will include many different categories, including deals on electronics, home, toys, travel, back-to-school materials, and many other categories—similar to the deals we found last year. The sale will be on Walmart.com, the Walmart app, and in stores. You can already see the landing page, even though the sale hasn't started. Here are some deals Walmart says will be available:
32-Inch Samsung Smart Monitor for $199 (was $299.99)
50-Inch Vizio QLED Smart TV for $238 (was $298)
Dyson V7 Advanced Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for $229.99 (was $399.99)
HART 40-Volt 21-inch Supercharge 3-in-1 Self-Propelled Mower Kit for $374 (was $548)
Ozark Trail 20x10 Foot Straight Leg Pop Up Canopy Tent for $139.77 (was $199.67)
Seiko Automatic Blue Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch for $125 (was $196.20)

You can choose between in-store pickup and different delivery options, including early-morning delivery, late-night express delivery, and next- and two-day shipping.
Here are all of the other competing sales
You can always expect major retailers to have their own competitive sales, the big ones being Best Buy, Target, and, of course, Amazon. Like in previous years, the dates for these sales will start earlier, overlap, and run longer than Prime Day. There are usually a couple of deals that are better than Amazon's Prime Day from each of the retailers, but the majority of the good deals will be on Amazon. I will be updating this post with details on those offerings as soon as they've been announced.
