Walmart's Prime Day alternative deals are live now — here are all the biggest sales
Walmart takes on Prime Day with its own epic deals
Walmart and Amazon are fierce retail rivals, so it’s no surprise that Walmart is looking to steal some thunder away from Prime Day deals with its own selection of alternative deals.
Similar to the Best Buy Black Friday in July sale, Walmart is slashing the price of loads of items that typically sell well during Amazon's annual sales extravaganza. That means 4K TVs, kitchen appliances, and laptops have all been reduced. We could even see a PS5 restock at some point this week to further move the conversation away from Prime Day.
Walmart isn’t locking the majority of these summer deals behind a membership paywall, but there’s still plenty of incentive to upgrade to a Walmart Plus. For $98 a year, or $12.95 a month, you get gas discounts at select locations, unlimited free delivery, and various in-store benefits. If you want the most out of your Walmart shopping experience, it’s could be a worthwhile upgrade.
If Prime Day isn’t quite living up to your expectations, then you may find what you’re looking for at Walmart. But with so many top-selling products on sale right now, finding the biggest savings can be surprisingly tricky. That’s why we’re rounding up our favorite deals in the Walmart summer sales down below.
