Walmart Deals vs. Amazon Prime Day: A Comparison

Two major sales events are about to go head-to-head: Amazon Prime Day and Walmart Deals. Amazon kicks off its four-day sale on July 8, with Walmart Deals starting on the same day but running through July 13, giving shoppers two extra days of savings.

While pricing typically stays similar between the two events, there’s a key difference that sets Walmart Deals apart in my view. Here’s what makes Walmart the better choice for deals.

First off, Amazon Prime Day requires you to have an Amazon Prime membership, which costs $14.99 per month or $139.99 annually. This might be worth it if you use Amazon regularly or enjoy their Prime Video and Amazon Music services. But if you’re not a frequent Amazon shopper, it doesn’t make sense to pay for a membership just for a few days of deals.

That’s where Walmart Deals shine. You can shop without a membership, saving you the cost of a monthly Amazon Prime subscription. Plus, Walmart offers early access to its deals for Walmart Plus members, a perk you can enjoy by signing up for a free 30-day trial or taking advantage of a reduced annual membership fee.

Walmart Plus offers benefits like free shipping, same-day grocery and pharmacy delivery, online petcare, gas discounts, and even a free Paramount Plus subscription. With these perks at a lower cost than Amazon Prime, Walmart Deals provide a better overall value and easier access to savings.

In conclusion, if you want to avoid the hassle of a subscription and still enjoy great deals, Walmart Deals are the way to go. Plus, with the added perks offered through Walmart Plus, you’ll get even more value for your money. Get ready to shop smarter and save more during Walmart’s upcoming deals event!
