Like clockwork, any time Amazon announces a Prime Day event, Walmart conveniently launches a counter sale. This October appears to be no different. Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, casually known as October Prime Day, is coming Oct. 6 and 7. So it’s no coincidence that Walmart is throwing its own week-long sale starting Oct. 5.
Walmart’s sale is simply named Fall Deals and unlike Prime Big Deal Days, you don’t need to be a Walmart+ member to shop. However, most often with Walmart sales, members will get first dibs on deals. It costs $98 per year for a Walmart+ membership, but you can try it out for 30 days for just a buck.
There’s not a whole lot of info yet on Walmart’s anti-Prime Day sale, but here’s a breakdown of what we do know. We’ll update this story with more details as they become available.
