If you're a regular Walmart shopper, Walmart+ will save you money. A Walmart+ membership normally costs $98, or $40 less than its major membership service competitor, Amazon Prime. However, you can test it out for free for 30-days right now to get free shipping and same-day delivery.

If you’ve been thinking of becoming a Walmart+ member and want to start your holiday shopping early, now is the perfect time. That's because the retailer is offering a can't-miss deal on subscriptions ahead of its upcoming Walmart Holiday Deals event.

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.

The mega retailer says it’s shifting its shopping season ahead by several weeks to accommodate consumer behavior with discounted toys, electronics, and more.

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

Amazon has held a second Prime Day of sorts in October and that sale event is coming back this year, too. Prime Big Deal Days returns on October 8 and 9, but we’re already starting to see some decent deals pop up across Amazon’s site.
