If you haven't heard yet, let us be the ones to let you know there are some steep savings on the horizon. Next week kicks off some of the most significant savings events across major retailers, with multi-day discounts across virtually all categories. Walmart's Holiday Deals event launches with savings starting Tuesday, October 8, and running through Sunday, October 13. That's nearly a week of deals to shop on thousands of products. And that's not where it ends. This six-day event occurs right alongside Amazon's October Prime Day, October 8 - 9, and Wayfair's October 3 - October 7 Way Day event.
And though we're on the way to seeing some great savings, there are already price drops worth checking out. The style section at Walmart has been on fire recently, with stylish finds and great savings we can't get enough of. There are also some bestselling kitchen upgrades and organizational pieces we love, plus deals on Halloween and fall decor. The proximity to the holiday season also makes this a prime time to jump-start holiday shopping.
Because we here at AOL Shopping browse deals for our day jobs, we want to ensure you've got all the nitty-gritty details you need to make the most of the deep discounts this October. Have a look below at some of the best deals we've found, with prices we don't see getting any better over the next week.
Retailers have been moving up the kick-off to the holiday season recently, starting with Amazon's first October Prime Day a few years back, and retailers like Walmart quickly followed suit. It's become an October staple, with major discounts, offering shoppers the opportunity to spread out the typical frenzy of spending that happens in Q4. One key difference between Walmart's Holiday event and the original Amazon Prime Day is that Walmart's savings are open to all shoppers, not just paid members. Prime Day is still only accessible to Amazon Prime members.
This year, Holiday Deals kicks off on Tuesday, October 8 at noon EST and runs through Sunday, October 13 at 11:59 pm EST. If you are a Walmart+ member, you'll enjoy access to the deals starting at midnight EST on Tuesday, October 8. If you're not yet a Walmart+, check out your options because there are quite a few perks that might hit the spot.
If you prefer shopping in-store, deals will be live at your local Walmart on Wednesday, October 9, at 6 am local time.
It's quite simple and for some, very worth it! Walmart+ membership is a no-brainer if you like to enjoy early access to discounts, are looking for free shipping on every purchase and would like to take advantage of grocery delivery, our personal favorite.
