Get excited because early access to Walmart's Holiday Deals event just kicked off, with early access to thousands of deals exclusively for Walmart+ members. But don't worry: the deals become accessible for all shoppers at noon on Oct. 8th and run until Sunday, October 13. It's an event that's shaping up to add some friendly competition to Amazon's October Prime Day event, which is also now live from Oct. 8 to 9.

All of these early holiday deals are a great time to stock up on gifts you know you'll need in just a few short months, whether it's a new pair of women's PJs for a picky mother-in-law or a small-but-mighty espresso machine for your household's resident coffee lover.
If it seems like each year the kick-off to Christmas happens earlier and earlier, there is some truth to that hunch. Retailers have been moving up the start to the holidays ever so subtly by unveiling more and more elaborate "pre"-holiday-sale sales, beginning with Amazon's first October Prime Day back in 2020 (thanks, Covid). Retailers like Walmart and Target quickly followed suit, and now the pre-holiday sales event is a bit of a capital T "Thing."
On the plus side? Shoppers get the opportunity to spread out the holiday shopping frenzy across several months, rather than squeeze their wallets dry in late November during Black Friday sales. And right now during Walmart's Holiday Deals event there's no better time to start tackling your holiday to-gift list. We've found deals on everything, from brands like Lego and Barbie, to bestsellers like a $59 Bissell vacuum and a $64 charcoal smoker, to even some of our very favorite top-rated items that we've tested and reviewed, like these $35 sheets and the Shark Navigator vacuum our editor swears by.
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. All are perks of being a Walmart+ member, as well as savings on gas, prescriptions and some eateries. It's not hard to sign up; just click here and enjoy a 30-day free trial.
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.
