Here’s some good news: Walmart’s early Black Friday sale is now live -- but there’s a catch. To access the discounts at the moment, you need to be a Walmart+ subscriber. If you’re interested in a subscription, which gets you free shipping, free grocery delivery, and Paramount+ streaming, you can sign up for half off, today only. But if you’d rather wait until the sale goes live for everyone, you’re probably wondering when that is.
Let’s dive in.
When Walmart’s Early Black Friday Sale Goes Live for Everyone
Thankfully, you don’t have to wait long to access the early Black Friday deals if you don’t have a Walmart+ subscription. The deals go live for everyone at 3pm ET today. That goes for the online deals, anyway. The in-store deals start November 10.
Get a 1-Year Walmart+ Membership for $49
If you’re wondering what you get with a Walmart+ subscription, it’s actually quite a lot. It’s pretty analogous to an Amazon Prime membership, in fact. You get free shipping on most items from Walmart’s website, regardless of your order total. You get free delivery from your local Walmart store. You also get fuel discounts at a number of gas stations, and full access to the Paramount+ streaming service. You can find more details in our Walmart+ explainer.
