Like clockwork, any time Amazon announces a Prime Day event, Walmart conveniently launches a counter sale. This October is 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. Members do get extra perks, though, including free next-day shipping, free same-day delivery, and more. It costs $98 per year for a Walmart+ membership, but you can try it out for 30 days for just a buck.
Here's what you need to know about Walmart's Prime Day sale, which is now officially live.
When is Walmart's Prime Day event?
The Walmart Fall Deals event kicked off at midnight ET on Oct. 5. While Amazon's event only lasts 48 hours, Walmart will keep the fun going for a full week, wrapping up on Oct. 11.
