Walmart’s summer mega sale — aka the Walmart Deals Event — is officially live now for everyone. This sale is basically Walmart’s answer to Amazon Prime Day, kind of like a summer version of the Walmart Big Deals Event that happens each fall.
It brings some of the biggest markdowns of the year across electronics, toys, home, beauty, travel, and back to school items. You don’t need to be a Walmart+ member to shop, but paid members do get early access a few hours before the public launch.
