Walmart’s fall savings event is officially live for everyone — and it’s going head-to-head with the Amazon Prime Day sale and Target Circle Week. The Walmart Deals Event runs through Oct. 12, giving shoppers extra time to snag major markdowns on electronics, home, fashion, toys, and more. That's a full four days longer than Prime Big Deal Days, which runs Oct. 7 - 8.
This sale only comes around twice a year, and it’s packed with the kind of rollbacks that rival Prime Big Deal Days. We’ve rounded up the best offers worth adding to your cart before prices go back up.

Our Favorite Walmart Deals:
Walmart Deals is a twice-a-year, 6-day sale with some of the best prices across departments.
The Walmart Deals event in October is the official start to the holiday shopping season (coinciding with Amazon’s October Prime Day sale and Target Circle Week).
Unlike Amazon, though, Walmart doesn’t limit the sale to just paid Walmart+ members. But a paid Walmart Plus membership does give you early access to the online deals five hours before everyone else.
Even though Walmart won't price match during Amazon Prime Day, their prices are usually neck and neck with Amazon's. So you’ll probably find comparable price matchups without ever having to ask.
The Walmart Deals Event returned on Oct. 6 for Walmart+ members and on Oct. 7 for everyone.
The Walmart Deals Event kicked off Oct. 7 - 12, 2025, beginning at midnight ET on Walmart.com and in the Walmart app for all shoppers.
Paid Walmart+ members got exclusive early access to shop the online deals five hours earlier than everyone else, starting at 7 p.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 6.
