Not to be outdone by Amazon’s Prime Day announcement earlier this week, Walmart announced the dates of what they’re calling their “biggest sale yet”. This brand new sale is named "Walmart Deals" and it's running a full week before Prime Day. This four day sale is speculated to have some of Walmart’s lowest prices of the year on Back-to-school essentials, apparel, tech, and much more. Here's everything we know so far!

What is the Walmart Deals sale?

Walmart Deals is a new four day sale that Walmart is calling their, “Biggest sale yet”. It’s essentially Walmart’s answer to Amazon Prime Day and is part of a bigger retail trend that many in the industry called Black Friday in July. To complete with Amazon Prime Day, many major retailers have started to offer huge discounts during the same timeframe.

When is the Walmart Deals sale?

The Walmart Deals sale is four days long, which is a full two days longer than the Amazon Prime Day sale. It will run from Monday, July 8th at 5 p.m. ET through 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, July 11th. Walmart+ members can begin their shopping early a whole five hours before everyone else. Members will score exclusive early access to the sale starting at 12p.m. ET on Monday, July 8th.
