November is nearly here, and winter holidays are just around the corner. Plus, with Black Friday and holiday savings ramping up, there's no better time to scour the internet for deals, discounts, and top savings.
Perhaps the best thing about the holiday season is that other major retailers are looking to cash in on the holiday shopping palooza, offering similar or better offerings on top products -- and even membership opportunities. Right now, Walmart is discounting its Walmart+ membership program by 50%.
Instead of paying $98/year, you can sign up and pay only $49. This offer is valid through Dec. 2, 2024, so if you're looking to grab exclusive membership savings that you can stretch all year, now's your chance. The last time we saw this offer was back in July ahead of Prime Day.

Walmart+ provides a plethora of added benefits to customers, including free delivery from your store, free shipping with no order minimum, saving 10 cents per gallon at 13,000+ fuel locations nationwide (including Exxon, Mobil, Walmart, and Murphy stations), video streaming with Paramount+, auto care services, returns from home, early access to exclusive savings, mobile scan and go, and more.
Don't miss out on a chance to save on membership perks that can be used all year and access early savings ahead of everyone else this Black Friday.
