Walmart has several waves of Black Friday deals coming up, the first of which begins on November 11, followed by two more on November 25 and December 1. You can get three hours of early access to each of those waves of deals through their website and through the Walmart app, but only as a Walmart Plus member. This will allow you to casually browse for the gifts you're looking for without feeling like you're competing with shoppers to get the deals before they sell out.
If that sounds like a luxury, Walmart is offering a huge 50% discount on membership through December 2, bringing the cost down to $49 for one year. In addition to giving you early access to deal events during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there are exclusive Walmart Plus deals you'll have access to all year long. A membership also guarantees free shipping, gas discounts, a subscription to Paramount Plus, discounts at Burger King, and more.
In case you're waiting until the last possible moment to get a discounted subscription, Walmart spokesperson Gabby Ach confirmed to Polygon that those who wait to purchase a Walmart Plus subscription until an early access offer period begins They will still get instant access to those offers.
