Making the most of your next Walmart run just got way more affordable. Savvy shoppers know the secret to scoring big is to keep an eye out for the retailer’s yearly sales like Walmart Deals — which, by the way, is going on now with major markdowns on summer fashion, Michael Kors accessories and more. But if you want to rack up extra savings every time you check out in-store or place an order online, you’ll love Walmart’s annual benefits program — otherwise known as Walmart Plus.
With exclusive discounts on shipping and delivery, priority access to the year’s biggest savings events and a handful of other unique perks, becoming a member practically pays for itself — especially now since the annual membership is 50% off for a limited time during Walmart Deals. You can even begin with a 30-day trial for $1 when you sign up for the first time — though some offers are reserved for paying members only, so you may want to opt out of the trial for full access right away.
Wondering if a Walmart Plus membership is worth it? Keep scrolling for all the details and benefits of joining.
