Walmart

We're edging ever closer to the big Black Friday sales extravaganza, with some of the early deals starting to flow across all kinds of categories. Walmart already offers competitive pricing on everyday essentials, but Walmart Plus subscribers can save even more -- and this is your chance to get in on the act with a huge 50% discount.

Walmart is offering that discount only to new subscribers, so existing members are out of luck. This deal means that you'll get a full year of Walmart Plus for just $49. Walmart Plus members save in all kinds of ways, including early access to deals. Additional savings can be found on everything from free delivery to discounts at the gas station, so, really, what are you waiting for?

What's included in a Walmart Plus subscription? In addition to early access to major shopping events at Walmart, you'll get free shipping with no minimum purchase, as well as other perks, like up to same-day delivery on select items; Scan and Go shopping using the app; monetary shopping rewards; up to 10 cents per gallon off gas; and more.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. 

Plus, you'll get access to Paramount Plus included with your membership. This basic tier does have ads, but having a streaming service subscription included with your membership makes it an incredible value -- especially at this price. Alternatively, you can choose a subscription to Peacock if that's more your speed.

Note that this discount offer doesn't include the 30-day free trial. If you opt for the trial instead and later decide you want to continue the membership, you'll be charged full price for your annual membership. And if you're in the trial currently and sign up, you will forfeit the remaining time of your trial.

Why this deal matters

It's fairly rare to see annual memberships of any kind be discounted by half of the cost. Walmart has had this deal before, but it didn't stick around for very long. This is likely the last chance you'll have to sign up at this price this year. And you could be waiting a while to see this offer return.Â
