What You Need to Know About Walmart's 'Fall Deals' Sale
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days promotion—think of it as October Prime Day—is typically one of the biggest sales of the fall, and every year, it prompts other retailers to follow suit with their own discounts and promotions—including Walmart. After Amazon announced the date for its sale next month, Walmart started the clock for its own Prime Day-esque sale (there is literally a countdown on its homepage). It is both an in-store and online sale with deals on most things that Walmart sells (food being arguably the biggest omission).
