Paid for by Walmart®

Grab your wallets, both physical and digital: Walmart has just kicked-off its summer Deals for Days event. Helping to usher in the summer solstice by starting at 7 p.m. ET on June 20th, the new shopping event is delivering huge savings on some of the most coveted items of the year through June 23rd. Move over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, because the retail giant is essentially creating a whole new holiday, right in the middle of summer.

Electronics, beauty, toys and fashion are all included, at up to 60% off their regular prices. But, since the deals will only be available while supplies last, it’s important to have a game plan before shopping to have the best experience.

Even if you’re already well-versed in what Walmart offers, they have so much up for grabs across categories. So, it’s quite possible that you might miss out on some really fantastic deals if you don’t have a strategy. Whether it’s your first time shopping at any big savings event or if you’re a sale expert, here’s what you need to know to have the best few days shopping Walmart’s Deals for Days event.

Save all your upcoming shopping for June 20th through June 23rd.

Weekends are made for errands and shopping, but since you know a big savings moment is coming, you can stave off buying anything that isn’t necessary until the Deals for Days event. There’s no guarantee about all the products that will be up for grabs, but Walmart has hundreds of items, so anything is possible. So if you had a trip planned to your favorite store to grab a smart device or cooking appliance, you may want to wait until after the event has wrapped up to see what Walmart has in store.

Plan to shop both in-store at a Walmart near you and online.

Starting at 7 p.m. EST on Sunday, June 20th, through the close of business on Wednesday, June 23rd, you can head to your nearest Walmart to officially start reaping the benefits of its Deals for Days savings. So, it’s important to figure out whether or not you want to try your luck at some point in-store, or if you want to keep your shopping experience digital. Of course, you can do both: It’s just best to figure out your game plan ahead of time so you can get everything you need.

Build your shopping wish list.

Knowing what you want to get out of a big shopping event is crucial. With thousands of products up for grabs, just diving in can leave you overwhelmed mere minutes into your experience. Products are also sure to sell out quickly, so you should only aim for what you need first and then you can come back later for what you want to see if it’s still available.

Walmart allows you to build your own wish list by pressing the heart-shaped button on collection pages and clicking “Add to list” on product pages, so you should use this functionality to create a list of everything on your shopping agenda in advance. You can also use this list for your in-store pursuits to make sure you’re staying on track, removing what you get as you secure it.

Desktop or app?

After making the choice to shop digitally, you then have to decide if you’ll shop by desktop or app. It’s a personal preference as Walmart hasn’t stated that there are any app-only deals at the moment. If you don’t already have the app and have found that to be a rewarding experience shopping elsewhere, then you’ll want to download it and get familiar with its functionality.

Get yourself some cash back.

As you might make some big-ticket purchases over the Deals for Days timeframe, choosing your payment method and getting the most value from your shopping experience is important. Whether that’s a credit card that gives you cash back for your purchases or investing in a Walmart credit card that you can use right away, take some time before the event kicks off to figure out what card will give you the biggest advantages in the long run.

Compare prices.

Getting the best savings is literally a numbers game and you should definitely shop around to make sure you’re getting the best price for a product before you press purchase. It will be hard to do this comparison in the moment when you’re hoping to snag an item and have no time to waste, so do your research beforehand, which will reveal how much it’s retailing elsewhere. During your experience, if you’re focused on just a couple of key must-haves, then you can have the products open in other tabs with other retailers to compare in real-time, as competitive price matching is real.
