When a new Prime Day sale gets announced, it's just a matter of time until other retailers get in on the savings. Prime Big Deal Days, aka Amazon's October Prime Day, is coming Oct. 7 and 8, and Walmart is conveniently launching a week of deals starting Oct. 7. And no, that timing is not a coincidence.
Walmart doesn't have a flashy mouthful of a title to the sale like Prime Big Deal Days, but they are teasing lots of good deals. Unlike Prime Big Deal Days or Target's Circle Week, which require you to be a member of the brand's insider program to shop the deals, you don't need to be a Walmart+ member to shop — however, members will get an extra five hours of deals.
While the sale hasn't officially started, on the sale's landing page, Walmart is teasing what's to come. We're expecting tech deals from Apple, home deals up to 50% off, and TV deals from Vizio and LG. Until the sale officially starts tomorrow, here are the best deals we've rounded up at Walmart.
Early Walmart Deals
Being one day out from the official start to Walmart's sale, it's hard to say what are early deals and what will hang around through Oct. 12. While we wait for Oct. 7, here are the best early deals we've found.

Why we like it
The early Walmart deals are slim pickings, but we found a gem with this Samsung gaming monitor. The curved gaming monitor spans 27 inches and with a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response, it provides ultra smooth displays. It features AMD FreeSync technology, to prevent image tearing and HDR10 supports a luminous background.
The Samsung 27-inch Odyssey G55C curved gaming monitor is down to $179 at Walmart, saving $70 off its $249 price tag. That saves you 28%, not to mention, it's about $20 cheaper than a similar model listed on Amazon.

When is Walmart's anti-Prime Day sale?
Walmart's anti-Prime Day sale kicks off on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 12 AM ET. It will run for a full week, wrapping up on Oct. 12. That's much longer than Prime Big Deal Days which will run for just 48 hours on Oct. 7 and 8.
Walmart's sale will actually start a bit earlier for Walmart+ members, who can start shopping the sale Oct. 6 at 7 PM ET.
Do you need to be a Walmart+ member to shop?
This time, you don't need to be a Walmart+ member to shop the seller's deals. The deals will be available to all shoppers on Oct. 7, however, members do get a head start. Walmart+ members can start shopping Walmart's deals on Oct. 6.
This sale is different from Walmart+ Week, which is a members only event and rather than focusing on product deals, it's centered on special services.
