Walmart's Big Save Event aims to jump start the holiday shopping with Black Friday-like deals this month. This sale runs alongside this week's Amazon Prime Day online shopping celebration. 

So if you don't want to wait for Amazon's sale on October 13-14, sale, here's your chance to save early. Walmart's sale started Sunday, October 11 at 7 p.m. ET and runs through Thursday, Oct. 15. 

The sitewide sale offers discounts on some of today's best tech including laptops and tablets. Orders over $35 ship free and select products are eligible for free NextDay delivery. Walmart also offers contactless, curbside pickup from its nationwide Walmart and Neighborhood market stores. 

So why are Black Friday deals starting so early? Research shows that 87% of customers who shopped Walmart over the past six months plan to seek out deals earlier this year. 

“We’ve heard from our customers that many plan on starting their holiday shopping well before Black Friday, and that they’re looking for gifts that fit their current lifestyle,” executive vice president and chief merchandising officer of Walmart U.S., Scott McCall said in statement.

We'll be rounding up the best Walmart deals right here, so be sure to check back often for the latest discounts. Also, be sure to keep an eye on our Prime Day 2020 deals page for exclusive discounts from Amazon's big sale.
