Before the chaos. With early access for everyone, and not just Walmart+ members. Need we say more?  🙌🏼


Here are 10 Walmart Holiday deals you don’t want to miss:

I get excited for Black Friday, but honestly, with so many people shopping all at once, I’m always that person who worries:  what if they run out? 😬

I grabbed the prices I needed, while slowly crossing off my gift list so I don’t feel overwhelmed once the shopping season picks up. That leaves me more time to make holiday memories with the fam than holiday shopping stress. Thanks, Walmart! ❤️

    The Pokemon Advent currently available (11:37 central time) appears to be a 3rd party seller with lower ratings. Buyer beware!

      Thanks for sharing! It seems that one is fulfilled by Walmart. Hoping that helps! 💞

    • A. Smith

      I caught that too PokeMom. I decided not to get it. Target will usually have it on sale at some point soon.
