Walmart+ Is Half Price Right Now — Here’s Why Southern Families Should Jump On It
If you’ve been on the fence about Walmart+, this is the nudge you needed. Right now, select Walmart accounts can snag a 1-year Walmart+ membership for just $49 — that’s 50% off the regular $98/year price. It’s one of the better membership deals we’ve seen this year, and for families who already shop at Walmart regularly, it practically pays for itself.
What You Actually Get
Walmart+ isn’t just about free delivery (though that’s a big part of it). Here’s what’s packed into the membership:
- Unlimited free grocery delivery from your local Walmart store — no per-delivery fees on orders $35+
- Fuel discounts at Walmart, Murphy USA, Murphy Express, and Sam’s Club fuel stations
- Free shipping with no order minimum on Walmart.com
- Paramount+ Essential plan included at no extra cost
- Scan & Go in-store for a faster checkout experience
- Early access to deals and special sales events
For a family that makes even two grocery delivery orders a month, the savings on delivery fees alone can quickly offset the $49 cost.
Who This Deal Is Best For
This membership shines brightest for a few specific types of shoppers:
Suburban and rural families who drive a lot. If you’re filling up the tank at a Murphy USA or Walmart fuel station regularly, those per-gallon discounts add up fast — especially over a long Southern summer with road trips and back-to-school runs ahead.
Busy parents managing back-to-school season. We’re heading into the back-to-school ramp-up, and being able to order school supplies, clothes, and household basics with free delivery saves both time and gas money.
Cord-cutters or Paramount+ curious folks. The bundled Paramount+ Essential plan (normally around $6–7/month on its own) adds serious value here. If you were going to subscribe anyway, you’re essentially getting the Walmart+ perks for next to nothing.
Anyone already ordering from Walmart.com. Free shipping with no order minimum is genuinely useful if you’re buying everything from cleaning supplies to small appliances online.
How It Stacks Up
Amazon Prime runs $139/year. Sam’s Club membership is $50/year but is primarily a warehouse club with no grocery delivery. At $49 for a full year, Walmart+ undercuts Prime significantly, and for families who already shop at Walmart rather than Whole Foods, the ecosystem match is better too.
Important Caveats
A few things to know before clicking:
- This is for select accounts only. Not every Walmart account will see this offer — you’ll need to check your account at walmart.com/plus to see if you’re eligible.
- No specific expiration date has been published, but deals like this don’t stick around long. If you’re seeing $49 in your account, don’t sleep on it.
- Delivery minimums still apply ($35+ per order), so this isn’t a replacement for small, frequent orders.
Bottom Line
At $49 for a full year, Walmart+ is easy to justify for almost any family that shops at Walmart even occasionally. The fuel savings, free delivery, and Paramount+ bundle make the math work — and with back-to-school and summer road trips ahead, the timing couldn’t be better.
Check your account at walmart.com/plus to see if you’re eligible for the $49 offer. If you are, lock it in now.
