Walmart is kicking off its holiday shopping season earlier than ever, with a 'Holiday Deals' event scheduled from October 8 to 13, responding to nearly 50% of consumers who start shopping as early as August and September. This year, shoppers will enjoy an extended six-day event, featuring significant discounts on a wide range of products, including electronics and fashion. Additionally, Walmart is reintroducing its inflation-free holiday meal, available from October 14 to December 25, priced lower than last year to help families celebrate affordably. The retailer is also expanding its same-day delivery services to reach 12 million more households, enhancing convenience for shoppers. These initiatives come amid a highly competitive holiday retail environment, with similar promotions planned by Amazon and Target during the same period. Experts predict that eCommerce sales will remain strong, as consumers seek budget-friendly options amid ongoing inflation concerns.
