This is not a drill: Walmart+ memberships are 50% off for two days only

SAVE $49: Through Nov. 3 at 11:59 p.m. ET, first-time Walmart+ members can save 50% on an annual subscription, bringing the yearly price down to just $49.99.Walmart has some good news and bad news, holiday shoppers.Let's get the bad out of the way first, which is that early access to the store's online Black Friday Deals for Days events is once again paywalled. Members of the retailer's Walmart+ program get first dibs starting at 12 p.m. ET on Nov. 7, and if last year is any indication, many deals will sell out long before the sale opens to the public at 7 p.m. ET. (Think $159 AirPods Pro, a $79 HP Chromebook, and a $398 65-inch LG 4K smart TV — real wishlist-worthy stuff.)As for the good: Annual Walmart+ subscriptions are half off for new members through Nov. 3 at 11:59 p.m. ET. SEE ALSO: Walmart's Black Friday deals are already trickling in — these are the best ones so far This is an extremely worthwhile offer, and not just because it saves you $49 or scores you Black Friday access before the masses. It also unlocks a plethora of additional exclusive benefits, including:a free Paramount+ Essential subscription (valued at $4.99/month or $49.99/year), which is active for the duration of your Walmart+ membershipa free six-month Spotify Premium subscription (valued at $9.99/month)free shipping with no order minimumfree delivery from your local Walmart store on orders of $35 or moresavings on fuel at over 14,000 locations nationwide, including Exxon, Mobil, Walmart, and Murphy gas stations (up to 10 cents/gallon)access to the Walmart mobile app's Scan & Go featurea $15 Lyft credit (while supplies last)It's very rare to see a discount equivalent of six months free on a major retailer's membership program — Amazon and Best Buy have never offered 50% off Prime or Totaltech subscriptions for first-timers (respectively), for comparison's sake. If you've mulled over the idea of signing up for Walmart+ before, consider this a sign from the shopping gods.
