5 Reasons Why A Walmart+ Membership Just Makes Sense

For starters: A Paramount+ subscription is included at no additional cost.

Written by Wendy Rose Gould

From gas prices that make your eyes roll to a soaring housing market to notable price spikes on necessities like groceries and home goods, life certainly is expensive right now. (And don’t even get me started on the skyrocketing costs of life-giving niceties, like having a simple meal out with bae, nabbing a new outfit, or planning a memory-making weekend getaway.)

When things get hairy money-wise, one of the most important things you can do is make purchases that deliver a big bang for your buck. That means making savvy choices like bulk-buying essentials you know you’ll use and prioritizing high-value purchases — like a Walmart+ membership — that’ll save money and time while adding to the quality of your life.

Walmart’s membership program is absolutely loaded with benefits that’ll impact your day-to-day life. I’m talking about everything from free grocery delivery to discounts on fuel to top-notch streaming with a Paramount+ subscription* at no additional cost.

1. It’s Super Affordable

You’d think that a membership that offers as many benefits as Walmart+ would cost you a mighty penny, but it’s actually really affordable. A membership only costs $12.95 a month, or you can opt for an annual pass which runs $98 (a savings of $57). Even better, you can try a Walmart+ membership for 30 days for free to make sure it works for your needs.

2. Free Grocery Delivery

Praise be to the rise of grocery delivery. With a Walmart+ membership, this service comes free* — and with no sneaky price markups that some delivery services think they’re getting away with. (A loaf of basic bread for $7 or a $4 tomato? I’m not falling for it!)

Grocery delivery not only saves time, but it also helps you meal plan more efficiently since you’re not distracted by unnecessary items or those tantalizing check-out goodies.

3. Walmart+ Now Includes A Paramount+ Subscription

Walmart+ members now get a Paramount+ subscription*, too. The popular streaming platform has over 40,000 episodes, movies, live sports, and more — including some exclusive and original stuff you won’t be able to access elsewhere. (Basically, there’s no way you and your family won’t be entertained.)

4. Free Shipping (With No Order Minimum)

The membership also includes free shipping* with no order minimum on basically everything else sold on Walmart.com, which is essentially a double-win since the retailer is known for its everyday low prices. So that viral outfit or beauty product you discovered on social media? It’s yours. A new plant baby you absolutely need to add to your collection? Consider it done. Your entire holiday shopping list? Checked and double checked.

*Excludes most Marketplace items, location, & freight surcharges.

5. Savings On Fuel

Another major benefit of a Walmart+ membership is that you get up to 10 cents off every gallon of gas at over 14,000 stations nationwide*. That means less eye rolling and groaning at the pump and more money in your pocket after a fill-up.

*Fuel discount varies by location & station, subject to change.
