A Walmart+ Subscription Is Only $98 Annually & It’s Actually An Amazing Deal

If you feel like life has become increasingly expensive recently, you’re not alone. Whether you’re grabbing an iced coffee, shopping your beauty must-haves, or furnishing your outdoor space for summer, it can seem like you’re constantly spending money on something — and left with no choice but to pay swiftly rising prices for the products that make your life better.

But in a world of complicated payment plans and $20 salads, companies like Walmart are coming up with clever solutions to keep costs down and elevate the shopping experience for their customers. Meet Walmart+: a new kind of membership that allows you to save both time and money by ordering everything from toiletries to patio furniture at the same everyday low prices you love. Curious about how it works? Read on as The Zoe Report breaks down the cost and product benefits that make Walmart+ the one membership that’ll never go out of style.

The Price Breakdown

If you’re anything like me, a week doesn’t go by without having to place a beauty or skincare order. (Hey, it’s summer — that SPF and no-shine powder run out quick!) But for Walmart+ members, this constant stream of purchases won’t mean high shipping rates or endless trips to the store. Members receive free shipping from Walmart.com with no order minimum required, as opposed to a $35 minimum for non-members (excludes freight and Marketplace items). That means that for only $98 per year, you can place orders of any size from Walmart.com and enjoy free shipping.

And the prices couldn’t be better. TZR found some great deals on cult favorites, including Maybelline’s social media-famous Sensation Sky High Mascara that several retailers sold out of when it hit the market earlier this year. Even though it’s just $9, a Walmart+ membership means there’s no pressure to add other things to your cart when it comes time to replenish your mascara collection. No more doubling the price of a single item with shipping or ordering random, unnecessary products just to qualify for free shipping. And if you’re on the hunt for an even less expensive mascara with a similarly bold impact, look no further than the iconic Maybelline’s Great Lash Mascara, which is only $5 at Walmart.

The Product Breakdown

While I assume there must be an end to Walmart’s product inventory somewhere, I’ve never actually seen any evidence of it. You can peruse the site for hours (trust me, I have), browsing the latest releases in everything from haircare to home decor. And signing up for Walmart+ means this one-stop shop is just a few clicks away.

I looked to see how many of TZR’s blonde shampoo recommendations could be found at Walmart, and it turns out that the store carries a ton of options to beat brass. Shop John Frieda Violet Crush, L’Oreal Paris Elvive Color Vibrancy, and BIOLAGE ColorLast — along with just as many options for those without color-treated hair. I’m currently stocking up on Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner for weekend getaways and beach trips this summer.

And product selection doesn’t end with beauty. For those looking to prep their outdoor space for the summer months, Walmart+ offers free shipping on tons of patio furniture, which makes redecorating so much lighter of a lift (literally). Lean into the on-trend wicker look with these Noble House Anton Outdoor Woven Wicker Chairs, or go rustic-chic with this Better Homes & Gardens Roxbury Cushion Rocking Chair Set. Whether you’re setting the scene to host a garden cocktail party or just trying to make working from home a little more enjoyable, Walmart+ makes it easy to make the most out of summer.

TL;DR: The price savings and massive product selection available through Walmart+ make it the season’s one accessory you won’t want to live without.
