Walmart+ Weekend: Walmart's answer to Prime Day starts June 2

Walmart announced plans Wednesday to host a savings event rivaling Amazon Prime Day — and it's happening reallysoon.

Walmart+ Weekend will take place during the first weekend of June, beginning at 3 p.m. ET on June 2 and ending at 7 p.m. ET on June 5. There's a catch, though: You'll have to be a Walmart+ member to get access to any of the savings.

Luckily, it's really easy to sign up, and we think it's a worthwhile service even outside of Walmart+ Weekend. Membership perks include free shipping with no order minimums, free grocery delivery from your local Walmart store, early access to special promotions and events, and more.

While we don't know too much about what deals will be live during Walmart+ Weekend (though we'll let you know when we do), we are aware of a few, including 45% off the Keurig K Compact coffee maker, $200 off the Shark self-empty robot vacuum, and a restock of the coveted PlayStation 5.

If you're not a Walmart+ member yet, now is the time to become one, and if you have a physical Walmart location near you, you can score a $20 discount code toward your next purchase if you complete the sign-up process in-store.

We'll see you on June 2 for Walmart+ Weekend.
