Only Free Stuff & Electronics...
You've probably seen the signs for Walmart+ and wondered, “Is this just another subscription, or is it something that could actually save me money?” With so many memberships out there, it's a fair question. The simple answer? If you shop at Walmart even semi-regularly, it just might be one of the smartest decisions you make for your budget this year.
Think of it as a membership that gives back in ways you don't expect—saving you time on grocery runs, cutting your gas bill, and even paying for your streaming services. Let's dive into what you really get and see if it makes sense for you. (All info is current as of Tuesday, June 10, 2025).
🛒 First, Let's Talk About the biggest Perk: Delivery & Shipping
This is the core of Walmart+ and where most people find the biggest value. It completely changes how you shop for everyday essentials.
- Free Grocery Delivery from Your Store: This is the game-changer. You can order groceries and essentials online and have them delivered to your door as soon as the same day, with no delivery fees (as long as your order is over $35). Think of all the time and impulse buys you save by not having to go into the store!
- Free Shipping with No Minimum: For everything else on Walmart.com, you get free shipping with no order minimum. Need just one small thing? No problem. It ships for free. This is Walmart's answer to Amazon Prime's free shipping.
- Returns from Home: Hate dealing with returns? With Walmart+, you don't have to. They will literally come to your house to pick up the item you want to return. No printing labels, no boxing it up. It's amazing.
🚗 The Unexpected Savings: Gas, Car Care & Travel
This is where the membership starts to pay for itself in surprising ways.
- Save 10¢ on Every Gallon of Gas: You get a discount of 10 cents per gallon at over 13,000 gas stations nationwide, including Exxon™, Mobil™, and of course, Walmart and Murphy stations. If you drive a lot, this adds up incredibly fast.
- Free Tire Repair: Members get free flat tire repair and a road hazard warranty on tires purchased at Walmart Auto Centers. One flat tire can literally pay for half a year of membership.
- Get Paid to Travel: When you book trips through Walmart+ Travel (which is powered by Expedia), you can earn up to 5% back in Walmart Cash, which you can then spend in-store or online.
🎬 And Then There's All the FREE Entertainment...
This is the part that makes Walmart+ a serious competitor to other memberships. You don't just get savings; you get a whole bundle of free subscriptions that would cost a fortune separately.
- A Free Paramount+ Subscription: You get the Paramount+ Essential plan included with your membership. That means thousands of movies, hit shows like *Yellowstone* spinoffs, and live sports. This alone is worth $60 a year.
- Free Video Game Access: You get 5 free months of Apple Arcade, which has hundreds of games with no ads or in-app purchases.
- Free News & Fitness: The perks also include 3 months of Apple News+ and 6 months of the Crunch+ Fitness app for online workouts.
- And Even More: On top of all that, there are often extra perks like 25% off Burger King® orders and access to 24/7 pet care through Pawp.
🤔 So, What's the Verdict? Is It Worth It?
Let's do some simple math. A Walmart+ membership costs $98 a year (or $12.95 a month). The free Paramount+ subscription is worth $60 a year. That means if the other perks—like free grocery delivery and gas savings—are worth just $38 a year to you (that's about $3 a month), then the membership pays for itself. If you order grocery delivery just once or twice a month, you're already coming out way ahead.
For most families who live near a Walmart, it's a total no-brainer. It saves you time, it saves you money on gas, and it throws in a free streaming service on top.
🚀 Try It For Yourself, Completely Free
The best way to know if it's right for you is to simply try it. Walmart+ offers a free 30-day trial that gives you access to almost all the benefits. You can see how much you use the grocery delivery, check out the gas savings, and start watching Paramount+ without paying a dime.
*Just a heads-up: Some limited-time perks are for paid members only. Be sure to check the full program details on the Walmart+ site.
