Of course Walmart is holding an anti-Prime Day sale this October

Like clockwork, any time Amazon announces a Prime Day event, Walmart conveniently launches a counter sale.

This October appears to be no different.

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days , casually known as October Prime Day, is coming Oct.

6 and 7.

So it's no coincidence that Walmart is throwing its own week-long sale starting Oct.

5.

Walmart's sale is simply named Fall Deals and unlike Prime Big Deal Days, you don't need to be a Walmart+ member to shop.

However, most often with Walmart sales, members will get first dibs on deals.

It costs $98 per year for a Walmart+ membership, but you can try it out for 30 days for just a buck.

There's not a whole lot of info yet on Walmart's anti-Prime Day sale, but here's a breakdown of what we do know.

We'll update this story with more details as they become available.

When is Walmart's anti-Prime Day event? As the countdown on the sale's landing page shows, the Fall Deals event will kick off at midnight ET on Oct.

5.

While Amazon's event only lasts 48 hours, Walmart will keep the fun going for a full week, wrapping up on Oct.
