The first round of Walmart Black Friday sales starts this weekend, but one noteworthy discount has already kicked off. For a limited time, new subscribers can pick up one year of Walmart+ for half the price. So instead of paying $98, you'll pay just $49 for the first 12 months of your subscription.
This may not seem like a streaming deal at first glance, but once you factor in the benefits of a Walmart+ membership, this discount starts to look pretty great. With a membership you'll get a choice between a Peacock Premium subscription or a Paramount+ subscription in addition to free shipping and grocery delivery. It's one of the best streaming bundles out there for anyone who shops at Walmart and the 50% discount makes it worthwhile for just the streaming savings alone.
Streaming Service Savings Breakdown
While we do expect more Black Friday streaming deals to arrive later this month, there aren't currently discounts on Peacock or Paramount+ annual subscriptions currently available. So with that in mind, I think it's worth breaking down the savings you'll get on just those subscriptions with this deal.
- Peacock Premium (no ads) - $109.99 annually (Save $60.99 with Walmart+)
- Paramount+ Basic (with ads) - $59.99 annually (Save $10.99 with Walmart+)
It's pretty clear just looking at the prices that choosing the Peacock Premium subscription will net you the most savings. But it's worth noting that Walmart+ actually gives you the option to change your subscription for free every 90 days. So if you start with Peacock Premium, you can switch to Paramount+ about three months in. With an annual subscription you can swap services up to four times before the year is up.
What's on Peacock?
Peacock isn't as well known as a Netflix or Disney+, but it does have some really good originals worth noting. Most recently there is The Paper, a spin-off series from the creators of The Office. There's also the popular mystery series Poker Face that I actually binged myself and loved. In addition to originals and popular TV shows, Peacock also tends to have exclusive rights to some popular new movies like Jurassic World Rebirth. If you've never had a Peacock subscription before there is a surprisingly deep catalog of things for you to stream there.
What's on Paramount+?
Paramount+ is the home of pretty much anything Paramount. That means you'll find things like the Mission Impossible movies, Transformers, and the entirety of the Star Trek Universe. It is also the new home of South Park, meaning it's the only place you can stream new episodes of season 28 as they air. You'll also find popular shows like Dexter and SpongeBob as well as originals like Yellowjackets. Walmart+ only gets you access to a basic subscription, however, so you'll need to deal with ads. There is currently a free trial of Paramount+ you can try if you want to test it out before committing to an annual subscription.
