Economic concerns — including inflation — have changed the spending habits for many this year. October marks the beginning of deals season for retailers going into holiday, and more than ever, customers are turning to online savings events to snag products on their wish lists for the best possible price. With a reputation for offering Every Day Low Prices all year round, customers are coming to Walmart to access deep discounts to thrive this holiday season. Seventy-three percent of Walmart customers surveyed believe they are getting the best possible deal when shopping at Walmart, in-store or online1.
