Some (but not all) NC Walmart shoppers can get gas & grocery discounts soon

Walmart+ Week, the retailer’s annual week of discounts for members, begins Monday, April 28.

And while the Arkansas-based company offers a 30-day free trial, only those who pay for a membership will actually get to take advantage of the majority of advertised deals.

But there is one savings opportunity for free trial members.

A recent report showed Walmart was the top grocery store in both the Raleigh and Charlotte areas last year.

Here’s what to know.

Walmart+ week deals with free trial

If you don’t pay for a Walmart+ subscription, but you are a free trial member, you can save money at the gas pump.

During Walmart+ Week, which is April 28-May 4, Walmart+ members can get 50 cents off each gallon of gas at participating Exxon and Mobil stations. There are more than 11,000 participating stations, including in North Carolina.

There aren’t any restrictions on how much Walmart+ members can take advantage of this discount throughout the week.

Walmart+, which costs about $100 per year, offers members discounts on expedited grocery and pharmacy delivery, food from Burger King and Paramount+ streaming.

As of Wednesday, April 23, the average price of gas in North Carolina was $2.93 per gallon, below the national average of $3.17, according to AAA.

Keep in mind that if you sign up for a free trial of Walmart+, you will need to provide a method of payment, and it will be charged when the 30-day trial period concludes.

Walmart+ Week discounts on gas, food and delivery

Most of the offers are only available to paid members. A Walmart+ membership costs $98 per year.

Here’s what they can get during Walmart+ Week:

  • 50 cents off each gallon of gas at participating Exxon and Mobil stations
  • Up to two free Croissan’wich or Whopper Jr. sandwiches from Burger King each day with a $1 purchase
  • One free express delivery, with essentials and other items delivered in as soon as an hour
Walmart+ Week 2025, where members can save on gas and delivery, is April 28-May 4.
