You can save big on gas during Walmart+ Week: Members save on every gallon of gas but for a limited time
As a mom of four, I'm on the road a lot. Unfortunately, I drive a big gas-guzzling car to fit all those kids, which means I'm well acquainted with my local gas station. But I recently discovered a secret hack to help me save on gas: I signed up for Walmart+. Walmart+ members usually save 10 cents per gallon at 13,000+ gas stops nationwide, including at Exxon, Mobil, Walmart and Murphy stations. But during Walmart+ Week — which starts today and runs through June 23 — the retail giant is raising that discount to 20 cents at Exxon and Mobil stations. That means the Walmart+ Week gas deals are double when you fill up your car for the next seven days and I'm so here for it.
According to AAA, the average gas price is $3.45 a gallon. This past weekend, I drove three hours from home to visit family. Between the drive there and back — and all the driving I did while I was there — I had to buy two tanks of gas. My car's fuel tank capacity is about 21 gallons so that would have typically set me back around $150. But when I factored in my usual Walmart+ discount of 10 cents per gallon, I only ended up paying around $146. That's $4 of gas savings in just one weekend. Now that Walmart+ Week is here, I'd save even more. That same weekend would have cost me $142 — an $8 savings! Mind-blowing, right? If I fill up my tank even once a week, on average, I can save $100 a year on fuel with the 10 cent discount. And during Walmart+ Week, the double discounts make traveling by car even cheaper.
To get the discount, you need to download the Walmart app. From there, select member prices on fuel from your W+ membership page and follow the instructions. It's as simple as that! (Have questions while you're at the pump? Ask an attendant to help.) The discount applies to all fuel types and there’s no limit to how many gallons you can use the members-only price on.
Of course, there's a lot more to being a Walmart+ member than saving on gas. You also get free delivery from your local store, free shipping with no order minimum and video streaming with Paramount+. During Walmart+ Week, you'll score up to 20% Walmart Cash with Walmart+ Travel, a free three-month trial of Walmart+ InHome (which is when a trusted Walmart associate brings your delivery into your kitchen or garage) and one free Express Delivery in two hours or less.
No matter how you slice it, there's a lot of savings to be had as a Walmart+ member, during Walmart+ Week and beyond. Given how much time I spend in my car, and how many people are in and out of it on any given day, I'm using that extra money to make my driving experience a little more seamless. These Walmart products can definitely help.
