Walmart Promo Code & Coupons December 2025

More Ways to Stretch Your Budget at Walmart

Smart shoppers know that Walmart coupons are just the beginning when it comes to saving money. Between their Walmart+ membership perks, seasonal sales, and clever payment strategies, there are dozens of ways to cut your spending without cutting corners on quality. Whether you're stocking up for the holidays or just trying to make your grocery budget go further, these proven tactics will help you save more on every trip.

Apply a Walmart Promo Code, Step by Step

Getting your discount to show up at checkout is straightforward once you know where to look. Here's exactly how to apply any promo code you find:

1. Add eligible items to your cart — Make sure your items qualify for the specific offer, as some codes only work on certain categories or brands
2. Head to checkout — Click the shopping cart icon and select "Checkout" to begin the payment process
3. Look for the promo code box — You'll find it labeled "Promo Code" or "Discount Code" on the payment page, usually near the order summary
4. Enter your code carefully — Type or paste the code exactly as shown, watching for any spaces or special characters
5. Click "Apply" — The discount should appear immediately in your order total if the code is valid and your items are eligible
6. Complete your purchase — Double-check that the savings are reflected before finalizing your order

If your code isn't working, check the expiration date and make sure you meet any minimum purchase requirements. Some offers are limited to first-time customers or specific product categories, so read the fine print before you shop.

How Walmart+ Pays for Itself

Here's where Walmart gets really smart about helping you save money. Their Walmart+ membership costs $98 annually (just $8.17 per month), but it literally pays for itself if you shop there regularly. You get a free 30-day trial to test it out, and the perks start adding up immediately.

The Big Money-Savers

• Free delivery saves you $7.95-$9.95 per order on purchases over $35 — if you place just one grocery order per month, you're already breaking even
• Free shipping with no order minimum on everything from Walmart.com
• 10¢ per gallon gas savings at Walmart, Exxon, Mobil, and Murphy stations
• 25% off Burger King orders every single day

The Extra Perks

• Your choice of Paramount+ or Peacock streaming (you can switch every 90 days)
• Free pharmacy delivery with no order minimum
• 24/7 pet care through Pawp
• Scan & Go feature to skip checkout lines in stores
• Early access to Black Friday deals before they sell out

College students get an even better deal at $49 per year, and if you're on government assistance, you'll pay just $49 annually through Walmart+ Assist.

Seasonal Sales and Flash Deals Worth Watching

Walmart's Cyber Monday deals are bringing up to 50% off right now, covering everything from holiday essentials to tech gadgets. Their Holiday Shop is fully stocked with Christmas decor, trees, Hanukkah items, and those wonderfully ugly Christmas sweaters we all love. Stocking stuffers start at just $2, making it easy to fill up those stockings without emptying your wallet.

Keep an eye out for their flash deals and rollback prices throughout the year. Flash deals are limited-time offers that come and go quickly, while rollbacks are permanent price reductions — so you don't have to rush on those. Walmart+ members get early access to Black Friday deals, which means first dibs on the best savings before they sell out.

Smart Payment Strategies That Save You Money

Walmart's OnePay CashRewards Card can really add up if you shop there regularly. You'll earn unlimited 5% cash back on all Walmart purchases, plus 3% back on electronics and other select categories. Keep in mind this requires a separate application and approval — it's not automatic with Walmart+ membership. But if you spend $2,000 at Walmart annually (which many families do), you're looking at $100 in cash back.

They also accept a wide range of payment methods, including WIC cards, SNAP benefits, OTC benefit cards, and flexible spending accounts. This flexibility means you can use the payment method that works best for your situation while still taking advantage of sales and member benefits.

Free Shipping and Delivery That Actually Works

Regular customers can get free shipping on orders over $35, but Walmart+ members enjoy free shipping with no minimum order requirement. That's huge when you just need a few items and don't want to pay delivery fees that cost more than your actual purchase.

For groceries and essentials, Walmart+ members get free same-day delivery on orders over $35, or pay just $2.95 for same-day delivery on smaller orders. Express delivery is available in some areas for an additional fee when you need items in just a few hours.

The Scan & Go feature in their app is available to Walmart+ members and lets you skip checkout lines entirely — just scan items as you shop, pay through the app, and walk out. It's like having a personal express lane that saves you time and helps you avoid impulse purchases while waiting in line.

Returns Made Simple (And Free)

Walmart's return policy is refreshingly straightforward. You get 90 days to return most items, with some exceptions like electronics (30 days) and major appliances (just 2 days). The best part? Returns are free and easy, whether you shop online or in-store. Curious about the difference between online vs in-store shopping. Check out our Walmart shopping guide for more details.

Walmart+ members get an extra perk: free returns from home. They'll literally pick up your returns right from your doorstep — no repacking or printing labels required. You just need to be present for pickup, and it's limited to select locations and eligible purchases, but it's a huge time-saver when it's available.

Don't have your receipt? No problem. They can look up store purchases using your debit or credit card, or online orders with your phone number or email. Without a receipt, you'll need a valid government-issued photo ID, and refunds typically come back as a Walmart gift card.

Getting Help When You Need It

When you need help with your order or have questions about deals and promotions, Walmart's customer support team is ready to assist. You can chat with them directly through their website or app for quick answers to common questions.

• Live chat support — Available through Walmart.com and the Walmart app for immediate assistance
• Comprehensive help center — Self-service options for tracking orders, managing returns, and finding answers to frequently asked questions
• Account management tools — Easy access to your order history, Walmart+ benefits, and payment methods through your online account

Their help center covers everything from Walmart+ membership questions to return policies, making it easy to find answers without waiting for a representative. The chat feature is particularly useful during busy shopping periods when you need quick clarification on deals or delivery options.
