Haven't bought Halloween candy yet? Walmart+ can get it to you in about an hour
GET HALLOWEEN CANDY IN AN HOUR: Waited too long to buy Halloween candy? A Walmart+ membership ($98/year) can get it delivered from a local store in about an hour, and it also includes perks like gas savings and a free streaming service.
Halloween is just a couple of days away, and if you're just now realizing your candy bowl is empty, you're probably not alone. The thought of going to a store right now and fighting over the last bags of fun-size candy sounds... awful. Luckily, if you have a Walmart+ membership, you might be able to save the day from your couch.
One of the big perks of Walmart+ is free, fast delivery from your local store. On its Halloween candy page, Walmart is showing delivery times like "as soon as 26 minutes." This means you can get those giant variety bags of Haribo, Nerds, Tootsie Rolls, or M&M's delivered in about an hour, all without having to put on real shoes.
If you're not a member and this last-minute candy rescue sounds tempting, a Walmart+ membership costs $12.95 per month or $98 for the year. In addition to dodging the crowds in the checkout line, you'll get savings on gas (10¢ off per gallon at over 13,000 stations), free returns from home (no more post office lines), and a free subscription to a streaming service — you can choose between Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential. So, it's a pretty good deal for procrastinators, but it's an even better deal if you'll actually use the other perks, too.
