Walmart+ is a less expensive alternative to Amazon Prime
Inflation strikes again: Amazon Prime membership rates have gone up. The cost of an annual Prime membership has increased from $119 to $139. Monthly subscribers, meanwhile, now pay $14.99 a month instead of $12.99. Prices increased for current subscribers in March 2022.
If you're looking for a money-saving alternative to Amazon Prime, you may want to consider Walmart+. The service, which also offers quick and free shipping with no minimum purchase, is priced at $12.95 per month or $98 per year.
Walmart+ is currently offering a 30-day free trial, if you'd like to test it before canceling your Amazon Prime membership. Note that only paid subscribers can take advantage of early-access deals and PS5 restocks, though.
