Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, has slashed the price of its online subscription service in half for those on government assistance, a move that should help perk up membership.
The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer said the Walmart+ service will cost $49 a year, or $6.47 per month for those on Medicaid, Social Security, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (commonly known as food stamps) or other programs. Its regular membership costs $98 annually.
