Streaming services grow more expensive by the year, and you may be hesitant to commit to a full month or year just to check out a couple of shows. But I found a deal that will let you try either Peacock or Paramount+ for a full 30 days for just $1, and it’s from a surprising source: Walmart.

Right now, you can sign up for a month of Walmart+ (basically Walmart’s version of Amazon Prime) for just $1, and not only get your choice of Peacock or Paramount+ streaming service, but also free grocery and pharmacy delivery, free next-day and two-day shipping, $0.10 a gallon savings on gas, and more with your membership. If you don’t want to continue, just cancel before the 30 days are up, and you won’t be charged more than $1. 

If you do want to continue, Walmart+ costs $12.99 a month or $98 for the year — which is still cheaper than a Peacock Premium yearly subscription ($110 annually) and close to a Paramount+ Essential annual plan ($90 a year), plus you get the added Walmart benefits. If you’re a frequent Walmart shopper, this membership is a good deal.

Students and those who receive government assistance may be eligible for a 50% discount, dropping the price of Walmart+ to $49 a year or about $6 a month.

Peacock is home to NBC shows like The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, along with originals like The Traitors and Love Island: Beyond the Villa, and much more. Paramount+ includes content from Comedy Central, Showtime, and Nickelodeon, including South Park, Yellowstone, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

How I rated this deal 

Even though this deal is for a one-month trial, getting a month of access to free delivery and shipping, gas discounts, a streaming service, and more is still great. I gave it a 4/5 editor’s deal rating.
