On Monday, April 29, a special privilege awaits Walmart+ members. They will gain exclusive access to a number of new and limited-edition products through an online-only shopping event, a unique opportunity not available to the general public.

From 12 p.m. ET on Monday, April 29, through 12 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 30, Walmart+ members can participate in the big box chain’s Early Access event. During the event, they’ll have the opportunity to shop a variety of grocery items, including special releases from brands like Chips Ahoy, Doritos, and Duncan Hines.

“We already know that our members love what Walmart+ has to offer, be that groceries or gifts combined with the ultimate in speed and convenience,” a Walmart spokesperson told Food & Wine in a statement. “We wanted to create an early access event that’s new and fun and celebrates our Walmart+ members by giving them more of what they love in a way that’s uniquely Walmart.”

For the uninitiated, Walmart+ is the Arkansas-based retail giant’s membership program. Members pay a fee — either $12.95 per month or $98 per year — and are eligible for a number of perks, including free grocery delivery from their local Walmart, discounted fuel prices at participating locations, and use of Walmart’s scan-and-go service, which allows them to scan items while they shop.

And if you’re not currently a member, check your credit card benefits. Some cards, including the American Express Business Gold and American Express Platinum, give cardholders a monthly statement credit to cover the cost of Walmart+ membership.

On Monday, some of the items available for purchase through the Early Access link, which goes live at 12 p.m. ET, include:
