Walmart is rolling out its Black Friday deals in two waves this year. The online portion of the first wave is live now. The in-store portion of this first wave will begin November 15. While Walmart is advertising this as a major sale with discounts up to 70% off, I half expected warmed-over deals on off-brand items. I'm actually surprised by how good some of the deals are this far out from actual Black Friday. You can find some great prices on big-ticket brand-name items, like AirPods, Xbox Series X, and more. Here’s what’s on sale now at Walmart.
Most Popular Walmart Early Black Friday Deals
- Samsung 34 Odyssey Gaming Monitor – $229 (was $550)
- CyberPowerPC Gamer Superme Desktop – $1199 (was $1570)
- Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) – $94 (was $165)
- Samsung 55" UHD 4K Smart TV – $298 (was $348)
- GTRacing 55 Large RGB Gaming Desk – $60 (was $200)
If you want a TL;DR of the most popular deals in the sale so far, look no further. According to our records, these are the bestselling items on sale now.
TV Deals
55” SAMSUNG DU6900 Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV
75” TCL S4 (75S41BR) 4K UHD HDR LED Smart TV with Roku TV
55" LG B3 4K UHD OLED Web OS Smart TV
65" SAMSUNG Q60DB QLED 4K Smart TV
SAMSUNG 65” Class DU6900 Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV
85” SAMSUNG DU7200B Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV
Anyone in the market for a Black Friday TV deal can save $100+ off a a variety of models. The giant 75" TCL S4 is on sale for $378, while a more modestly priced 50" Hisense set is just $138. You’ll likely find similar discounts on higher quality TVs closer to Black Friday, but if you need a TV now, these are decent deals.
Walmart+ Early Black Friday Deal
Walmart+ 12-Month Membership
Arguably the best deal in this first wave of Walmart’s Black Friday sale is a hefty 50% price cut on a 12-month Walmart+ membership. The membership normally costs $98, but right now you can get it for $49. In addition to early access to both waves of Black Friday deals, a Walmart+ membership gets you quite a few other benefits.
You get free shipping from the website with no minimum order amount, and free delivery on $35+ orders from stores (groceries and whatever else your local Walmart sells). It also includes a subscription to Paramount+, discounts at Burger King, savings on fuel at select stations, and more. This is a great deal that will likely pay for itself pretty soon if you shop at Walmart regularly.
Tech Deals
Apple AirPods (3rd Generation)
Apple Watch Series 10 GPS 42mm
Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones
Apple AirTag
SAMSUNG 34" Odyssey G55T WQHD 165Hz 1ms(MPRT) HDR Curved Gaming Monitor
HP Victus 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop
Beats Solo 3 wireless headphones are nearly half price. That’s a good deal, but it’s worth noting that they’re the 2019 model and you can get the newer Solo 4 headset on sale for $129.99 at Best Buy right now. I’d be surprised if the 4’s didn’t drop even lower closer to Black Friday.
Gaming Deals
SAMSUNG 34" Odyssey G55T WQHD 165Hz 1ms(MPRT) HDR Curved Gaming Monitor
PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset
Microsoft Xbox Series X 1TB
Sony PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller – Sterling Silver
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Switch)
Black Friday typically has a massive deluge of gaming deals. That's not the case yet in this early sale, but you can still score some decent deals on games for Xbox or PS5. Nintendo already released the Switch Black Friday bundles, and we expect Walmart will be a great place to find discounted Switch games. If you're a PC gamer, that Samsung Odyssey monitor is also a killer deal.
LEGO Deals
LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Advent Calendar 2024
LEGO Disney Advent Calendar 2024
LEGO Friends Advent Calendar 2024
LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone
LEGO Icons Atari 2600
LEGO Minecraft The Sword Outpost
LEGO Technic Bugatti Bolide Race Car
We've all noticed LEGO sets getting more expensive, though apparently that's due to "more pieces" and "complicated builds." Either way, Black Friday is always a great time to find LEGO sets on sale, and Walmart is not disappointing in that department. Some of our favorite Marvel and Disney-themed sets are included in the discounts.
Other Deals
GTRACING Gaming Chair Office Chair
Gourmia 8-Quart Digital Window Air Fryer
Keurig K-Express Essentials Matte Black Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker
Nestl Bed Sheet Sets, 1800 Series Deep Pocket 4 Piece Bedding (Queen)
Anchor Hocking 30 Piece Glass Food Storage Containers & Glass Baking Dishes Set
Intex 10" Queen Standard Dura-Beam Airbed Mattress with Built in Pump
If air fryers are your thing, it’s hard to beat this Gourmia model on sale for $35. It doesn’t have an MSRP or model number listed, which makes me think it’s one of those “only available during Black Friday” items, which means you can’t find reviews for it. You’ll have to take a flyer on this fryer you want to pick it up.
The rest of the sale is still great to browse if you want to get a head start on your holiday shopping. The deals might not always be from brands you recognize, but they might be. That said, if you want bigger discounts on more popular items, you’ll probably want to wait for the second wave of the sale.
When Is the Second Wave of Walmart’s Black Friday 2024 Sale?
The next wave of Walmart’s Black Friday 2024 sale will begin on Monday, November 25. Like the first wave, it will be available early for Walmart+ members (starting at noon ET). Non-members will be able to start shopping the sale at 5pm ET that same day. And if you want to shop in-store for this wave, you’ll have to wait for Black Friday itself, which lands on November 29 this year. Maybe then we'll see even bigger deals on items like PS5 consoles and more.
After that, a final wave of deals will kick off online on December 1. That’s Walmart’s Cyber Monday 2024 sale. In years past, this sale has offered very similar deals to the Black Friday sale. And it’s online only, so there’s no in-store component to the Cyber Monday sale.
