The best early Walmart Black Friday deals

Walmart is rolling out its Black Friday deals in two waves this year. The online part of The first wave is live now – but only if you have a Walmart+ membership. The sale begins at 5:00 p.m. ET for everyone else. The in-store portion of this first wave begins November 15th.

While Walmart is promoting this as a big sale with discounts of up to 70%, I was half expecting warmed-over deals on off-brand items. I’m actually surprised at how good some of the deals are, so far removed from Black Friday proper. You can find great prices on big-ticket brand items like AirPods, Xbox Series X, and more. Here’s what’s on sale now at Walmart.

Walmart+ Early Black Friday Deal

Tech – Walmart Early Black Friday 2024 Deals

Beats Solo 3 wireless headphones are almost half price. That’s a good deal, but it’s worth noting that this is the 2019 model and you can currently find the newer Solo 4 headset on sale for $129.99 at Best Buy. I would be surprised if the 4 mark didn’t fall even further just before Black Friday.

TV – Walmart Early Black Friday 2024 Deals

Anyone looking for a TV deal can save over $100 on a variety of models. The giant 75″ TCL S4 is on sale for $378while a more modest price 50″ Hisense set is only $138. You’ll likely find similar discounts on higher-end TVs closer to Black Friday, but if you need a TV now, these are good deals.

Gaming – Walmart Black Friday 2024 Deals

Black Friday usually offers a huge flood of gaming deals. That’s not the case with this early sale, but you can still snag some good deals on Xbox, PS5 and Nintendo Switch. And if you’re a PC gamer, the Samsung Odyssey monitor is a killer deal.

More Walmart+ Early Black Friday deals

If air fryers are your thing, this is hard to beat Gourmia model on sale for $35. There is no MSRP or model number listed, which makes me think this is a “Black Friday only” item, meaning you won’t be able to find any reviews for it. You will need to take a flyer about this fryer with you to pick up.

The rest of the range is still great to browse if you want to get a head start on your Christmas shopping. The offers may not always be from brands you know, but they may be. However, if you want bigger discounts on more popular items, you should probably wait for the second wave of sales.

When will the second wave of Walmart’s Black Friday 2024 sale take place?

The next wave of Walmart’s Black Friday 2024 sales begins on Monday, November 25th. Like the first wave, it will be available early for Walmart+ members (beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET). Non-members can start selling at 5:00 pm ET the 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 29th this year. Maybe then we’ll see even bigger deals on items like PS5 consoles and more.

After that, a final wave of offers will start online on December 1st. This is Walmart’s Cyber ​​Monday 2024 sale. In previous years, this sale has had very similar offers to the Black Friday sale. Since the Cyber ​​Monday sale is only available online, there is no in-store component.
