Black Friday Walmart deals: the shopping season has arrived

Share

Black Friday is just a couple weeks away, and as the date draws near, Walmart already has a ton of deals at the ready. And while there will surely be new deals that appear as Black Friday week approaches, you can easily get started on your holiday shopping list today if you’re so inclined.

I’ll be keeping an eye on all the deals Walmart releases over the next week or so, and include only the ones that are actually worth your hard-earned money. So, whether you’re just hoping for a PS5 restock or one of the best laptops, I have you covered.

Gaming

Xbox Series S 512GB + an extra controller

  • Normal price: $369

  • Deal price: $289

  • Discount: $80

Walmart: Xbox Series S deal

The Xbox Series S is already a great deal, getting you into the current generation of console gaming for under $300. And while new consoles have been hard to find so far this generation (which we help with for both PS5 and Xbox), Walmart has the affordable console on a nice little discount. You can get both the 512GB Xbox Series S and an extra controller for just $289 at Walmart right now, a full $80 cheaper than you would be spending to buy the two items separately. Heck, this bundle is $10 cheaper than just the console.

Home theater

  • Current lowest price: $98

  • Discount: Unknown

Walmart: Onn. 40" Roku TV deal

A 40-inch Roku TV for less than $100 is all you really need to know about this deal. Is it an amazing TV? Almost certainly not! Will it do whatever you need it to for the cost of a used TV on Craigslist? Yes. And it won’t last long at this price, so get it while the gettin’ is good.

  • Normal price: Unknown

  • Current lowest price: $49

  • Discount: Unknown

Walmart: RCA 480p projector deal

Walmart didn’t publish the normal price for this RCA 480p projector and 100-inch screen combo, so we don’t know what the discount is – other examples around the internet appear to be roughly at this price, however. So this one may not be a deal so much as a (very) cheap way to get a great big screen for movies at home.

LG 55-inch 4K TV

  • Normal price: Unknown

  • Current lowest price: $298

  • Discount: Unknown

Walmart: LG 55" 4K TV deal

Like the other home theater products in this sale, Walmart has chosen not to list the original price, which may indicate this isn’t necessarily a discount, just a good deal on a TV. This 55-inch LG 4K smart TV for under $300 won’t last long, so if you’re looking for something cheap and big, this is it.

Apple

Apple Watch Series 8

  • Normal price:  $399

  • Current lowest price: $349

  • Discount: $50 off (save 13%)

Walmart: Apple Watch Series 8 deal

The Apple Watch Series 8 is seeing its first real discounts, and starting at 12PM EST today, Walmart Plus members will get early access to this $50 discount. Mostly an incremental update over the Series 7, this watch does bring a couple of big updates to the Watch lineup, most notably a built-in temperature sensor and car crash detection. We would expect this deal to sell out quickly. Jump on this one before it’s gone.

AirPods Pro (1st Generation)

  • Launch price: $249

  • Current Walmart price: $159

  • Discount: $90 (save 36%)

Walmart: AirPods Pro (1st Gen) deal

These first-gen AirPods Pro may be technically out-of-date, but they’re still some of the best true wireless earbuds around, especially if you’re a big iPhone user. These unassuming earbuds won’t just provide top-notch audio, but will cancel out most ambient noise around you. And when you actually need to hear your surroundings, there’s a handy ambient mode that will ensure you won’t be hit by a car.

And with this early Black Friday Walmart deal, you can pick these up for just $159.

Home tech

  • Normal price: $299

  • Current lowest price: $119

  • Discount: $170 off (save 60%)

Walmart: Eufy RoboVac G32 deal

Eufy, the smart home tech company owned by Anker, makes some of the best affordable robot vacuums on the market, and right now you can pick up the Eufy RoboVac G32 for just $119. That’s a great price for a robot with the kind of features on this one – room mapping, voice or app control, even the ability to switch its suction power based on the type of floor it’s working on. This is an updated version of the G30, which I own and was impressed with when I reviewed it for Gizmodo.

Computers and tablets

HP 14-inch touchscreen Chromebook

  • Normal price: $299

  • Current lowest price: $179

  • Discount: $120 off (save 40%)

Walmart: HP 14" Chromebook deal

It’s time for a cheap Chromebook that doesn’t suck! This HP Chromebook features a 14-inch touchscreen, 64GB eMMC storage, and a snappy Intel Celeron processor. This would make a great gift for a loved one or a nice laptop for school-aged kids. It’ll also probably sell out fast, so take advantage while you still can!

Samsung Galaxy Tab A8

  • Normal price: $199

  • Current lowest price: $139

  • Discount: $60 off (save 30%)

Walmart: Galaxy Tab A8 deal

Behold, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, on sale for just $139 ahead of Black Friday. If you’ve already perused our Samsung Galaxy sale page but you didn’t quite see what you wanted, might we tempt you with this 32GB 10.5-inch tablet that packs Dolby Atmos sound for a beautiful handheld streaming experience?

HP 15.6-inch Intel Core i3 laptop

Credit: Walmart
  • Normal price: $599

  • Current lowest price: $249

  • Discount: $350 off (save 58%)

Walmart: HP 15" laptop deal

You won’t see this sale price last long. Normally listed at $599, this 15-inch HP laptop is already on sale at HP’s website for $399, but Walmart is blowing that sale price away, first for Walmart Plus members and then (if it hasn’t sold out yet) to everyone else. For just $249, you can pick up this Intel Core i3-powered Windows 11 laptop, with 8GB RAM, a fast 256GB SSD and hours of battery life for a full 58% off in this limited time early Black Friday sale.

Kitchen

  • Normal price: $199

  • Current lowest price: $99

  • Discount: $100 off (save 50%)

Walmart: Ninja Foodi deal

Aw yeah, it’s air fryer time! Pick up this Ninja Foodi air fryer for just $99 at Walmart in this early Black Friday deal! Like others in this sale, this won’t last long, so if you’ve been looking to dip your toe in the sublime waters of the air fryer world, your chance is now. A crispy foot is no good for anyone.

Ninja Supra 72oz blender and food processor

  • Normal price: $229

  • Current lowest price: $129

  • Discount: $100

Walmart: Ninja Supra deal

Whip up a tasty smoothie in a flash with the Ninja Supra 72oz blender and food processor kit. This 2-in-1 kit comes with a 1200-watt motor, 72oz ice crushing blender, and an 8-cup food processor bowl. You’ll get a stacked blade assembly for the blender pitcher, a dough blade, and a blade assembly for the two included 16 oz smoothie cups. I paid more for just the smoothie-making part of this system, and it’s one of the most important kitchen gadgets I own – this is a lot of gear for just $99, so don’t expect it to last long.

Wearable tech

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live earbuds

  • Normal price: $149

  • Current lowest price: $69

  • Discount: $80 off (save 54%)

Walmart: Samsung Galaxy Buds Live deal

Get you a pair of the best bean-shaped wireless noise-canceling earbuds on the market when you pick up the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live earbuds for the nice price of just $69 today. Compatible with Android and iOS phones, you’ll get the best experience when using these with a Samsung phone – luckily we’ve got you covered with the best prices on Samsung phones (among other products), so stock up on some gear!
