Table of contents

UPDATE: November 28, 2024, 3:12 p.m. EST We’ve updated this story with additional information on four of our top picks.

Walmart’s second Black Friday Deals event kicked off Monday, November 25, with a $178 55-inch 4K Roku TV, $29 JBL noise-cancelling headphones, and new record low prices for multiple Apple devices.

The deals are available online and on the Walmart mobile app through Sunday, December 1, unless they sell out beforehand — although some items that disappeared earlier in the week were back in stock at the time of writing. This includes $30 worth of digital copies The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for $49.

Select offers from the sale will land in Walmart stores on November 29th at 6 a.m. local time, which is Black Friday.

The big box store joined other major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and Target in dropping Black Friday deals long before the actual holiday. On November 11th, the company launched its first round of door openers.

Mashable’s team of deal-hunting pros knows how to distinguish good discounts from boring ones (they’ve been covering Black Friday sales since 2017), and we keep an ongoing list of Walmart’s best holiday deals on popular tech and gifts in this season. This includes TVs, laptops, headphones, gaming gear, vacuum cleaners, beauty tech and Legos.

Keep scrolling to see our picks — and check back often, as Walmart plans to randomly offer more deals during its Black Friday Deals event throughout the week. A quick note: Walmart does not price match, but its extended return/exchange policy is in effect through December 31st. They apply to most items purchased in stores and online.

Note: All newly added or updated offers have been marked with a ✨while crossed out Offers were sold out at the time of writing.

Best Apple offer

Why we like it:

Apple’s current entry-level smartwatch is due out in 2022 and features activity tracking, high/low heart rate alerts, accident detection and a fairly long battery life – in our tests it lasted just over 27 hours per charge. (Mashable tech editor Kim Gedeon recommends it to “fitness-focused” users.) Walmart has beaten everyone else to the price of the smaller 40mm non-cellular size, except Amazon, which is offering its $100 discount during its own Black -Friday sales equates. Last time we checked, it was $169 at Best Buy and $169.99 at Target. Your color options are Midnight and Starlight.

Best TV offer

Why we like it:

This is easily the cheapest TV deal we’ve seen in the 55-inch size category this Black Friday season, and the competition is pretty damn stiff. Best Buy’s cheapest competitor is a similar $179.99, while Amazon’s cheapest option costs $299.99 – although that model has a nicer, brighter QLED display. (If you want to switch to QLED, Walmart is still better than Amazon: A 55-inch QLED 4K TV, also from Hisense, costs $288 at the big box store.)

Best gaming offer

Why we like it:

Read Mashable’s full review of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The breathtaking sequel to Breath of the Wild was one of Mashable’s favorite games of 2023, and it’s never been cheaper. (It actually sold out once at this price earlier in the week; at the time of writing, it was back in stock.) Note that Walmart’s offer only applies to digital copies of ToTKwhich means you get nothing to pack – except you will You can start playing immediately.

Game consoles and bundles

Note: The Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Holiday packages are both cheaper Goal and best Buyso avoid buying at Walmart unless they are out of stock elsewhere.

Best Deal on Headphones/Earbuds

Why we like it:

Full disclosure: Our initial reaction to this deal was: Is that allowed? $29 is a surprisingly and stupidly low price for a really solid, comfortable budget pair of headphones with good noise cancellation and long battery life. (JLab rated them at up to 70 hours; we’re currently testing them and think that’s accurate.) Elsewhere, the JBuds Lux ANC are available for $46.99 on Amazon and $49.99 on the JLab website , so no idea how Walmart managed one. Choose from four colors: Graphite, Cloud, Green and Purple.
