I just love Fujifilm’s Instax Mini instant cameras, and Walmart currently has a great deal on the Instax Mini 7+. You get the camera, plus a 10-pack of Instax film for just $49, down from the usual $59.
It’s available in pink, blue, red, green and purple, but for sheer kitsch value we’d go for pink. Come on — this isn’t a serious $2,000 camera made for chin-stroking obsessives; it’s about fun!
Fujifilm Instax Mini 7+ plus 10-pack of Instax film: was $59 now $49
Next up: it’s a Bluetooth speaker! Hurrah, our first one of the day. But you can never have too many Bluetooth speakers.
Anyway, this one is the JBL Flip Essential. Why Flip? Because you can listen to it on its side or upright. Why Essential? Because it’s really good. Why JBL? Well, because that’s who makes it. Fully waterproof and with a battery that’s good for up to 10 hours, it’s ideal for camping trips, festivals and long days in the sun… so no, you probably won’t use it much for a few months. But hey, it’s reduced to $59 at Walmart right now, so do your future self a favor and check it out.
JBL Flip Essential: was $99 now $59
I have a dog. He’s a one-year-old Labrador, and he sheds hair like it’s his favorite game (which it isn’t — destroying my possessions is his preferred entertainment).
This Hoover Pet Carpet Cleaner would therefore be just the thing for me, if I had carpets rather than hardwood floors. I don’t, so I won’t be buying it — but maybe you have carpets and a shedding dog, in which case the fact that Walmart has it for half price right now might be of interest.
Hoover Smartwash Pet Carpet Cleaner Machine: was $299 now $149
There are so many great TV deals out there that it can be hard to know where to start. Of course that’s where we can help.
For instance, the TCL 6-Series TV is our pick for the best overall value TV, and in our review we praised its impressive color and brightness, awesome HDR performance and overall quality — especially given the price.
It’s currently on sale at Walmart for $898, which is its lowest price ever.
TCL 65-inch 4K Mini-LED QLED Roku TV: was $1,299 now $898
We’re big fans of the Google Nest Mini here at Tom’s Guide — in fact we think it’s the best Google Home speaker you can get for less than $50. Except right now, it’s the best Google Home speaker you can get for less than $25, because Walmart has cut the price in half.
The Nest Mini is a great alternative to an Echo device, with the ability to answer questions, set timers, read the news, play music and much, much more. It makes a great addition to any smart home — and it’s so cheap right now you could easily buy a couple.
Google Nest Mini (2nd Gen): was $49 now $24
Looking for a new laptop? There are of course plenty of deals on MacBooks and Chromebooks, but what if you want something running Windows? Well, the 14-inch Gateway GWTN141-4RG could fit the bill.
It offers a surprising amount of power for its diminutive size, with a Core i5 CPU, 16GB RAM, and 256GB of storage. The screen is a 14.1-inch 1080p IPS LCD and it also has Tuned by THX Audio. Walmart has taken $250 off the usual price, dropping it to a bargain $449.
Gateway 14″ Laptop: was $699 now $449 @ Walmart
I’ve been a Fujifilm shooter for seven years now, going back to the X-T1, and I can say without any hesitation that the X-T4 is its best mirrorless camera yet. Well, unless you count the GFX range of Medium Format cams, but they’re several thousand dollars more expensive.
Anyway, the X-T4 is very, very rarely discounted, but right now Walmart has it for $1,499, a saving of $200 over the usual price.
This really is a fantastic deal, giving you one of the best mirrorless cameras around at a decent price.
Fujifilm X-T4: was $1699 now $1499
I’ve just bought an air fryer! I’d been thinking about it for ages, and Black Friday seemed like the perfect time to get one, seeing as there are more deals on them right now than on virtually any other product. Plus, I’ve been reading about how good they are on Tom’s Guide all week, and I’m as easily swayed as anyone.
What did I get? This Instant Pot Duo Air Fryer, reduced to $144 at Walmart. Far more than just an air fryer, it has 11 appliances in one, with a pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté pan, food warmer, sous vide, air fryer, roaster, mini oven, broiler, and dehydrator. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.
Instant Pot 8-Quart, Duo Crisp Air Fryer: was $199 now $144
Speaking of all things Roku, I’m delighted to see the Roku Streaming Stick 4K still available at Walmart for just $29. That’s $20 off the usual price of $49, saving you 40% on what we consider to be the best streaming device.
I’ve owned several of these and they never let me down: simply plug into your TV’s HDMI port and fire up Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video or virtually any other streaming service. Plus the remote also controls your TV volume and works without direct line-of-sight.
Roku Streaming Stick 4K: was $49 now $29
Would you buy a 720p TV in 2021? Well, not usually — but then again this one is available for less than $100!
Alright, so it’s unlikely to take pride of place in your lounge, but it’s just the thing for a kitchen or kids’ bedroom, with a 32-inch screen and Roku TV software onboard, giving you access to Netflix, Disney+ and all the other streaming services you could want.
Walmart currently has it on sale for $99, down from $168.
Onn 32″ Roku TV: was $168 now $99
OLED TVs are a hot item this Black Friday, with many models seeing big reductions. LG’s C1 range is one of our favorites, and this Walmart deal takes more than $200 off the price of the 48-inch model, bringing it down to $1,096.
What’s so special about it? Well, it packs in everything we love from the best TVs, like Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos sound, HDMI 2.1 and Nvidia G-Sync. Trust us, this is a killer deal.
LG 48″ C1 OLED: was $1,299 now $1,096
LED strip lights are a must for aspiring TikTokkers, but with so many of them to choose from, where to start?
Fortunately, we’ve compiled a guide to the best TikTok lights, and nestled in that list you’ll find the Daybetter LED Strip Lights. They’re fully adjustable, with dynamic light modes and also very affordable — particularly with this Walmart deal, which cuts the price from $44 to $33.
Daybetter LED Strip Lights (100ft): was $44 now $33
You can go a little snow blind looking for Black Friday deals but every so often something jumps out at you and screams BUY ME! And this is one of those occasions.
What could be more desirable than a Wamart-exclusive Funko Pop! tribute to AC/DC’s legendary Back in Black album? Absolutely nothing. This is it, Walmart wins Black Friday and I’m done <mic drop>.
Funko Pop! AC/DC Back in Black: was $59 now $39
Here’s your daily reminder that the AirPods Pro is still in stock at Walmart for $159.
We fully expected the AirPods Pro to have sold out by now at this price — it’s the cheapest Apple’s best wireless earbuds have ever been. But no, this awesome Black Friday deal is still going strong, so snap it up now while you still can.
Need a reminder of what’s so special about the AirPods Pro? Well how about active noise cancellation, a water- and sweat-resistance design, Spatial audio support and Transparency mode…
Apple AirPods Pro: was $249 now $159
I’m thinking of buying a Nintendo Switch for Christmas, though right now it seems unlikely I’ll even be able to find one in stock anywhere. Anyway, assuming I track one down, I’ll be buying it partly for my kids and I know they’ll enjoy the new Just Dance 2022.
We reviewed it last week, giving it 4 stars and describing it as “joyful,” so the fact that Walmart has three versions on sale right now is a bonus. You can buy the PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch games each for $25, reduced from $49. Bargain!
Just Dance 2022 for PS5: was $49 now $25
I don’t know how I feel about hoverboards. I mean for starters, there’s an honesty thing here — they don’t hover. My opinion on hoverboards was formed by Back to the Future, and these ones are not going to help you jump over a car and leave your nemesis face-down in a pile of manure.
But on the other hand people seem to like them, and I guess calling them horizontal-scooter-things doesn’t sound so good. Anyway, the Hover-1 Blast looks like a good one, and it’s reduced to $79 at Walmart, so if the tick the right box for you then go ahead and buy one, it’s not my concern.
Hover-1 Blast Hoverboard: was $118 now $79
I’ve always wanted to learn the guitar, but a lack of musical talent that saw my kicked out of choir at the age of five has always put my me off. Maybe this Beginner acoustic guitar starter kit is what I need?
The price is definitely right — Walmart has cut it from $99 to $54 right now — and it certainly has all I’d need to get going, with a bag, digital tuner, plectrums, strings, strap and more. Now all I need is to find a good deal on some lessons.
Beginner Acoustic Guitar Starter Kit: was $99 now $54
Morning all, Marc here taking over in the U.K. for a few hours. Fancy some ANC earbuds for less? The Galaxy Buds 2 have dropped to just $99 at Walmart.
We don’t rate these as highly as the Galaxy Buds Pro or AirPods Pro, but those alternatives both cost at least $50 more right now. And the Buds 2 have their plus points: in our review, we praised their sound, comfort and noise cancellation. For under $100, they’re definitely worth a look.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2: was $149 now $99
With the iPhone 13 now out and grabbing all the attention, the iPhone SE gets lost in the shuffle. That’s a shame because last year’s budget iPhone remains a solid buy, especially if you’re fan of compact phones.
Walmart’s phone sales for Black Friday include a $199 iPhone SE, half off what Apple charges for the device. Of course, Walmart’s price comes with a catch — the iPhone SE is tied to discount phone carrier Straight Talk, so you’re going to have to get your wireless service through that provider.
For some people that may be worth it. The biggest drawback to the iPhone is its high cost, which is something this Walmart Black Friday discount tackles head-on.
iPhone SE: $199 through Straight Talk
If you’re picking up a TV during your Black Friday shopping apree, don’t forget about getting a soundbar, too. Fortunately, those are also on sale, so you don’t have to worry about a decent soundbar busting your holiday shopping budget.
Take the Vizio 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar. It normally costs $128, but Walmart is dropping the cost of this Vizio soundbar to $69. Vizio has a number of entries among our rankings of the best cheap soundbars, so this figures to be another good bargain. The 32-inch soundbar can slide easily underneath most TVs, and it features two full-range speakers capable of providing sound at up to 20kHz. A 4.5” subwoofer supplies the bass.
Vizio 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar: was $128 now $69
Earlier, Walmart had cut the price on the iPad Air by $30, and there was much rejoicing. Right now, though, you can pick up the 10.9-inch 64GB iPad Air at a $60 discount. What do you think the reaction to that is going to be?
It’s likely to be the sound of a lot of people clicking on the buy button to grab the iPad Air for $539 if our monitoring of the best iPad Black Friday deals is anything to go by. A lot of iPad models are going in and out of stock,. and price breaks have been fairly modest so far. A $60 discount is something you want to jump on right away if you want an iPad Air. Every color is available at Walmart, save for the rose gold version.
iPad Air: was $599 now $539
There are fancier robot vacuums than the Shark Ion RV750, but if you’re looking for a bare bones device that’s easy to operate, you’ve found a good contender. Even better, Walmart is offering this Shark Ion model on sale during Black Friday, and the price is the lowest we’ve seen.
You can pick up the Shark Ion RV750 for $143, a savings of $156 off its regular price. For a budget robot vacuum cleaner, that’s a pretty substantial discount.
We wouldn’t recommend the Shark Ion IV750 for picking up pet hair, but it is good at dense masses, and the app is a snap to use. The vacuum cleaner also works with Google Home and Alexa.
Shark Ion RV705 robot vacuum: was $299 now $143
Samsung’s The Frame is more than just a TV, it’s a work of art. Actually, it’s hundreds of works of art, and you can have them all hanging on your wall! With an ultra-thin design that hangs flat against the wall like a framed painting, this 4K QLED smart TV looks beautiful on it’s own, but it can also access over 1,400 new and classic works of art from world-class museums and galleries. Pair it with an optional wooden trim, and it’s an entire art collection on one wall. But it’s also a Samsung smart TV, complete with Amazon Alexa voice control, a huge selection of apps, and any streaming service you like, including loads of free content. And when you’re not watching, that 4K QLED display can use its 100% color volume to add inspiration to whatever room it’s in.
Walmart has it for more than $500 off.
Samsung The Frame: was $2,199 now $1,629
Motorized repeat fire system. 8 rounds per second. 50 round hopper. Total Nerf domination. (The package say it’s for ages 14 and up, but I don’t see an upper limit listed.) The Perses MXIX-5000 Nerf Rival Motorized Blaster is party of Nerf’s paintball inspired Rival line, but it looks as much like something from a sci-fi flick as it does from the toy aisle. And with a battery powered system that can quickly blow through 50 Nerf ball pellets, it’s the quickest path to Nerf war victory you’re likely to find.
The toy blaster comes with a rechargeable battery and wall charger, 50 official high-impact Nerf rounds and a high-capacity, easy-to-load hopper. Your rivals won’t know what hit ’em.
Perses MXIX-5000 Nerf Rival Motorized Blaster: was $99 now $89
Get ready to hear your movies in a whole new way. This Yamaha receiver is paired with a collection of Polk speakers – floor-standing, bookshelf, center channel and subwoofer – that will bring your movies to life with an awesome 3D audio soundscape.
Whether you’re setting up a home theater for the first time or just getting ready to upgrade your existing setup, this is a great audio setup for the price, and a huge deal for everything you get.
Yamaha receiver and Polk speakers 5.1 sound system: was $2,999 now $1,999
Who needs health food? With a mouth-watering list of potential crispy treats you can make, the Hamilton Beach 2-liter professional deep fryer opens up new vistas of culinary pleasure in your own kitchen. No need to stop at fries, chicken or falafel, you can let your imagination run wild. Ever wanted to try making deep fried Oreos? Why wait for the fair to come next summer, when all you need is this and a little batter to start making your own, whenever you want? (I’m not saying you need to make deep fried Oreos at 3 in the morning, but having one of these will certainly make it so that you can, if that ever sounds like a good idea.)
Walmart has it in a lovely red color, and at a killer discount that knocks more than $18 off the regular price.
Hamilton Beach 2-Liter Professional Deep Fryer: was $53 now $34
If you’ve been thinking about a new GoPro camera, now’s a good time to buy, because Walmart is selling the GoPro Hero10 Black for $529. That’s over $250 off the usual $794 price for this flagship action camera from GoPro. It’s capable of capturing up to 5.3K Ultra HD video at 60 frames per second, shooting 23MP photos, and even 1080p livestreaming. In our GoPro Hero10 Black review we gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 (and an Editor’s Choice award) for its ultra-high resolution, clear front and back displays, and excellent image stabilization.
If there’s an Xbox Series X or Xbox One owner on your holiday shopping list, Walmart’s selling Call of Duty: Vanguard for $39, which is nearly half off the usual $70 price for this recently-released Call of Duty game. You have to add the game to your cart to see the discounted price, and this copy should be cross-gen — meaning you’ll be able to play this copy of Vanguard on either an older Xbox One or one of the newer Xbox Series X consoles, if you’re lucky enough to own one. In our review we generally lauded this game as an uninspired but well-made Call of Duty game that looks and sounds great.
I’ve got one more notable Microsoft laptop deal to highlight for you: Walmart is selling Microsoft’s 13.5-inch Surface Laptop 4 for $999, a $300 savings compared to the usual $1,299 asking price. That’s a pretty good deal on this model, which sports a 13.5-inch 16:10 (2256 x 1504 pixels) touchscreen, an 11th Gen Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. In our review we praised this Windows 10 laptop for its slim design, solid battery life and great speakers, though the thick bezels around the screen can be a bit of an eyesore. This deal comes in a nice sandstone shade, though you can get the same deal on an identical model that comes in matte black if you prefer.
If you could use a cheap, low-powered Windows 10 laptop to type on, know that Walmart is currently selling the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go for $449, $100 off the usual $549 asking price. That’s a decent price for this older model of the Laptop Go packing a 10th Gen Core i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 64GB SSD. That’s not much power or storage, but it’s enough to handle basic typing, office work, and some very light gaming. The 12.4-inch touchscreen (1536 x 1024 pixels) is good enough for watching movies and videos, though it can’t quite achieve 1080p Full HD resolution. And though we criticized this thin-and-light laptop for disappointing battery life in our review, it still managed to deliver 7+ hours on a single charge.
If you need a new monitor for your gaming PC, Walmart is selling an Acer Nitro 1080p gaming monitor for $149, $50 off the usual $199 price tag. This 23.8-inch monitor (1920 x 1080 pixels) supports AMD FreeSync Premium and can achieve refresh rates of up to 165Hz with a 1ms response time, making it great for 1080p gaming rigs. It also supports HDR10 and its port selection includes DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4, and HDMI 2.0 (as well as an audio out), affording you some choice in how to hook it up.
At the top of this page you’ll see a link to Walmart selling Nintendo Switch games for $14 and up, but what that link won’t tell you is that one of those $14 deals is for one of the best Switch games I’ve ever played. That’s right: Walmart is selling Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for $14, which is a whopping $45 off the game’s $59 price. That’s a killer deal on what I think is an excellent, approachable tactical strategy game for Nintendo’s handheld, so if you (or someone you love) owns a Switch but not Mario + Rabbids, take advantage of this deal to rectify that post-haste.
Want some new earbuds? Right now you can get a decent deal on a pair from Samsung, as Walmart is selling the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro earbuds for $149, $50 off the usual $199 price. This pair comes in Phantom Black, and with a 11-mm woofer and 6.5-mm tweeter in each earbud they should be able to put some kick into your workout playlist. Plus, they offer active noise cancellation and IPX7 water resistance, so you don’t have to sweat about getting them a bit wet. In our review we dinged the Galaxy Buds Pro for disappointing battery life, but otherwise lauded them as Samsung’s best wireless earbuds yet.
One of the more modest deals happening today is Walmart selling this Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo for $35, which is $10 cheaper than its usual $45 asking price. Sure, it’s not a fancy mechanical keyboard or gaming mouse, but Logitech has a rep for building sturdy accessories and this is a decent deal on Logitech’s MK360 wireless keyboard/mouse combo. I used a mouse like this for years when I was working on the road, and a wireless keyboard can be nice to have too when you’re typing on a laptop in a hotel room. Plus, combo packs like these are great for folks who have a PC plugged into a TV and need a way to interface with it while they’re on the couch.
Hey folks! I’m Alex Wawro, and I’ll be your guide to some of the best Walmart Black Friday deals happening in the next few hours. For example, I’ve long admired the look of Samsung Galaxy smartwatches I’ve seen some of my colleagues review, and right now Walmart has the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 on sale for $179. That’s $220 off the usual $399 asking price for this 41mm Mystic Bronze model of the Galaxy Watch 3, which has a cool rotating bezel and a slim design we lauded in our review.
This will be my last live blog post for today before handing over the baton to our computing editor extraordinaire — Alex Wawro. However, I saved a good one for last. So the TCL 6-Series TV is our pick for the best overall value TV. In our review, we especially like the mini-LED backlighting and QLED enhancement. The result is impressive color and brightness, with some of the best HDR performance we’ve seen on anything this side of an OLED display. The Editor’s Choice TV is on sale for $898, which is its lowest price ever. If that’s out of budget, the 55-inch model is on sale for $699 ($100 off).
TCL 65-inch 4K Mini-LED QLED Roku TV: was $1,299 now $898
It’s Black Friday season and there are a ton of cheap laptops out there, but this one is kinda impressive. For starters, it comes with a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS LCD. Most cheapo laptops have 1366 x 768 resolution screens. It also has a Pentium Silver N5040 CPU, 4GB of RAM, 128GB eMMC, and THX audio. I don’t love the CPU or the paltry RAM, but if you’re doing simple web-based work or streaming — this is actually a decent machine. It’s also a nice budget pick for young kids.
Gateway 15.6″ Slim Laptop: was $249 now $179
My gym membership is still on freeze, so I’ve been doing all of my workouts outdoors or at home. One of the best home gym purchases I made this past year was buying a yoga mat. I’m not a yogi, but I use the mat for stretches and every other exercise that requires that I lie flat on my back. Walmart has a bunch of home gym accessories on sale from $6. The sale includes yoga mats, yoga blocks, resistance bands (another must for any home gym), and medicine balls. A lot of items are under $50, which makes for a great gift for yourself (or someone else).
Home gym accessories: deals from $6
I don’t even own a Switch, yet I wish I had the Mario Kart Live Home Circuit. It lets you race a real-world Mario Kart through your home using your Switch (not included) to control the Kart. You can create the track in your home/apt using the included gates and via the magic of augmented reality, you can “race” through your apartment. Let’s-a go!
Mario Kart Live Home Circuit: was $99 now $50
The Braun Series 6 appears to have everything I’d look for in an electric shaver. That includes a swivel head, waterproof exterior, charging dock that also cleans your device, and a trimmer attachment for trimming beards. (Not that I have a beard, but if I ever grew one — it’s nice to know I could trim it with the Series 6). It’s also on sale for just $84, which is its lowest price to date. (FYI: Amazon offers the same price).
Braun Series 6 Shaver/Trimmer: was $119 now $84
I love running outdoors, but I hate running outdoors in the winter. There’s no sun, it’s extra windy (I run along the waterfront), and my hands are always ice cold. So I’m in the market for a good pair of running gloves. (Any suggestions, plz shoot me a note). That’s where this sale comes into the picture. Walmart has a bunch of Nike apparel/accessories on sale from $21. I’m eyeing these Nike gloves for $49.
Nike apparel sale: deals from $21
I’m a Mac person, but if I were to ever switch to a Windows machine — this would be the one I’d get. (It’d be a tough call between this or an XPS 13). On the hardware side, you get a 15.6-inch AMOLED LCD, Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. Plus, the laptop itself is very compact and comes in at around 3 pounds.
Samsung Galaxy Book Pro: was $949 now $699
Now here’s a Black Friday deal that really speaks to me! Walmart has the Keurig Drinkworks on sale for $299. To be honest, I didn’t even know Keurig had a cocktail-making machine. So the way it works is that you drop in the cocktail pod, press start, and in less than a minute you’ll have a boozy beverage at your disposal. The pods are made with real juices and premium spirits, so you truly don’t have to do a single thing except provide the glass. I think I might need one of these once this month is over!
Keurig Drinkworks: was $349 now $299
I’m not much of a home cook, but if/when I get into cooking, I’m starting with an Instant Pot. (The other kitchen appliance I want is a sous vide, but more on that later). Like most Instant Pots, this 8-quart model can make everything from stews and rice to yogurt and eggs. Better yet — it’s on sale for just $59.
Instant Pot 8-Quart Multi-Cooker: was $99 now $59
I’ve always been curious about air purifiers, but haven’t jumped onto the bandwagon quite yet. This quiet but powerful air purifier features four fans to clean rooms of up to 1,000 square feet with its HEPA anti-allergen filter. Its Clean Sense IQ sensor measures air quality and automatically adjusts fan speed.
Shark Air Purifier 4: was $299 now $268
Update: Amazon and Walmart are having a price war over this device. The Walmart price is now $47, whereas Amazon has it for $50 via an on-page digital coupon.
I was never a fan of sparkling water, but I have friends who love it, so I’m going to recommend they buy the SodaStream Terra. The Terra lets you turn fresh water into fancy, sparkling water (pinkies up!) using SodaStream’s CO2 cylinders. It’s super compact so it won’t take up much space on your kitchen counter and it’s available in four colors.
SodaStream Terra Sparkling Water Maker: was $99 now $59
60% off! Have kids on your holiday shopping list? Walmart has this Melissa & Doug Animals Wooden Stamp set on sale for just $20! The 38-piece wooden set includes farm animals, ocean creatures, safari animals, and more. This same deal will be available in-store at Walmart on November 26, but you can avoid the crowds and buy it online now!
Melissa & Doug Jumbo Animals Wooden Stamp Set: was $49 now $20
I’m gonna be honest — I’m really torn about this deal. Walmart has the iPad Air on sale for $569. Back in September this same model dropped to an all-time low of $489!! In fact, most of this past summer the iPad Air sold for just $499. So to see it on “sale” for $569….kinda irks me. However, iPads are very hard to find it stock right now. And if you look at Amazon’s iPad Air price, they’re selling it for $599! So if you really have your heart set on an iPad Air — $569 is as good as it gets right now.
10.9″ iPad Air (64GB): was $599 now $569
Bose makes epic headphones and their new QuietComfort 45 continue that lineage of award-winning ‘phones. In our review, we gave the headphones an Editor’s Choice award and called them a no-brainer for Bose fans who want to swap out their older QC headphones for something more modern, or shoppers who want first-class Bose noise cancellation for a cheaper price than the Bose 700.
Bose QuietComfort 45: was $329 now $279
A $15 Magic Bullet is just an insane deal. Not only is this blender dirt cheap, but the Magic Bullet holds a spot in our list of best blenders. This is an especially great deal for athletes because you can make a ton of different health shakes and smoothies. Just add your protein powder of choice and voila! It can also be used to make pasta sauces and guac.
Magic Bullet: was $39 now $15
Hey, everyone! Deals editor Louis here taking you through another day of Walmart Black Friday deals on this chilly Wednesday morning. Thanksgiving is just a few hours away and Walmart continues unveiling new deals by the hour, so I’ll be live blogging their best offers today. So on that note, on to the deals….
I’m an Apple Watch fan and Walmart now has the Apple Watch 7 on sale for $379. It’s a modest $19 off, but it’s the first noteworthy dollar-off discount I’ve seen on this watch. (Although Amazon was first with the discount). In our review, we loved the bigger display and called it the most practical version of this smartwatch yet.
Apple Watch 7 (GPS/41mm): was $399 now $379
The iPhone XR is a great cheap iPhone that just got even cheaper. Right now you can grab the iPhone XR from Walmart with a Straight Talk plan for just $249, which is another $50 off.
You get a roomy 6.1-inch LCD display, good photo quality from the single rear camera and a plenty fast A12 Bionic chip. There’s no 5G, but we really like the nearly 11.5 hours of battery life.
iPhone XR Prepaid/Straight Talk: was $299 now $249
Back in stock! The Samsung Chromebook 4 is currently available for just $129. This Black Friday Chromebook deal had previously sold out.
This Chromebook features a 11.6-inch display, an Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM and 32GB SSD. And it’s rated for 12.5 hours of battery life. Hurry on this deal before it’s gone.
Samsung Chromebook 4: was $199 now $129
How about a little family fun this holiday that doesn’t involve screens? Right now Walmart has the Classic Jenga game for just $7, which is $5 off the regular price. This wood block stacking game is designed for ages 6 and up, and the goal is to use strategy to prevent the tower of blocks from tumbling over.
There’s also a version I played in college that involved adult beverages, but that’s another story.
Classic Jenga: was $12 now $7
40-inch TVs don’t get cheaper than this. Right now Walmart has a Sceptre 40-inch TV for just $148. You don’t get 4K resolution, but you do get a full HD (1080p) LED display for watching your favorite shows and movies. The TV includes 3 HDMI ports, USB input, composite, Bluetooth and VGA connections and a 60Hz refresh rate.
Sceptre 40″ FHD (1080p) TV: was $178 now $148
If you’re looking for the perfect entry-level DSLR, then the Canon T100 could tick all the right boxes.
Sure, it’s three years old now and only shoots Full HD video, but then again just look at that price: Walmart is selling it for just $349, and that’s with an 18-55mm kit lens.
It’s the ideal gift for a child who’s interested in photography and wants to step up from a smartphone, or for an adult who doesn’t want to spend too much on a ‘proper’ camera.
Canon EOS Rebel T100 DSLR: now $349
One thing I’m definitely going to buy this Black Friday is a new smart speaker (or maybe a couple. My 1st-gen Amazon Echo Dot doesn’t cut it (and never did for music), and I can’t afford Sonos in every room.
I’m pretty sure I’m going with Google Nest Audio, and this Walmart deal has me even more convinced — it cuts the price from $99 to $59. When my colleague Kate Kozuch tested it, she was impressed by its attractive exterior and balanced sound and awarded it 4 stars in her review. This Black Friday deal makes it better still.
Google Nest Audio: was $99 now $59
I have a love/hate relationship with fitness trackers. While I love them, they seem to hate me, constantly berating me for not doing enough exercise when I have plenty of good excuses, such as writing this live blog.
Anyway, I could forgive that kind of behaviour in the Fitbit Inspire 2, because Amazon has cut its price down to just $59! Yes, a fitness tracker for less than $60. And not just any fitness tracker, but one that we honored with a 4-star review earlier this year thanks to its comfortable design, ease of use for newcomers and the fact that you get a year of Fitbit Premium membership thrown in.
Fitbit Inspire 2: was $99 now $59
I’m not 100% certain that when the peace and love movement was launched in the 1960s, the ultimate aim was that it would one day be honored on a mini fridge. Then again, I’m not an expert.
The design is apparently a tribute to a 1971 Coca-Cola advert, but let’s skip the history lesson and talk about a subject I am an expert in: namely, cold drinks. This lightweight, portable mini fridge has space for six 330ml or four 500ml cans, has a fan-free silent nighttime mode and can even warm food as well as chill it.
Actually, I’ve now remembered the advert; I’m pretty sure it was invented by Don Draper in Mad Men.
Coca-Cola Peace 1971 Series Portable 6 Can Mini Fridge: was $99 now $39
If you own a Nintendo Switch Lite, then you’re going to need a proper case for it.
This Insten hardshell case should do the job nicely: as well as offering full protection for your handheld console, it also has space for Switch game cartridges and a pouch for charging cables and other accessories. Walmart currently has it on sale for just $9.
Insten Nintendo Switch Lite case: was $13 now $9
I don’t own an Apple Watch, but if I did I’d be buying this pack of replacement bands in six striking designs.
They’re made from high quality silicone, come in either 38mm or 40mm sizes and are compatible with Apple Watch Series 6/5/4/3/2/1 and SE. And they’re currently less than half price at Walmart.
Posh Tech Apple Watch bands: was $49 now $22
A good Bluetooth speakers that can survive the elements is an essential tech purchase, and Black Friday is a great time to buy one, with discounts on many of the best devices.
The Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3, available from walmart for $199 right now, fits that profile: we awarded in 4.5 stars in our review, and praised its good sound quality, long battery and ruggedness.
Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3: was $249 now $199
If you’ve not yet set your home up with smart lighting, then now’s the perfect time to do it. It connects to your phone via Bluetooth with no need for a separate hub, letting you control the brightness without needing to leave your chair (or bed).
Sure, this Walmart deal only brings the price down by $2 to $12, but it’s a cheap entry point to a smart home setup even without the discount.
Philips Hue white bulb: was $14 now $12
We’re almost at peak Bluetooth, the point at which every single object on Earth will sync wirelessly with your phone. Is that a good thing? I’d say so.
Take the iHome Mirror, for example. This is no mere dumb piece of glass that merely reflects your image back at you. No, it’s a Bluetooth mirror that can play tunes while you put on your makeup or shave. And there’s more, because it also has a mic so you can take phone calls on it, supports Siri and Google Assistant, has a USB charging port for your phone, LED lighting and a 10x magnification spot mirror. Truly, we’re living in the future.
The iHome Mirror is currently reduced from $80 to $49 at Walmart, making it a great Black Friday deal.
iHome Mirror: was $80 now $49
The Otterbox Defender Series is one of the best iPhone 13 Pro Max cases you can get thanks to extensive drop protection and a silver-based antimicrobial additive that limits microbial growth on the case.
Otterbox’s cases can be pricey relative to other options, but Walmart is discounting this popular accessory for Black Friday. Normally $49, the Otterbox Defender Series Pro case is on sale for $19.
Because the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro Max are the same size, this case should fit either model. You’ll also find the Otterbox Defender Series on sale at Walmart for other iPhone models as well.
Otterbox Defender Series: was $49 now $19
Black Friday gaming laptop deals tend to focus on higher-end rigs, but there’s value to be found among lower-cost machines, too. Take the MSI GF63. This 15.6-inch gaming laptop is current available at a $200 discount at Walmart. That means you’ll pay $499 for the MSI GF63.
This thin laptop is powered by an Intel Core i5-10300H processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 MaxQ graphics. You’ll get 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage in this Windows 10 machine.
You’ll need to check availability to see if the MSI GF6 is currently available at a store near you, but Walmart says it will be available in stores starting at 5 a.m. local time this Friday (Nov. 26).
MSI GF63: was $699 now $499
Who knew that Walmart was the place to go for Nespresso Black Friday deals? Yet, a few days before Black Friday, that’s where we find ourselves, as the Nespresso VertuoPlus by De’Longhi is on sale at Walmart.
You can get the Nespresso VertuoPlus for $119, a $40 discount, if you shop at Walmart. Coincidentally, that’s the same price you’ll find at Amazon. Walmart’s model is available in black and features four different capsule sizes.
Nespresso VertuoPlus by De’Longhi: was $159 now $119
The biggest complaint in our Miku Smart Baby Monitor review didn’t involve any of the features. We were very impressed with how this device not only let you check in on your baby to make sure they’re sleeping soundly but also that it monitors baby breathing. No, our biggest criticism had to do with the $399 price.
Walmart’s addressing that with a Black Friday deal on the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor with wall mount. Instead of the usual hefty $399 price, Walmart is offering the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor at $299 — a $100 discount.
In addition to sleep and breathing monitoring, the Miku device can check humidity and temperature in the nursery. There’s also a two-way talk feature so you can soothe your baby remotely.
Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor: was $399 now $299
The Beats Solo Pro may not be the newest on-ear noise-cancelling headphones — the AirPods Max are a more fully featured option just to name one. But you get very-good noise cancellation with the Beats Solo Pro at an affordable price. And Walmart is making the price even more affordable for Black Friday.
In this Walmart deal, you can get the Beats Solo Pro for $99, a $50 discount off the regular price. The headphones are available in black or ivory — the gray model appears to be sold out at this time.
Beats Solo Pro: was $149 now $99
Vizio’s V-Series TVs are usually a solid bet if you’re looking for a 4K TV at a lower price than other sets. Walmart, as we’ve established, is absolutely slashing prices on TVs for Black Friday. What happens when those two factors combine?
You end up getting great deals like this one on the Vizio 70″ Class V-Series 4K UHD LED SmartCast Smart TV (Model V705x-J03). This 70″ Vizio set is available for $498, around a $200 discount from its normal asking price.
Availability may be limited in your area — understandable since we imagine people will jump on the chance for a 70-inch 4K set for less than $500. So if you’ve been holding out for a 4K TV on the cheap, we encourage you to act now.
Vizio 70″ Class V-Series 4K UHD LED SmartCast Smart TV: was $689 now $498
In stock! In case you missed it, Walmart has the Nintendo Switch bundled with Mario Kart 8 for $299 in stock right now. The console includes a free digital download of Mario Kart 8 — which is one of the best Nintendo Switch games around and a $50 value. Plus, you get 3 free months membership to Nintendo’s Switch Online service.
Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Bundle: for $299
With its beautiful 14-inch 2880 x 1800 (2.8K) OLED display, thin bezels, and svelte profile, the VivoBook 14 Pro looks like a $1,000 laptop. In our review, we said this laptop is great for day-to-day office work, but also ideal for entertainment. It sports a Core i5-11300H CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. It’s now on sale for just $649.
Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED Laptop: was $749 now $649
Chromecast with Google TV takes the already-noble Chromecast and gives it a bunch of new skills that make it better than ever. In our review, we liked the device’s new remote, 4K streams with HDR/Dolby Vision support, and Dolby Atmos immersive sound. Also, it’s got Google TV, which means it supports over 6,500 Android TV apps. That means you get everything from HBO Max to Netflix. Even Peloton’s in there.
Chromecast with Google TV: was $49 now $39
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has been out for only a short while, but Walmart is already slashing its price down to just $25. In our review, we called it one of the best superhero games ever made. You play as Star-Lord, but the rest of the space-vagabond band is along for the ride, including Gamora, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, and Drax the Destroyer. Also available on Xbox One/Series X for $25 and on PS4 for $25.
Guardians of the Galaxy: was $59 now $25
Take your tunes on the go with Anker’s portable Bluetooth speaker. The waterproof (IPX7 certified) speaker offers up to 16 hours of playtime and features built-in LED lights to create a light show with your music. When summer returns, you can even take the speaker poolside since it’s designed to float. It’s now 50% off in this epic deal.
Anker SoundCore Select Pro: was $99 now $50
The Galaxy S20 FE is one of the best budget flagships you can buy. In our review, we were impressed with the phone’s big 6.5-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, powerful 30x Space Zoom (digital), and solid overall performance. This prepaid model is tied to Straight Talk and an excellent buy for anyone who wants flagship performance sans the flagship price.
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE: was $699 now $249
I know jack about kids’ toys these days, but I will say this — if I were a kid I’d love to find this under my tree on Xmas Eve. It’s a double-sided art easel that lets kids draw with a dry-erase marker/felt eraser on one side or chalk on the other. Plus, it also comes with a 70-foot long paper roll, so there are multiple ways for kids to draw and get creative. Also, Amazon sells a very similar Melissa & Doug art easel for $38, whereas Walmart has it for just $20.
Melissa & Doug Double-Sided Art Easel: was $43 now $20
I need to buy a new Xmas tree, but since I live in an apartment, I’m most likely gonna go the artificial route. That’s why I’m eyeing this holiday decor sale at Walmart. The retailer has things like Xmas trees, holiday pillows, light sets, and ornaments on sale from $2. They even have Charlie Brown Xmas trees from $10.
Holiday decor: deals from $2

The keyboard is an island-style model with a full range of keys, including a numerical keypad and hotkeys. As for the mouse, it has a contoured shape, scroll wheel, and 1000 dpi. This combo is compatible with all PCs running Windows.
Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo MK360: was $45 now $35
There’s this notion that being a streamer means you need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on equipment. This isn’t true at all. For less than a hundred dollars, you can get yourself a solid webcam that’ll bring out your best side.
The Logitech 1080p Pro Stream Webcam is a fantastic device for both professionals and novices. Comparable to the Logitech C922, this webcam lets you stream at 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second on streaming sites like Twitch and YouTube. Two built-in mics capture your voice in crystal clear stereo audio. You also have the option to stream at 720p at 60 frames per second. The webcam is also ideal for conference calls or chatting with friends.
I’m a big fan of Logitech’s webcams and can’t recommend this one enough, especially for such a low price.
Logitech 1080p Pro Stream Webcam: was $79 now $64
As a Computing Writer, I’m always searching for gaming laptops that are both performant and affordable. Black Friday is the perfect time to search for such devices, both for myself and for our wonderful readers.
The MS GF64 Thin Gaming Laptop is currently on sale for $200 off and is a great gaming laptop to consider. The large 15.6-inch Full HD display allows you to truly immerse yourself in whatever game you’re playing. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 processor and 8GB of RAM will let you play most games well at medium settings. If you’re looking for a portable gaming rig that won’t bust your bank account, you won’t go wrong with this beauty.
MS GF64 Thin Gaming Laptop: was $699 now $499
Apple deal: Elevate your iPad experience with the Apple Pencil, which is on sale for a limited time during Walmart Black Friday deals. The retailer took $20 off the regular price of the first-generation stylus, making it more affordable to take notes or sketch on your tablet.
Just be sure to check compatibility before buying. This version of the Apple Pencil works with the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st and 2nd generation), iPad Pro 10.5-inch, iPad Pro 9.7-inch, iPad (6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th generation), iPad Air (3rd generation) and iPad mini (5th generation).
Apple Pencil (1st Gen): was $99 now $79
Do I need an ice maker? Probably not. Do I want an ice maker? Heck yes, especially when it costs just $89 during Walmart Black Friday deals.
Ice makes any drink taste better and if you don’t abide by that you’re wrong, sorry. Add the necessary chill to your water, coffee or cocktail with cubes ready in as little as 6 minutes with the TaoTronics Countertop Ice Maker. Feed the machine water consistently and you’ll have a basin of ice at your disposal. It even has a self-cleaning function, taking all the hassle out of keeping your drinks cold.
TaoTronics Countertop Ice Maker: was $159 now $89
Get your DIY on: I love the Cricut Joy. In my review, I called it a cheery, compact crafting machine that’s great for beginners. Whether you want to create custom holiday cards or matching shirts for your next family vacation, this vinyl cutter makes it simple. Walmart Black Friday deals take $20 off normal price in a rare sale for a top-rated DIY gadget.
Cricut Joy: was $149 now $129
Walmart wins Black Friday smartwatch deals, and that’s coming from someone who reviews smartwatches. You can get one of the best smartwatches on the market (and the top Apple Watch-alternative) for just $199 right now. I’m talking about the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, which I called the ultimate Samsung phone accessory in my 4-star review.
The Galaxy Watch 4 looks sleek and runs the revamped version of Wear OS, so you’ll find many familiar Google apps available on your wrist. This smartwatch also makes an excellent fitness tracker with the expected suite of sensors plus a body composition analysis feature. Talk about a versatile wearable.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4: was $294 now $199
Epic smart home deal: Ready to up your home’s IQ? This Walmart Black Friday deal on one of the best smart thermostats can help you create the ideal home climate, any time of year.
The Nest Learning Thermostat was the original smart thermostat, and in its third iteration, it continues learns your behavior over time. Yes, this means it can automatically change the temperature when someone comes home. Our full review covers all the clever features you’ll get.
Nest Learning Thermostat v3: was $297 now $225
I’ve been wanting a Roomba ever since my old one died, but I can’t justify buying one while my trusty Dirt Devil still works like a charm. Is it svelte like a Dyson or smart like a Roomba? Nope. But it works and it gets the job done and sometimes that’s what matters most. Oh, it’s also on sale for just $39. Try finding a Roomba or Dyson at that price!
Dirt Devil Power Express Upright Bagless: was $50 now $39
I’m in the market for a new Nespresso machine. My current machine, the Romeo, is crazy old. That said, this Nespresso deal at Walmart is very tempting. We named it the best Nespresso machine overall. It can make up to 14oz brews, which means you can make anything from a quick espresso shot to a full-size travel mug. It’s like having your own personal barista in the kitchen!
Nespresso Vertuo Plus: was $159 now $119
Winter is just a few weeks away and grilling is probably the last thing on your mind right now. But here’s a little deals secret — out of season items tend to see the biggest discounts. Take this grill for example. It normally sells for around $499, but right now Walmart has knocked its price to just $229 — it’s lowest price ever. If you were to buy this during peak summer/spring season, you’d end up paying full price.
Kamado Joe Jr. 13.5″ Charcoal Grill: was $499 now $229
I know I highlighted this deal yesterday, but I’m gonna highlight it again because it’s such an epic deal. Walmart once again has fresh stock of the AirPods Pro and they’re on sale for just $159, their lowest price ever. I use my AirPods Pro for just about everything and love them because they stay in place, they’re truly sweat-proof, and they provide solid audio. Plus, they have a transparency mode, which is great for running outdoors because it lets you hear your music as well as any ambient/surrounding noise. Also check out our review, where we gave them an Editor’s Choice award.
AirPods Pro: was $249 now $159
If you’re like me, chances are you’ve never heard of Aicok before. But don’t worry. This juicer holds a spot in our list of best juicers. It’s a great budget option for casual juicers or for anyone who’s new to juicing. It’s compact and easy to put together, plus it sports a large feed chute that can accommodate whole fruits. (Which means less time chopping, more time juicing!)
Aicok Centrifugal Juicer: was $89 now $44
Gaming laptops are renown for being pricey, but if you’re a casual gamer you can get this mammoth gaming rig for just $699. It packs a 17.3-inch 1080p IPS LCD, AMD Ryzen 5 5600 GPU, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and a GTX 1650 GPU. It’s perfect for casual gaming, everyday work, and everything in between.
Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop: was $909 now $699
I’m a total gym rat, but I haven’t been to the gym since the pandemic started. So I’m looking for a way to expand my (very modest) home gym and these dumbbells might be it. I’ve been curious about adjustable dumbbells, but they’re either very expensive or hard to find in stock. This set is great because it can be adjusted from 5 lbs. to 25 lbs. which is perfect for light workouts and targeting specific muscles. And they’re just $150!
CAP Adjustable Dumbbells: was $229 now $150
While most people would use this ultra-cheap Ninja Blender to make healthy smoothies and açaí shakes, I plan on using it to make the ultimate frozen margarita. It has a 72-ounce XL capacity so you can make slushy, boozy cocktails for all of your friends. Pass, the tequila!
Ninja Performance Blender: was $89 now $49
I’m convinced that OtterBox cases can survive a nuclear war. I purchased my mom an OtterBox case for her iPhone a few years back and despite spills, drops, and a 90-pound labrador falling asleep on it — her phone looks brand new (thanks to her OtterBox case). They’re a tad too bulky for my personal taste, but if you have butter fingers — or know someone with a 90-pound lab who likes sleeping on phones — get them an OtterBox. This case works on iPhone 13 Pro Max or iPhone 12 Pro Max and it’s much cheaper than buying it direct from OtterBox.
OtterBox Defender Series Pro for iPhone 13: was $49 now $19
I sometimes think Black Friday should be renamed Chromebook Friday, if not for the fact that it sounds stupid. But there really are a lot of great Chromebook deals on offer at this time of year.
For instance, Walmart currently has the Acer Chromebook Spin 311 on sale for $149, which is 50% off its usual price of $299.
That’s an excellent saving on a device that we awarded 3.5 stars to in our review, given that rating was based on its full price. At under $150, it’s something of a steal, with a superb keyboard, good battery life and decent enough performance for basic tasks.
Acer Chromebook Spin 311: was $299 now $149
If I have one motto in life, it’s that you can never have too many SD cards. No, it’s not the most exciting motto, but it’s served me well over the years.
Black Friday is a great time to buy SD cards, as many of them are reduced in price, meaning you can stock up for the year ahead.
SanDisk is usually my SD card of choice, and its Extreme Pro range is perfect for cameras that need a fast write speed in order to handle burst shooting and 4K video. This 32GB model has a write speed of 90MB/s and is down to $21 at Walmart, saving you 36%.
SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB SDHC card: was $33 now $21
Sticking with headphones, Cleer Audio is a brand you might not be so familiar with. But you should be, because its Cleer Audio Enduro ANC is one of our picks for both best wireless headphones and best noise-cancelling headphones.
Among its many great features are its astonishing battery life when using Active Noise Cancellation; Cleer claims it’s good for 60 hours and in our own testing we managed upwards of 50hrs. Add to that a good audio performance and app integration and you have an excellent pair of headphones.
The Cleer Audio Enduro ANC is a bargain at any price, but Walmart currently has it on offer for $119, saving you $30 off the standard price.
Cleer Audio Enduro ANC: was $149 now $119
We love the Jabra Elite Active 75t true wireless earbuds — and we love them even more when they get a massive price cut.
Right now, Walmart is selling the Navy version for just $85; that’s $64 off the usual price of $149. You’ll want to move quickly, though, as the Sienna color is already sold out and the Black model is much more expensive at $141.
Assuming you snap them up in time, you’ll be getting some of the best wireless earbuds on the market, and also one of the best Walmart Black Friday deals we’ve seen.
Jabra Elite Active 75t: was $149 now $85
Since buying a labrador puppy last year, I’ve spent approximately $7,762 on dog things. Food, treats, toys, water bowls, harnesses… even a rucksack to carry him in when he was very small (don’t judge me).
Next on the list: a nice bed to replace all the ones he tore to bits when he was young. And to ensure he sleeps like the prince he is, I’ve got my eye on this memory foam dog bed from Walmart, reduced to $54 from its original $90 price.
Memory Foam Dog Bed: was $90 now $54
Even if you weren’t lucky enough to pick up an Xbox Series X in yesterday’s Walmart restock, it doesn’t hurt to start buying some accessories for when you do get one. Plus, the Xbox Series S is still in stock for $229.
Anyway, if you already have a console or want to plan ahead for when you hit the restock jackpot, you’re going to want another controller. The Xbox Wireless Controller is one of our favorites, and it’s currently on sale at Walmart for $49 in Daystrike Camo or Pulse Red colors.
Xbox Wireless Controller: was $64 now $49
Hands up if you want another great deal on a TCL Roku TV? That’ll be all of you, then.
In our review of TCL’s 6-Series line of TVs, we described it as “one of the best sets on the market” and promptly placed it at No.2 in our list of the best TVs.
It’s an absolute bargain at full price — but right now Walmart has it on sale for $699, a saving of nearly $250. That makes it one of the best Walmart Black Friday deals we’ve seen yet.
TCL 55″ 6-Series 4K QLED TV: was $948 now $699 @ Walmart
Sticking with the home for a minute, the Google Nest Hub Max is a great alternative to the Amazon Echo Show 10, offering a 10-inch screen that also doubles as a security camera. In our review, we praised its great sound and facial recognition features that let it track you round a room.
It sits high up our list of the best smart speakers and the best Google Home Speakers, so we’re always interested in any deals that bring its relatively high price down a little.
Well, Walmart currently has the Nest Hub Max on sale for $179, taking $50 off the usual price and making this a deal well worth checking out.
Google Nest Hub Max: was $229 now $179
I can be a bit of a bore about mesh Wi-Fi (and many other things), but I really do think it’s one of the best upgrades you can make to your home. During the pandemic in 2020, I treated myself to a couple of TP-Link Deco M9 Plus units and I’m so glad I did — I now have super-fast Wi-Fi throughout my house, rather than just near the router.
As luck would have it, Walmart currently has a great deal on the Deco M9 Plus, giving you a 2-pack for $149. That’s $150 off the usual price and an offer not to miss out on.
TP-Link Deco M9 Plus (2-pack): was $299 now $149
We love GoPro cameras at Tom’s Guide, to the extent that they hold the top three spots in our best action cameras list. The GoPro Hero8 Black is a couple of years old now, but as we say in our review, it’s still a great choice, shooting 4K video at up to 60fps and featuring a new design that makes it compatible with accessories — or ‘Mods’ — to give it better audio and lighting abilities.
Walmart currently has a great bundle on the GoPro Hero8 Black, cutting the price from $299 to $249 and throwing in a couple of extra batteries and a dual battery charger, so you can capture footage for longer when you’re halfway up a mountain.
GoPro Hero8 Black bundle: was $299 now $249
Good morning, it’s Marc here, editor in chief (U.K.) at Tom’s Guide, and I’ll be taking over this live blog for the next few hours.
One of the best tech upgrades I ever made was adding a soundbar to my TV setup — and Walmart has a bunch of good ones on sale right now.
The Roku Streambar caught my eye right away today: it features in our list of the best soundbars and includes all of the best streaming services within it, so there’s no need for a separate box. Oh, and Walmart has it on offer right now for $79, saving you $50 on the usual price.
Roku Streambar: was $129 now $79
The iPhone 12 mini is still available, and you can pick it up for $599 at Apple. But Walmart is currently offering an even lower price — you can pick up the iPhone 12 mini for $299 in a Black Friday deal. That discount requires you to sign up for cell phone service with Straight Talk.
It may be worth it if you’re looking to save on a powerful phone. The iPhone 12 mini may be a year older, but its A14 Bionic processor still outperforms more recent Android models. This is also one of the better camera phones to have come out in 2020. And fans of compact phones are finding fewer options out there.
Walmart is only offering modes savings on many other smartphones at this point in its Black Friday sales, so we’re excited to see a discount of several hundred dollars, even if it does require a carrier commitment.
iPhone 12 mini: $300 off with Straight Talk wireless service
Here’s a low-cost way to introduce yourself to Windows 11. The HP 17 Laptop runs Windows 11 Home, along with an Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM. Already a low $679, the HP 17 Laptop is now $499 after Walmart knocked off $180 for Black Friday.
This 17-inch laptop promises a full HD resolution, 512GB of storage and 6.5 hours of battery life in mixed use. And it runs Microsoft’s new Windows software as well.
HP 17 Laptop: was $699 now $499
Why pay up for a new Apple Watch, when you can get a refurbished one that’s perfectly capable of delivering the health and fitness tracking features included with Apple’s smartwatch? That’s the argument for getting a refurbished Apple Watch, and Walmart’s got a good price on an Apple Watch 4 right now.
You can get the Apple Watch 4 for $214.95. That price covers the 44mm aluminum version and includes a sport band. To put the price in context, you’d currently have to pay $399 to get an Apple Watch 7 from Walmart.
There are some trade-offs, as you won’t get more recent features like an always-on display or blood oxygen monitoring. But the Apple Watch 4 can run watchOS 8, the current software, so those features are all available to your watch.
Apple Watch 4 (refurbished): Available for $215
The Oculus Quest 2 took home the Tom’s Guide Award for best VR headset this year. And while it’s not discounted from its regular $299 price at Walmart, you can get a freebie thrown in when you buy this headset.
Buy the 128GB Oculus Quest 2 from Walmart, and you’ll get a free carrying case with your headset. And you’ll need a way to tote around your headset, considering one of the big appeals to the Oculus Quest 2 is the fact that it’s a standalone device. Walmart reckons the carrying case is a $49 value.
Our Oculus Quest 2 review praised the game library, ease of use and overall price. This Walmart deal is a chance to make that price go even further.
Oculus Quest 2: $299 with free carrying case included
Walmart is winning Black Friday TV deals, and here’s the proof. The 43-inch Samsung Q60 QLED TV is under $500 right now in one of the best Samsung TV promotions we’ve seen this holiday season. This set might not have the fancy backlight of more premium models, but you still get a full complement of smart functions, rich HDR support, adaptive sound that adjusts to your environment, and great sound — all in a slim, stylish package.
Samsung Q60 QLED (43-inch): was $597 now $497
Look no further for an affordable stocking stuffer. Walmart Black Friday deals dropped the price of a wireless charging pad you can use to juice up any of the best phones from Apple or Samsung — in fact, the onn. 10W Wireless Charging Pad works with any Qi-enabled devices.
I don’t know about you, but I abhor cord clutter. A wireless charger is an easy way to clean up your desk or nightstand, providing a reliable home for your beloved smartphone.
onn. 10W Wireless Charging Pad: was $24 now $13
Walmart Black Friday deals on smart home devices never disappoint. Kate here, and I reviewed the Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) when it first launched earlier this year. It’s not often a smart display impresses me, but the built-in sleep sensing feature proved this Google Assistant-powered speaker deserves a place on my nightstand. So don’t sleep on this limited-time offer, which takes $50 off the display’s regular price. Bet you’ll rest easy knowing you saved some dough. OK, I’m done, promise.
Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen): was $99 now $49
Ready to suck up some savings? If you haven’t hopped on the robot vacuum trend, now’s your chance. Walmart Black Friday deals just took over $200 off the eufy RoboVac G30 Verge. This helpful home appliance is quiet, compact and its accompanying app is easy to use. Like many of the best robot vacuums, this model maps your home so every nook and cranny is cleaned.
eufy RoboVac G30 Verge: was $349 now $144
Stock update: The $109 Apple Watch 3 deal has sold out for now for the 38mm version, but the 42mm model in white is on sale for just $139. That’s $90 off the usual $229 price and a heck of a deal.
Apple Watch 3 42mm: was $229 now $139
If you’re looking for a cheap TV for a kids bedroom and you don’t need 4K resolution, this $128 Onn 40-inch Roku smart TV could be just the ticket. You get a 1080p picture and easy access to all the best streaming services via Roku’s intuitive software.
This set also works with the Roku app, so you can find something good to watch using only your voice. This Onn TV includes 3 HDMI ports along with the Roku remote.
Onn 40″ Roku Smart TV: now $128
The Fitbit Versa 2 is an excellent fitness smartwatch at $199, but it’s even better at just $118.99 at Walmart. You get a large always-on display and comprehensive fitness and health features, including heart rate tracking, distance, calories burned and active minutes. But Versa 2 goes even further with a daily sleep score and daily readiness score.
In our Fitbit Versa 2 review, we liked its attractive design, good battery life and customized training programs (via subscription). And Alexa support is built in. The only thing missing is on-board GPS.
Fitbit Versa 2 smartwatch: was $199 now $118.99
There are plenty of robot vacuums that are dumb. This is not one of them. In fact, the Roomba i1+ is smart enough to return to its base and empty itself when it’s done cleaning your floors. And the Clean Base has enough room for up to 60 days. Right now you can save $250 in Walmart’s Black Friday deals.
Other highlights of the Roomba i1+ include straight line navigation for cleaning in neat rows, dirt detection technology for cleaning the dirtier parts of your home more thoroughly and the ability to schedule cleanings for while you’re away. Plus, this robot works with Alexa.
iRobot Rooma i1+ robot vacuum: was $599 now $349
In Stock: In case you missed it the AirPods Pro is in stock at Walmart for $159. This is the lowest price ever for Apple’s best wireless earbuds. You get active noise cancellation, a water- and sweat-resistance design and Spatial audio support with dynamic head tracking for a surround-sound like experience.
Other perks include a handy Transparency mode for hearing things around you and three sizes of eartips for getting the best fit. Amazon’s lowest price has been $169, so this beats that sale by another $10. But we don’t expect stock to last for long.
AirPods Pro: was $249 now $159
Ok, I admit — the Xbox Series S isn’t as sought after as the Xbox Series X, but the Series S is still an excellent next-gen console (especially for folks who are casual gamers). At times it’s been as hard to find as the beefier XSX, but Walmart now has Series S in stock for $299.
Xbox Series S: for $299
Generally speaking, Instant Pot deals are easy to find any time of year. However, a $59 Instant Pot isn’t something I recall seeing at all this past year. But that’s what Walmart is offering right now. The 7-in-1 multi-cooker doubles as a pressure cooker, egg cooker, yogurt maker, and more. It’s easily the least-expensive Instant Pot I’ve seen in all of 2021.
Instant Pot 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker: was $99 now $59
I can guarantee you this deal will sell out fast. Walmart is now selling a 70-inch Onn 4K Roku TV for just $398. In all of my years covering TV deals — this is the cheapest 70-incher I’ve ever seen. This deal was advertised in Walmart’s circular and as I mentioned earlier, this TV is suitable for folks who want a big-screen TV for as little as possible.
Onn 70″ 4K Roku TV: for $398
Pssst, Walmart has no PS5 consoles left, but there’s a Sony Direct PS5 restock happening now. It’s open to the general public. Go, go, go!
A new batch of Walmart Black Friday deals is here and if you’re looking for video games — this is the sale to shop. Walmart has dozens of Xbox, PS5, and Switch games on sale for $35/each. I’ve seen games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild hit this price point before, but there are also plenty of new games priced at $35 or less like Madden NFL 22 for PS5, Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy for Xbox for $25, and more.
Video games: PS5/Switch/Xbox for $35
Update: The watch is indeed back in stock!
Welcome again to the Walmart Black Friday deals live blog! In just a few minutes (at 7 p.m. ET), Walmart will unveil another batch of holiday deals that everyone will be able to shop. (No Walmart Plus membership will be required). I’m not seeing any PS5/XSX consoles at the moment (sorry, folks), but other great deals like the Apple Watch 3 for $109 could make a comeback. (It’s currently listed on Walmart’s site as returning at 7 p.m. ET). So get ready for round 2 of Walmart’s holiday deals.
There are a lot of cheap laptops out there, but I like this one because it offers specs that are decent for the price. First off, you get a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS LCD. (A lot of cheap laptops have 1366 x 768 resolution). Instead of a Celeron CPU, this machine also packs a Core i3-1115G4 CPU coupled with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. There’s also a fingerprint scanner, built-in Cortana, and THX audio. Will it break any speed records — probably not. Is it ideal for Web-based work, a casual game, and Netflix binges — absolutely!
Gateway 15.6-inch Laptop: was $499 now $399
If you’re looking for a reliable pair of sub-$100 earbuds, I recommend checking out the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus. The Editor’s Choice buds are on sale for just $79. In our Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus review, we called them a legit AirPods alternative. Like I said earlier, I’m team AirPods Pro, but at just $79 this is an epic deal that’s far more affordable than Apple’s buds.
Galaxy Buds Plus: was $149 now $79
The Google Nest Mini is the best Google Home speaker you can get for less than $50. The versatile smart speaker can stream music, read news headlines, double as an alarm/timer, and act as a voice remote for your other smart devices. I use my smart speaker multiple times per day and if you’re invested in the Google ecosystem, this speaker is a must-have.
Google Nest Mini (2nd Gen): was $49 now $24
I don’t have any kids on my holiday shopping list, but if I did — I’d take advantage of this epic Black Friday sale happening now at Walmart. The retailer has a bunch of Lego sets on sale from $9. It includes Star Wars, Harry Potter, Minecraft, and more. (Personally, I love the Lego Super Mario sets).
Lego sets: deals from $9
Winter is coming! Personally, I love cold weather, but if you have a room in your house or apartment that’s always cold, Walmart has a bunch of space heaters on sale from $15. The sale includes brands like Honeywell, Vornado, and Comfort Zone. Some of these heaters are small enough to fit next to your couch or big enough to heat up an attic or basement.
Space heater sale: deals from $15
I’ve always been curious about massage guns and this might be the deal that makes me pull the trigger. The reason this deal piques my interest is because the Theragun Elite sits at the top of our best massage guns list and sales on this model are very rare. It’s $100 off!
Theragun Elite: was $399 now $299
I’ll be honest: When it comes to fitness trackers/smartwatches, I’m team Apple Watch. However, I’m a bit of a fitness dork and use my Series 4 for pretty much everything. That said, I realize not everyone likes/needs all that functionality. Enter the Fitbit Charge 4. In our Fitbit Charge 4 review, we called it the best fitness tracker for most people because it offers everything you could want from a fitness tracker at a reasonable price. Now on sale for $69, it’s a no-brainer. Also, Amazon is selling it at list price. Tsk, tsk, Amazon.
Fitbit Charge 4: was $149 now $69
Small confession: I can’t remember the last time I cooked something. (Yes, it’s been that long ago). However, I need a new pan because the pan I bought (roughly 20 years ago) is looking pretty funky. Since I don’t cook, I don’t want to spend a lot and I’ll probably get a pan like this. It’s gotten really good reviews (near perfect ratings on Walmart) and it’s only $19. Win!
Tramontina Aluminum 10″ Non-Stick Fry Pan: was $25 now $19
Don’t feel like waiting in a virtual queue for a console? No sweat! Walmart has the Nintendo Switch bundled with Mario Kart 8 for $299. Yes, that’s list price for the console, but you get a free digital download of Mario Kart 8 — which is one of the best Nintendo Switch multiplayer games around. Plus, you get 3 free months membership to Nintendo’s Switch Online service.
Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Bundle: for $299
Fear not, Xbox fans! Walmart also has XSX restock. Again, you’ll need to be a paying Walmart Plus member for your chance to buy the console, but you can now get the XSX for $499 at Walmart. G’luck!
Xbox Series X: for $499
This is what we’ve all been waiting for, amirite? At 4 p.m. ET Walmart will have PS5 restock for Walmart Plus members. I’ve been covering restocks for the past year, so here are some quick pointers. Sign into your Walmart account now. Make sure you have everything set (credit card, shipping address, etc). Refresh your page at 4 p.m. ET sharp and most importantly — don’t give up if you don’t succeed. Keep trying. Walmart has the tendency to restock every 10 minutes or so and their restocks tend to last the full hour. Just keep trying and g’luck!
For any readers just joining — welcome aboard! I’m Louis, deals editor at Tom’s Guide, and I’m highlighting today’s best Walmart Black Friday deals. A bunch of deals just went live at 3 p.m. ET, but they’re exclusives for Walmart Plus members only (you can sign up at Walmart via this link). Walmart will have PS5/XSX restock at 4 p.m. ET (also for Walmart Plus members) and there will be another big batch of deals unveiled at 7 p.m. ET (no membership required). So hold on tight and let’s get back to it!
Sign up for Walmart Plus: $98/year or $12.95/month
Here’s another epic Walmart deal I’m very stoked about. Walmart Plus members can now get the AirPods Pro for just $159. That’s $10 cheaper than last year’s best sale and their lowest price ever. I’ve been using my AirPods Pro since they first debuted and I absolutely love them. I use them every time I go for a run and I love them because they’re the only buds that stay in place, provide solid audio, and live up to their sweat-proof rating. (I sweat like a madman when I exercise and have destroyed so many other “sweat proof” buds). By comparison, Amazon has them for $169.
Apple AirPods Pro: was $249 now $159
One of the best Black Friday deals of all time is now live — Walmart has the Apple Watch 3 on sale for just $109. That’s $10 cheaper than last year’s best deal and an all-time price low for this watch. And if you’re wondering — yes, the Series 3 is still a solid smartwatch despite its age.
Apple Watch 3: was $199 now $109
Let’s be honest: Dyson vacs are crazy expensive. But if you’re gonna buy one, November is definitely the month to do it because that’s when we see the lowest prices. The Dyson V10, for example, is $100 off right now. It includes a crevice tool, docking station, mattress tool, and offers up to 60 minutes of battery life.
Dyson V10 Cord-Free Vacuum: was $479 now $379
I have a love/hate relationship with fried food. On the one hand, I love it because it’s fried food. (Hello, French fries!) On the other hand, I hate it because…well, it’s fried food and I feel like a fat slob after eating it. Enter the Ninja Foodi TenderCrisp. It uses insanely hot air to fry your foods, which means little to no oil is used. The result: perfectly crisp fries, chicken wings, or even Brussel sprouts (without the guilt).
Ninja Foodi TenderCrisp Air Fryer: was $229 now $149
Black Friday wouldn’t be the same with out TV deals and this here is another great bargain for anyone looking to upgrade on the cheap. It runs on the Roku platform and features HDR support, four HDMI ports, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
TCL 55-inch 4K Roku TV: was $499 now $379
iPads may get all the attention, but the Samsung Galaxy Tab Lite is a solid alternative that’s cheaper and easy to find in stock. I like this tablet because it’s gives you full access to Android and the Google Play Store (unlike other Android tablets that use their own flavor of Android). It’s also compact and very lightweight. Power users may want to look elsewhere, but if you want something cheap and capable — this little tablet is now at its lowest price ever.
Samsung Galaxy Tab Lite: was $159 now $119
I love a good pour over, but the likelihood of me schlepping out into the cold winter morning for a cup of coffee is pretty slim. That’s where this Keurig comes into the picture. It’s on sale for just $79 and it can brew an 8-, 10-, or 12-ounce cup of coffee faster than I can tie my shoes.
Keurig K-Duo Coffee Maker: was $99 now $79
If you want a dirt cheap streamer, Walmart has the Google Chromecast (3rd Gen) on sale for just $19. I’d recommend the Chromecast over Walmart’s Onn 1080p Streamer (which is on sale for $14) because the Chromecast is simply a better device for just $5 more.
Google Chromecast 3rd Gen: was $30 now $19
Black Friday is the best time of year to renew your PlayStation Plus membership. Why? Because now is when you see the lowest prices. For example, you can buy 12 months right now for just $39. Outside of Black Friday, I generally don’t see deals on PS Plus memberships. You might see 3-month discounts here and there on major holidays, but right now you can get a full year!
PlayStation Plus 1-Year: was $59 now $39
The Sony WH1000XM4 (doesn’t the name just roll off your tongue) are the best headphones you can buy. It’s rare they go on sale, but right now you can get them for just $249, which is their lowest price ever. They outperform a lot of the competition and their touch controls and 30-hour battery life (with active noise cancellation on) are unbeatable. Would I take these to the gym or wear them while on the treadmill? Probably not. But for everything else — these are the ‘phones you want.
Sony WH1000XM4 Wireless Headphones: was $349 now $249
Chromebooks have a bed rep of being cheap and underpowered. While some of them indeed are, the Samsung Chromebook 4 is one of the best Chromebooks you can buy, especially if you’re on a tight budget. It lasted 10.5 hours in our testing and its aluminum top makes it stand out from the rest of those inexpensive, plastic Chromebooks. Performance-wise, it’s great for everyday tasks and Web-based work.
Samsung Chromebook 4: was $284 now $126
Greeting, folks! I’m Louis, deals editor at Tom’s Guide, and I’ll be guiding you through Walmart’s Black Friday deals event today. I’m a native New Yorker, drink my coffee black, and I’ve been covering Black Friday deals for over 10 years. That said — one of the deals I’m most psyched about for today is this 70-inch 4K Roku TV, which will go on sale for just $398. If you’re not familiar with Onn, it’s Walmart’s own brand. If you’re nit-picky about video quality, this TV isn’t for you. However, if you want a big-screen 4K TV for cheap — this is perfect. I also like this TV because it runs on the Roku platform (which is my favorite streaming platform).
Onn 70-inch 4K Roku TV: for $398 @ Walmart
