UPDATE: Nov. 25, 2022, 1:00 p.m. EST This post has been updated to include new live deals from Walmart's Black Friday sale.

Here are the best Black Friday deals at Walmart that are currently live as of Nov. 25:

  • BEST TV DEAL: The well-reviewed 50-inch Vizio V-Series TV is one of the best 50-inch TV deals you'll find this season — $298 $358 (save $60)

  • BEST TABLET DEAL: The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is the perfect little entertainment machine — $109 $159 (save $50)

  • BEST SMARTWATCH DEAL: The first-gen Apple Watch SE (GPS + Cellular, 40mm) might be the cheapest non-refurbished Apple Watch you'll find this season — $249 $309 (save $60)

  • BEST ROBOT VACUUM DEAL: The iRobot Roomba i1+ is the cheapest self-emptying Roomba, now under $300 — $288 $529.99 (save $241.99)

  • BEST AIR FRYER DEAL: The Ninja Foodi 4-in-1 air fryer features dual baskets and is $100 cheaper than an almost-identical model on Ninja's website — $99

As far as Walmart is concerned, Black Friday started in October.

The mega-retailers "Rollbacks and More" event on Oct. 11 and 12 competed with Amazon's Prime Early Access sale and added even more deals to the earliest shopping season we've ever seen.

But now, Walmart is ready to kick things up a notch with the official start of Black Friday festivities. Nov. 7 marked the first day of their Deals for Days sales event, adding to the existing deals on robot vacuums, laptops, kitchen appliances, and more. According to a press release, "Walmart will spread the excitement of Black Friday savings over three events throughout November and cap off a month of deals with Cyber Monday, delivering customers great prices on the must-have gifts of the season."

Every Monday, we get new batches of deals starting at 7 p.m. ET, with Walmart+ members getting early access at 12 p.m. ET. When we can, we're providing intel about future deals before they drop. Nov. 27 marks the next deals drop for Cyber Monday (here's a sneak peek at what's coming).

Please note: All newly added deals have been marked with a ✨. Anything with a strikeout was either sold out or no longer available at the sale price as of this writing, but check back often — we're updating this page constantly.

Best TV deals at Walmart

Our pick: 50-inch Vizio V-Series TV

Why we like it

With nearly 10,000 reviews from Walmart customers, this 50-inch Vizio TV is sitting pretty with 4.4 out of 5 stars — and that's no easy feat. You might not expect much from a TV for under $300, but the V-Series offers 4K UHD picture quality, Dolby Vision Bright Mode, HDR10, a full array backlight, and active pixel tuning. Translation: it delivers a clear, sharp, and impressive picture that rivals that of a higher price tag. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with Apple Home and Google Assistant, making it a solid entry-level smart hub.

Our pick: HyperX QuadCast Gaming Microphone

Why we like it

Contemplating dabbling in streaming on Twitch or hosting a podcast? A reliable microphone is crucial to your starting setup. HyperX's QuadCast is an excellent-sounding USB condensing mic with a built-in pop filter for external muffles and quick adjustment features like tap to mute.

Best smartwatch deal at Walmart

Apple Watch Series 8

Our pick: Apple Watch Series 8 (GPS, 41mm)

Why we like it

Apple's latest smartwatch packs in a truly remarkable number of features, including blood oxygen monitoring, ECG, crash and fall detection, as well as ovulation tracking. If you're at all into wearable smart tech and have the budget to go above the new Apple Watch SE model, the Series 8 is as good as it's going to get right now.

Best audio deals at Walmart

Our pick: AirPods Pro (1st Gen)

Why we like them

The AirPods Pro are back down to last year's Black Friday price, three weeks ahead of the holiday. Though they may not have the updated active noise cancellation and improved battery life of the recently released second-gen Pros, they still have brag-worthy ANC, and at $159, are nearly $100 cheaper than the second gens.

Best laptop and tablet deals at Walmart

Our pick: Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite

Why we like it

If you need a tablet just for the basics (not to replace your laptop), there are worse moves than spending just over $100 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. With an 8.7-inch screen (that makes up an 80% body-to-screen ratio), it's the perfect little entertainment machine, either for plopping next to you at your desk or for keeping your kids entertained on a long car ride. And at $109, it's back down to its lowest price ever.

Best robot vacuum and upright vacuum deals at Walmart

iRobot Roomba i1+

Why we like it

"Roomba" and "budget-friendly self-emptying robot vacuum" typically aren't seen together in the same sentence. But worlds collide with this early Black Friday deal on the Roomba i1+, now $59 cheaper than its sale price during Walmart+ Weekend in June. This mid-range Roomba cleans floors with 10 times the suction power of the 600 Series, then retreats to its dock to empty what it has collected. You're off the hook from dealing with the dustbin for 60 days at a time.

Best kitchen and home deals at Walmart

Our pick: Vitamix 6500 Blender

Why we like it

Available to Walmart+ members now and opening to the public at 7 p.m. ET on Nov. 21, the nearly 50% off discount on this premium Vitamix is one you don't see often. The 6500 is a powerhouse wielding a 64-ounce jar and a 2.2 HP motor to cut through tough ingredients like ice and nuts. Pre-programmed settings for smoothies, hot soup, and frozen desserts streamline the process.

Our pick: Barbie Extra 5-Doll Set with 6 Pets and 70 styling pieces

Any Barbie fan on your list will freak over this mega set. This Barbie Extra box comes with five dolls, six pets, and 70 extra styling pieces. Typically almost $120, the early Black Friday discount of more than 50% on this set technically scores each doll for under $10.

Our pick: Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells

Why we like it

The Bowflex SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells are like having an entire rack of weights in your home without taking up any of the space that they normally would. Usually, these adjustable dumbbells are very hard to find, but they're back in stock and on sale at Walmart.

Our pick: Roku Ultra LT

Why we like it

This powerful media player can stream in HD, 4K, or HDR picture and includes a free pair of headphones for private listening. More importantly, it actually retails for $79, so this deal is even better than Walmart lets on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The days of in-store Black Friday shopping are effectively over (although you can still do that if you want to). Almost all the deals you would find at your local Walmart are available through the online store, with the added benefit of exclusive Walmart+ Early Access deals for those with a membership. You can start shopping a lot of them much earlier than Black Friday.

Walmart's Black Friday Deals for Days event is already underway. It began on Nov. 7, and will continue through the Black Friday shopping season. Every Monday in November, Walmart will release a collection of new discounts at 7 p.m. ET, with Walmart+ members being allowed to access the deals a full seven hours ahead of the scheduled start times. After the three main days of deals, Walmart will cap the holiday shopping season with their massive Cyber Monday sale on Nov. 28.
