INSIDE: Nov. 28, 2024, 3:12 pm EST We’ve updated this story with more information about our top four picks.

The second Walmart Black Friday Deals event started on Monday, Nov. 25 for a $178 55-inch 4K Roku TV, $29 JBL noise-cancelling headphones, and new record prices on several Apple gadgets.

The deals will be up for grabs online and on Walmart’s mobile app until Sunday, December 1, unless they sell out first — although a few items that disappeared earlier in the week were back in stock at the time of writing. That includes $30 for digital copies of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of Empire and a $49 Nintendo Switch Pro controller.

Select offers from the auction will arrive at Walmart stores at 6 a.m. local time on Nov. 29, also known as Black Friday.

The big-box store has joined other major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Target in dropping Black Friday deals ahead of the actual holiday. It launched its first round of doorbusters on November 11.

Mashable’s team of hunting experts knows how to sort out the best deals from duds (we’ve covered Black Friday sales since 2017), and we’re keeping a running list of Walmart’s best deals on popular tech and gifts this season. That includes TVs, laptops, headphones, gaming gear, vacuums, beauty technology, and Legos.

Keep scrolling to see our picks — and check back often, as Walmart plans to drop more deals at random throughout the week as its Black Friday deals event continues. A quick FYI Walmart does not match prices, but their extended return/exchange policy will be valid until Dec. 31. Includes many items purchased in stores and online.

The Best Apple Deal

Why we love it:

Due out in 2022, Apple’s current smartwatch features activity tracking, high/low heart rate alerts, crash detection, and long battery life — it lasted just over 27 hours per charge in our testing. (Mashable Tech editor Kim Gedeon recommends it for “sustainability-oriented” users.) Walmart has beaten everyone else on the price of a compact 40mm cell phone except for Amazon, with its $100 discount during its Black Friday sale. . It was $169 at Best Buy and $169.99 at Target when we last checked. Your color options are midnight and starlight.

The best TV deal

Why we love it:

This is the cheapest TV deal we’ve seen in the 55-inch size category this Black Friday season, and the competition is fierce. Best Buy’s less expensive rival hovers around the same $179.99, while Amazon’s cheapest option costs $299.99 — though that model has a nice, bright QLED display. (If you want to step up to QLED, Walmart still has Amazon beat: A 55-inch QLED 4K TV, also by Hisense, is $288 at the big-box store.)

Other places to stay at Walmart:

A great deal on games

Why we love it:

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

Amazing sequence Wild Spirit was one of Mashable’s favorite games of 2023, and it’s never been this cheap before. (It actually sold once for this price earlier in the week; it was back in stock at the time of writing.) Note that the Walmart deal only applies to digital copies of ToTKwhich means you won’t find anything to wrap – but you the will you can start playing it immediately.

Other places to stay at Walmart:

Video games

Games consoles and bundles

Note: Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Vacation packages are both cheap The target and the best Buy itso avoid buying them at Walmart unless they are out of stock elsewhere.

Game controllers

Gaming headsets

Gamekeepers

A great headphone/earbud deal

Why we love it:

Full disclosure: Our initial reaction to seeing this deal was, Is this allowed? Twenty-nine bucks is a surprisingly and stupidly low price for a solid pair of comfortable budget headphones with good noise cancellation and long battery life. (JLab rates them at 70 hours; we’re currently testing them and feel that’s accurate.) Elsewhere, the JBuds Lux ANC will cost $46.99 on Amazon and $49.99 on JLab’s website, so you never know How Walmart accomplished this. one. Choose from four colors: graphite, cloud, green, and mauve.
