Walmart is one of the biggest players when it comes to the Black Friday game, but don't let that overwhelm you. They're no stranger to online sales, so you can shop in your pajamas once again this year. If you want to venture in-store, however, we have details on what to expect there, too.

Check out our guide to find out everything about Walmart Black Friday deals in 2023, including the discounts you can score now.

The Top Walmart Black Friday Deals to Shop in 2023

Apple AirPods (2nd Gen) with Charging Case for $89.99: This is as low as the deal we saw Walmart offer earlier this month, but this is still a solid discount at nearly $40 off the regular price.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) for $169: These are once again at the best price we've seen outside of refurbished models. It beats all the previous deals we've seen by at least $20, so this is definitely the time to buy.

Apple Watch SE (2023 model) GPS 40mm for $179: This is the lowest price we've seen for this current-gen wearable, even beating deals we saw for Prime Big Deal Days last month.

Apple Watch Series 9 GPS 41mm for $329: We wouldn't expect to see notable drops on this product, as it was recently released. But this deal is an all-time low for the latest model and even better than what we saw a couple of weeks ago.

Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones for $99: This is absolutely the best price we've ever seen for these headphones and $51 under the previous all-time low.

Hisense 75" Roku TV for $398: There's no other way to say it: this is an amazing deal on a set this size. We've seen no-name TVs in this size class go for $100 more than this excellent Black Friday offer, and Hisense is a pretty respected brand. This is one of the truly standout deals of Black Friday 2023, so if you have room for a big-screen set, this is the one to add to your cart. Just remember to check if your local Walmart has the TV available for pickup.

Samsung 55" 4K smart TV for $298: This Black Friday deal is notable for being a midsize set from a big brand. It also beats the average Black Friday TV price we saw last year for this class size by $176. Check to see if your local Walmart has the set available.

TCL 55" 4K UHD HDR smart Roku TV for $188: You'll need to check with your local store to see if this deal is available, but if it is, then it's an excellent one. Not only is this a great price for a 55" TV in general, but TCL is a respectable brand and this is the lowest price we've seen for a 55" Roku TV since 2020.

HP DeskJet All-in-One Wireless Color Inkjet Printer for $49: Printers might not be on a lot of shopping lists, but they still come in handy, particularly if you have kids or need to print assignments or forms. What makes this Black Friday deal so noteworthy is that it's almost 50% off. It's already pretty reasonably priced, so the cut just makes this offer even sweeter.

Crocs Baya Clog Sandals for $24.99: These clogs may have started with a silly reputation, but plenty of people swear by their comfort and easy care now. If you're looking to add some to your wardrobe, these are good for men or women, and come in several different colors. Some varieties may only be available for store pickup, though. Stock up for nearly 50% off while you can (they normally go for around $40).

Men's Wrangler Jeans for $13: You'll find Big Men's Regular Fit Jeans with Flex as part of this deal, too. They're available in a range of denim shades, which makes this name-brand offer even better.

Squishmallows Official Plush 10" for $5: Squishmallows are very popular with kids, and that's not likely to change anytime soon. In general, this is a very strong deal on a 10" Squishmallow, and comes in four different styles. You'll need to check to see if your local Walmart has it available.

Solo Stove Ranger 2.0 With Stand for $185.49: Solo Stoves are beloved by many for their smokeless design, and this model is at the best price we've seen. It's $27 less than what we saw a couple of weeks ago and a solid deal in general for this brand.

Nintendo Switch Lite Animal Crossing Bundle for $199: This is Timmy & Tommy's Aloha Edition. It includes the full download of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and is perfect for fans of the franchise who want a colorful console.

What to Expect From Walmart Black Friday Deals in 2023

We expect the Walmart Black Friday ad to drop around November 1, based on trends from the past few years. Note that the retailer could have multiple ads if it hosts more than one Black Friday promotion in 2023, like it did last year with its Black Friday Deals for Days events.

In an ordinary year, Walmart Black Friday deals would roll out on Thanksgiving evening, or even the night before. But 2020 changed the game, and over the past few years we've seen Walmart host multiple Black Friday events during November.

We're expecting a 2023 Walmart Black Friday ad to come out no later than November 1.

We expect no different for 2023. Last year, Walmart's first Black Friday Deals for Days event started online on November 7, with in-store deals beginning on November 9. The second event started online on November 14 and in-store on November 16. And the third event started online on November 21 and then in-store on Black Friday itself, November 25. We should see a similar schedule this year if Walmart sticks to the trends of the past few years.

Walmart will once again be closed on Thanksgiving in 2023. That marks the fourth year of such closures for the retailer. You'll still be able to shop Walmart deals online, though!

Walmart stores opened at 6 am on Black Friday 2022. We expect similar Black Friday store hours at Walmart this year, but you may want to confirm with your local store if you're heading in to shop. Walmart's store finder is one way to check hours at individual Walmart locations.

Black Friday deals at Walmart should start around November 20 this year, even if we have a couple of weeks of pre-Black Friday offers before that. These early promotions could serve as a kind of preview for Black Friday, but we expect be some excellent savings within them, as well.

The best time to shop for Black Friday deals at Walmart is going to be as soon as they start rolling out. That means we could see savings as soon as November 6 this year — if not even sooner.

Walmart's Black Friday deals cover a huge variety of categories. While not every single item offered by the retailer gets a discount for Black Friday, that doesn't mean we won't see savings on almost everything.

Count on electronics being a particularly huge category. It covers TVs, laptops, and smartphones, but we'll also likely see Walmart deals on toys, home goods, and small kitchen appliances.

Walmart Black Friday TV Deals Will Start at $98

Yes, you read that right — we're expecting at least one Walmart Black Friday TV deal to drop under $100. Last year, an onn. 40" Roku smart TV dropped to just $98 around Black Friday. There's a chance we could see prices this low again for 2023.

Walmart will likely have standout Black Friday deals on TVs, phones, and laptops in 2023.

If you're on the fence about the brand, know that Walmart will probably have other notable Black Friday TV deals from bigger names. For instance, we saw a TCL 65" 4K Roku smart TV last year for $228, which was an incredible price for a set that size. Need something even bigger? Watch for Walmart TV deals like a Vizio 70" V-Series 4K SmartCast smart TV for $448 to return in 2023. Other notable Walmart Black Friday TV deals last year included the following:

  • LG 65" 4K smart TV for $398
  • Samsung 50" 4K smart TV for $459
  • Sony 48" MASTER Series BRAVIA OLED 4K TV for $898

Walmart Black Friday Phone Deals Will Be Bundled With Gift Cards

Walmart is one of the biggest retailers for finding excellent phone deals around Black Friday every year. Whether you're looking for a new handset or a previous generation, there's a good chance that Walmart will have an unbeatable offer. In 2022, the retailer's Black Friday phone deals included the following:

  • Apple iPhone SE 64GB for Straight Talk (2020) for $99
  • Apple iPhone 11 64GB for Straight Talk for $199
  • Apple iPhone 14 128GB for AT&T plus $300 Walmart gift card for $22 per month for 36 months
  • Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max 128GB for AT&T plus $300 Walmart gift card for $31 per month for 36 months
Looking beyond iPhones? Similar offers will likely be available for smartphones from brands like Samsung, among others.

Walmart Black Friday Laptop Deals Could Drop to Less Than $100

Laptops are another major category for Black Friday deals, and we expect Walmart to offer some of the best savings of the year on a variety of machines. For instance, in 2022, they offered a Gateway 14.1" ultra-slim notebook for just $99. The model was normally priced at $229, which isn't terribly expensive for a laptop, but it's hard to beat that $99 price tag. And offers like this can sell fast, so be on your toes when Walmart Black Friday laptop deals start rolling out.

Other standout Walmart laptop deals included an Acer Swift 3 14" laptop for $379 and a Lenovo IdeaPad 1i 14" laptop for $179. Looking for a MacBook? One of the best offers we saw was a bundle featuring a refurbished/open-box Apple MacBook Pro with a wireless mouse, case, and Bluetooth headset for $399. Want a portable rig for gaming? Walmart had a couple of notable gaming laptop deals last Black Friday, too, including a Lenovo Legion 5 15.6" gaming laptop for $599, as well as an MSI GF Series 15.6" laptop with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics for $499.

The traditional Black Friday doorbuster has kind of disappeared since the onset of the pandemic. That is, the notion of standing in line for hours starting at 4 am to try to get your hands on a rock-bottom price on a new big-screen TV is gone. But that doesn't mean you can't find a doorbuster at all anymore. We often see great prices on TVs, tablets, and other electronics, in addition to items like small kitchen appliances.

Walmart+ members can receive early access to select Walmart Black Friday deals.

Walmart is no stranger to offering extra perks to members of its Walmart Plus program — stylized as Walmart+. But when it comes to Black Friday, it's not so much additional or better savings. Instead, Walmart+ members can receive early access to select Black Friday deals, just for being a member.

Walmart suspends its price matching policy during Black Friday, like many other retailers. The retailer is already pretty restrictive in that they don't offer price matching online, period. Instead, Walmart price matches purchases in-store as long as the shopper requests and shows proof of the lower price on Walmart.com during the checkout process. But when it comes to Black Friday, Walmart won't price match its online prices at all.

One of the easiest ways to stay ahead of Walmart's Black Friday plans is to sign up for email newsletters. That way you'll be one of the first to know about upcoming events. If you want to take it a step further, consider following Walmart on your favorite social platforms, too. Newsletters are a great way to find out about different events, but social media is a good way to keep an eye on special savings, as well.

Expect Walmart to start its Cyber Monday events on November 26 this year. Cyber Monday is on November 27 in 2023, but it's likely that Walmart will follow last year's playbook. If that's the case, then we'll see the first Cyber Monday deals start by 7 pm ET on November 26.

Walmart will likely have deals on nearly every category for Cyber Monday, but we've covered some of the standout offers from last year below. You can expect similar savings to pop up again for Walmart's 2023 Cyber Monday event.

Excellent offers on TVs and streaming media players will no doubt show up for the holiday. Last year, we saw a Sony BRAVIA 65" OLED TV for $1,298, as well as an Apple TV HD 32GB model for $59. Granted, that Apple TV wouldn't support 4K TVs, but it was a super-affordable option for those who might not be on the 4K TV train and have no immediate plans to jump on it either.

We expect to see seriously great offers on home appliances, too. For instance, in 2022 Walmart had the Vitamix 6500 blender for $399. That was $200 less than what it normally cost and an excellent reason to finally buy for shoppers who'd been on the fence. Another household item that came with noteworthy savings was the Eufy Clean by Anker RoboVac G32 Pro robot vacuum for just under $100. That was also $200 off its normal price and an excellent way to try out robot vacuums without a huge investment.

Cyber Monday will also be a good time to watch for toy deals. Last year, Walmart had the LEGO Ideas Central Perk set for $40. They also offered Disney's Encanto Singing Sisters dolls and a Hot Wheels Massive Loop Mayhem track set for around $30 each.

More FAQs About Shopping at Walmart

What Is Walmart+?

Walmart+ is a membership program that's similar to Amazon Prime but costs significantly less. For $98 per year, Walmart+ members receive free delivery from the retailer's stores, free shipping with no minimum order, up to 5% Walmart Cash on select travel bookings, product returns from home, and a Paramount+ subscription for free. Plus, Walmart+ members save 10 cents per gallon of gas at select stations. The program has other benefits, as well, but these are some of the best.

Does Walmart Have Curbside Pickup Options?

Walmart offers a few different ways to receive your orders, but in-store and curbside pickup are two of the more popular ones. That's because they provide the convenience of shopping online with the instant gratification of getting your items quickly. When shopping at Walmart.com, just choose "Pickup" to get your items that way. Then you can decide whether to go inside to pick up your purchases, or opt to have Walmart associates load them into your car.
