Walmart Black Friday 2021 — Deals on TVs, tablets and vacuums - NBC News

Walmart’s official Black Friday sale is here. Today, the retailer kicked off its Black Friday savings, which it says features the store’s “biggest, best savings for the season.” The event will run through Nov. 28 and includes discounts on everything from TVs and smartwatches to vacuums and small appliances. Notably, Walmart says it will also be restocking the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, both of which have been notoriously hard to secure due to global chip shortages. Ahead of the shopping holiday, the retailer hosted a monthlong Deals for Days savings event with new product drops on Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 online.

Unlike last year, Walmart is heavily promoting its Walmart+ membership by offering subscribers exclusive early access to the sale. Anyone with a Walmart+ membership will be able to shop Black Friday deals four hours earlier than the general public. Walmart+ members will have access to deals online starting today at 3 p.m. EDT — everyone else can start shopping online at 7 p.m. EDT. If you want to shop in stores, the deals will be available starting on Nov. 26 at 5 a.m. in your time zone.

Other retailers — including Best Buy, Kohl’s and Amazon — are also starting their Black Friday sales early in light of ongoing supply chain disruptions and the rising competitiveness of Black Friday in general. Labor shortages, border control issues and the lack of a global vaccine pass have resulted in shipment delays that threaten to keep shelves bare.

With previous Select coverage and reader interest in mind, we combed through Walmart’s Black Friday deals and highlighted some noteworthy ones to consider. We determined these are the best deals by checking prices against other retailers and price tracking tools like Honey.
