The WalMart Black Friday ad dropped late last night, and as usual, the retail giant did not disappoint this year! Be sure to check out the ad for some awesome deals on some of this years hottest wish-list wants!
BROWSE THE WALMART BLACK FRIDAY AD
Missing from the WalMart Black Friday ad this year are the (in)famous WalMart One Hour Guarantee items. Time will tell if this will be offered again this year or if the store will be replacing it with a similar strategy for shoppers. As in previous years, though, there are some sweet TV deals dominating the first page of the ad. We can see a 40″ Roku Smart TV for only $98.00! There are also 50″ and 65″ Smart TVs for $148.00 and $278.00!

WalMart Black Friday Online
If you’re anything like us, you’d rather skip the lines and enjoy your holiday rather than braze the craziness of Black Friday in stores. For people like us, online shopping is where it’s at! Many of the WalMart Black Friday deals will be available online as well as in stores.
The online WalMart Black Friday sale will start at 10:00 PM EST on Wednesday, November 27th. Prices for the Black Friday items available online will automatically adjust at this time.
You won’t be the only one watching the clock that night, though! When the sale goes live, you have to be QUICK to grab the deals. Some deals sell out FAST! It’s best to bookmark your wishlist items now, so you’re ready to go when the deals go live. The easiest way I’ve found to do that is through the Black Friday ad online at WalMart.com. Hover over the items in the ad, click “Item Details”, then click “Shop Now”, and you’ll be taken directly to the product page.
WalMart offers free shipping on orders of $35.00 or more. For those of you making a purchase under $35.00, you can always opt for free store pickup.
Keep in mind, though, that some of the deals, particularly those marked as “Special Buy” may only be available in stores. So, if you aren’t able to grab a coveted deal online, you may have to bite the bullet and head to the store after all. A few of these “Special Buy” deals include the three TVs seen on the front page:
- onn 40″ Roku Smart TV — $98.00
- onn 50″ Class 4K Roku Smart TV — $148.00
- Philips 65″ Class 4K Android Smart TV — $278.00
