Walmart Black Friday deals — best early sales in 2021

Walmart Black Friday deals are starting early. The retailer recently announced that its first batch of Black Friday deals will begin on Wednesday, November 3. The initial sale will be joined by subsequent sales on November 10 and at a later (undisclosed) date in November. This is similar to Walmart's strategy last year. It's also in line with the likes of Best Buy, Amazon, and Target — which have all held holiday previews during the past few weeks.

That said, there are a few twists that are worth noting this year. For instance, Walmart Plus members will get early access to all of the retailer's holiday sales. This is especially helpful for some of the more popular Walmart deals, like the $89 AirPods which the retailer promises to have on November 10.

In addition, Walmart's last PS5 restock (held on October 28) was also for Walmart Plus members only. Given how difficult it's been to score a PS5, we wouldn't be surprised if Walmart Plus members get first dibs on November's console drops as well.

As we approach the holidays, we're here to guide you through the best Walmart Black Friday deals of 2021. So bookmark this page as we bring you all the latest sales as they're announced.

Walmart Black Friday deals — best early sales

Walmart Black Friday deals — Nov. 10 sales

The following sales have been confirmed by Walmart, but they won't go live till November 10. Highlights include the AirPods for just $89, which is $10 cheaper than last year's sale and the cheapest price ever for Apple's buds.

Walmart Black Friday deals will start early

Prior to releasing its official batch of holiday deals, Walmart held three events in November of last year titled the Walmart Deals for Days event. All of the events were held in the evening and the deals got better as the month progressed.

Walmart has confirmed its event is back for 2021 and will be held November 3 and November 10. (The third date has yet to be disclosed). The event is similar to sales we're seeing now such as the Amazon Epic Daily Deals sale.

Some of the discounts offered during last year's Walmart Black Friday Deals for Days event included an Onn 50-inch Roku 4K TV for $128, Magic Bullet Blender for $15, Eufy robot vacuums from $99, and up to 50% off Fischer-Price and LOL Surprise toys. Apple fans also saw the AirPods on sale at an all-time low of $99, whereas the Apple Watch 3 plummeted to just $119, a record price low that we haven't seen since last November.

Given how strong Walmart's early November deals were, our advice for 2021 is to buy early. That way you avoid shipping delays and future price increases.

Walmart and PS5 restocks

The PS5 was too new for it to make a splash last holiday season. However, we're nearing the console's 1-year anniversary and it's just as hard to find it in stock today as it was on the day of its release. There have been numerous PS5 restock events at Walmart, but the retailer — renown for its doorbuster in-store sales — has yet to offer an in-store PS5 drop.

Given the struggles that Walmart — and many other retailers — have faced with restocks, it's likely Walmart will offer an in-person console drop as we get close to Black Friday. There's even a chance it could offer in-store and online restocks. (As part of its Walmart Black Friday deals event, the retailer offered PS5 consoles on the night before Thanksgiving last year).

To date, rivals Best Buy and GameStop have both offered in-store console drops, which makes Walmart one of the last big-name retailers who hasn't offered an in-store drop.

That said, you can also expect to see online drops from Walmart. In fact, Walmart is one of only a few retailers to offer evening PS5 restocks. (Usually starting at 9 p.m. ET). We wouldn't be surprised if Walmart Black Friday deals begin with an evening restock of the PS5, XSX, and XSX Halo Edition.
