Walmart’s mega-popular event is back with a vengeance.
The big box store has revived its monthlong savings event for the 2021 holiday season, this time dividing it into three separate sales — the first of which just went live (on Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. EST) — and sprinkling in an extra perk for members.
Discounts on toys and electronics are the stars of this initial discount rollout, which remains an online exclusive until Friday, Nov. 5; after that, it continues with the same discounts in Walmart stores nationwide starting at 5 a.m. local time.
Walmart’s to have more of every featured item up for grabs “so as many customers as possible can take advantage of the season’s best deals” ( be damned), but do note that once a deal’s sold out, it’s over for good.
To that end, definitely consider signing up for Walmart+ ahead of this month’s other two Black Friday Deals for Days events: Members get early online access to each sale from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. EST the day they begin. (That’s on top of other Walmart+ benefits like unlimited free shipping and fuel discounts — to enroll for $98 a year.) It’s already proved itself very worthwhile, as an $87 sold out during Event 1’s sneak-peek phase and didn’t make it to the main sale.
Without any further ado, keep scrolling to check out our top picks from Event 1, or make a quick getaway to to peruse the sale in its entirety.
Best TV deals
Why we like it
Whether you’re more into playing GTA: Online or binging the , everything looks good on last year’s Samsung TU7000 Series TV, a 4K smart display with intelligent backlighting for stellar clarity, a zippy processor, and an Auto Game Mode that minimizes input lag. Get it on sale at Walmart for $568, or $82 off its $649.99 MSRP; ignore the site’s slightly lowballed list price.

Best robot vacuum deals
Why we like it
Pet hair is no match for this WiFi-enabled vacuum, which sports a tri-layer filtration system and three powerful, particle-loosening brushes. It can also run for up to 100 minutes at a time and dock itself to charge when it runs low on juice. Walmart will give it to you for just $99 during its first Black Friday Deals for Days event, which is 34% off its MSRP (and an of its holiday pricing there last year).
