Walmart Black Friday 2021 Plans
We laid out Walmart’s Black Friday plans for 2021 in our previous blog post. They’ve broken their sale into three separate events that will feature both online and in-store deals. A timeline for the events is as follows.
Event 1 – November 3 & 5
Online deals begin 11/3 at 7 PM ET while their in-store deals begin 11/5 at 5 AM ET at your store’s local time. Watch for deals on toys and electronics during this first event.
Event 2 – November 10 & 12
Online deals begin 11/10 at 7 PM ET. In-store deals will start 11/12 at 5 AM local time. This event features more home goods, kitchen appliances, movies, music, and more.
Event 3 – November 22 & 26
The third and final Black Friday event at Walmart will begin online on November 22 and deals will be available in-store on Black Friday, November 26. We’ve added the last 20 pages from the third event to the Walmart Black Friday ad, and you can see our picks for the top Black Friday deals below!
The Best Walmart Black Friday Deals – Event 1
TCL 55″ 4K Smart TV with Roku
Current price: n/a
Black Friday price: $228
This TCL 55″ 4K Smart TV model is Black Friday specific and so it is not on their website right now for price comparison. They did this last year as well and had a very similar model for $148. This year the Black Friday price is at a higher point, $228, which we did expect.
Walmart had a very similar model for $278 in January (after last year’s holiday sales). The next best price we’ve seen this year on a similar model was $350 in June, so this is still a great price.
Samsung Chromebook 4
Current price: $129
Black Friday price: $87
Last year we saw the Samsung Chromebook 4 drop to $199 at Walmart in October. This $87 price point is the lowest we’ve ever seen for this Chromebook, but we may see this same price from other retailers as well.
Rainbow High Doll 6-Pack
Current price: $119
Black Friday price: $64
With some of these Rainbow High dolls selling for $15-$25 individually, a 6-pack for $64 is an excellent deal.
Samsung Galaxy Buds+
Current price: $99
Black Friday price: $59
The next best price we’ve seen on these Samsung Galaxy Buds+ this year was $100 from Verizon back in May. They’re currently selling for $100 on Amazon and this price is a great deal for wireless earbuds from a well-known brand like Samsung.
Eufy Robot Vacuum
Current price: $119.95
Black Friday price: $99
The Eufy vacuums are a huge hit among Brad’s Deals editors. This Robovac is one of our favorite lesser-known brands and the $99 price for this robot vacuum matches Walmart’s 2020 price. It beats the next best price of $109 that we saw from BuyDig earlier in October of this year.
Emeril Lagasse 5-Quart Air Fryer
Current price: n/a
Black Friday price: $39
This Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer is another Black Friday exclusive deal like the TCL Smart TV above. It is not currently available on the site to purchase or price compare. Other 5-quart air fryers with the same functionality have sold for around $60 this year.
Keurig K-Compact Single-Serve Coffee Maker
Current price: $67
Black Friday price: $35
Matching last year’s Black Friday price, this Keurig k-Compact is back for just $35! This matches the lowest price we’ve ever seen for any Keurig model and if you didn’t get one last year, you have another chance this year.
Set of 6 Washcloths or Bath Towel
Current price: $3.97
Black Friday price: $1.75
If you need some replacement bath towels or washcloths, you really can’t beat paying under $2.
The Best Walmart Black Friday Deals – Event 2
Blackstone 22″ Griddle Bundle
Current price: n/a
Black Friday price: $117
Our deal editor Julie notes that this is a HOT product this year, with a very much intended pun. This 22″ Blackstone Griddle Bundle is a Black Friday exclusive, so there is no current price for comparison. Walmart had the 17″ griddle for $84 back in June of 2020, but this is the lowest we’ve seen for the 22″ this year. Similar Blackstone griddles are running around $150 without the hardtop cover and carrying case.
Shark EZ Self-Empty Robot Vacuum
Current price: $499
Black Friday price: $288
This Shark EZ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum deal is the one I’m most excited about. Other Shark bagless robot vacuums are $500-$600 and the $288 price point is something I can get behind! Other than refurbished models, this is the lowest price we’ve seen on a self-emptying robot vacuum this year.
Apple AirPods
Current price: $119
Black Friday price: $89
This Apple AirPods deal is $10 less than Walmart’s Black Friday AirPods deal from 2020 and $11 under the lowest price we’ve seen all year ($100 at Amazon in June).
Canon MG2522 Wired Printer
Current price: $40
Black Friday price: $29
Printers have been hard to find during the pandemic with many people setting up home offices, but this Canon PIXMA Wired Printer deal is excellent. We’re wary about it being in stock, but it’s a great price even for a wired printer.
Gourmia Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Current price: $89
Black Friday price: $49
This Gourmia Air Fryer Toaster Oven is the best price we’ve seen on a combination air fryer toaster oven this year. Kohl’s had a similar model from the same brand back in April of 2020 for $56 with $10 in Kohl’s Cash making it a better offer, but for 2021, this is a solid choice!
$10 Yankee Candles
Current price: $18.88
Black Friday price: $10
Snag yourself a few $10 Large Jar Yankee Candles. Just promise me that you’ll make sure to get at least one in the best holiday scent ever created, Balsam & Cedar.
Shark Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum
Current price: $279
Black Friday price: $159
Similar models are currently running around $240 on Amazon and we did see a Shark Rocket Pro last year at Walmart for $139. This is still a very competitive price for a cordless Shark Pet Pro vacuum.
The Best Walmart Black Friday Deals – Event 3
Rubbermaid Flex Seal 26-Piece Food Storage Set at Walmart
Current price: $32
Black Friday price: $7
Normally $32, this 26-piece set comes with Easy Find Lids and in blue or red color options.
7.5′ Pre-Lit LED Color Change Christmas Tree at Walmart
Current price: n/a
Black Friday price: $68
This Christmas tree is easy to set up and is pre-lit with 350 color-changing LED lights that have eight different color-changing light effects.
Kid’s 6 Volt Powered Bumper Car with LED Lights
Current Price: $100
Black Friday Price: $69
This battery-powered bumper car comes in 4 Disney styles including Frozen, Minnie Mouse, Paw Patrol, and Spiderman. It’s built for kids from 18 months to 4 years and up to 66 lbs.
Bestway Tritech Queen Air Mattress Built-in AC Pump
Current Price: $69.97
Black Friday Price: $39
This queen-size air mattress has an antimicrobial plush coating and the built-in AC pump inflates it in 5 minutes. This matches the best pricing we’ve seen this year on this size air mattress with a built-in pump.
PowerXL 12-Quart Air Fryer Oven
Current Price: $119.99
Black Friday Price: $69
This is a great deal on an air fryer oven with this capacity. We’ve seen 10-quart air fryer ovens for around this price this year, but the 12-quart size at under $70 is a price low.
The Pioneer Woman Sweet Romance 30-Piece Nonstick 
Cookware and Prep Set
Current Price: $199
Black Friday Price: $79
This 30-piece Pioneer Woman Cookware and Prep set comes with non-stick cookware with lids, a cast-iron skillet, bakeware, measuring spoons, knives, and utensils. It’s a whole kitchen in one package!
