There are no Black Friday doorbuster sales more closely watched than Walmart. And the retailer is going out of its way to remind people why for the 2019 holiday season.
According to scans of the ad, provided by the retailer, it will match competitor prices on some items and is even undercutting them on others, some of which are likely to be among the most in-demand gifts this holiday season.
As usual, some deals will be available online starting at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 27, while others will be available starting at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving. (Get there early and Walmart will give you cocoa, coffee and cookies, starting at 4 p.m.)
It’s a lot to go through. The flyer is 32 pages this year. If you don’t have time to look through it, here are some of the best deals Walmart is offering this holiday season.
TV deals
Onn. 50-inch 4K Roku Smart TV ($148)
A sub-$150 price for a 50-inch 4K smart TV is staggeringly low. It’s a store brand, but it’s still $30 lower than Target’s similar offer, according to the analysts at BestBlackFriday.com.
Phillips 65-inch 4K Smart TV ($278)
Want the security of a name brand set? This Android TV lets you stream Netflix, HBO Go and Vudu effortlessly, with a rock bottom price for a screen this size.
Smartphone deals
iPhone XS / Galaxy S10, S10+ or Note10 ($450 gift card)
Newer phone models from Apple and Samsung generally don’t see major price cuts during the holidays, but retailers supplement that with gift cards and trade ins. The $450 gift card Walmart is offering with activation of any of these models is far beyond any other offers this year. And you can extend the savings even further with a $250 eligible trade in.
iPhone 11, 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max ($300 gift card)
The incentive on Apple’s latest flagship is lower, but the $300 e-gift card is still $100 more than Target is offering. Again, consumers can cut the price another $250 with an eligible trade in.
Kitchen gadget deals
Instant Pot 6 Qt. Vortex Air Fryer ($49)
Fry healthy with this popular product from Instant Pot and save money in the process. BestBlackFriday notes the Walmart price is $20 lower than Macy’s.
Instant Pot 6 Qt. Duo ($49)
The hot cooking tool sees a $30 price drop bringing it in line with what Amazon charged for it on Prime Day earlier this year.
Other tech deals
Apple Watch Series 3 ($129)
While it’s not the most recent version of the popular watch, you won’t find a better price—and it’s a good onramp for people unsure of whether they want a smart watch. The price is for the 38mm version. The larger 42mm version will run $159.
NETGEAR Nighthawk AX3000 Router ($99)
Get lightning fast WiFi in your home at $100 off the regular price.
