Walmart is the third major retailer to formally and officially announce its Black Friday plans, after Target and Best Buy. Early Black Friday deals this year are good, and you should be checking them out if you haven’t already. However, make sure to shop smartly this Black Friday so you don’t end up duped or overspending. But since you’re a savvy shopper, here is what you can expect from Walmart this Black Friday.
Early Black Friday deals for Walmart+ members
This year, Walmart+ members will have access to every online Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale three hours before they are released to the public to get first dibs on deals. In an effort to get more people to sign up for their membership, Walmart is currently offering their annual membership plan for 50% off until Nov. 8 (you’ll be auto-renewed for $98 per year unless you cancel).
