Walmart’s three-part Deals for Days event crescendos on Monday, Nov. 22 with the start of its official Black Friday sale, and paying members of its subscription service get first dibs on “its biggest, best savings of the season” at 3 p.m. ET — four hours sooner than the general public.
Hot-ticket items like an $87 Samsung Chromebook and a Jurassic World LEGO set were enough to make subscribers swarm the early-access phases of Walmart’s first and second sales, but truth be told, those deals pale in comparison to this third one’s lineup.
On top of a $109 Apple Watch Series 3, $159 AirPods Pro, and the revival of last year‘s $299 Nintendo Switch bundle, the big box store also has PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S restocks slated for 4 p.m. ET. (Note that they’re not on sale, just available again. We’ll take it.)
Again, you’ll only be able to get a jumpstart on those offers if you’re a paying Walmart+ member; for everyone else, the sale continues online at 7 p.m. ET and in stores at 5 a.m. local time on Friday, Nov. 26. Plans start at $12.95 a month or $98 a year (and include other perks like unlimited free shipping and fuel discounts) — a small price to pay for a long-awaited chance at a next-gen console, no?
Even if you don’t wind up signing up for Walmart+, take the advice of our pals over at IGN (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, ZiffDavis) and at least make a Walmart.com account to streamline the checkout process. When items go live, “the few seconds you save by not having to re-enter in all your [shipping and payment] info could mean the difference between bringing home a PS5 or getting a dreaded ‘sorry, this item is no longer available’ message,” said tech and commerce editor Seth G. Macy.
