Here are the best Black Friday deals to shop at Walmart as of Nov. 27:
Hisense 75-inch Class Quantum 4K ULED Smart TV (75H8G) — $1,299.99 (save $600)
Nintendo Switch Online 12-Month Subscription + free microSD Card — $34.99 (save $49.96)
9-in-1 Instant Pot Viva (6-quart) — $49 (save $50.99)
The elusive beast that is Walmart isn't following the calendar when it comes to Black Friday this year.
We've known for a while now that the monster big box store was switching up its Black Friday strategy — the new strategy being to treat the entire month of November as Black Friday. Instead of a single ad scan advertising items that will go on sale near Thanksgiving, Walmart dispersed a ton of special exclusive deals into three events throughout the month. Ads for the first two events (which are now over) came out together, and nearly a month later, the third and final ad hit BlackFriday.com. The last event was completely online and kicked off on Wednesday, Nov. 25 at 7 p.m. EST.
While stores remained closed on Thanksgiving, the party online never stopped. (As if we really believed that Walmart would let its streak end the day before Thanksgiving.) Instead, Walmart has been dropping new deals on daily, including resurrecting the $49 Instant Pot from the very first event and somehow still having the $169 AirPods Pro in stock.
Walmart's third ad satisfied our hankering for the last of this year's biggest items. Of course, we all knew that the Nintendo Switch Mario Kart bundle revival wouldn't last long. But for anyone who did manage to get their mitts on a Switch, buying a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership gets you a SanDisk 128GB microSD card for free — a savings of $49.98.
Below are the best of Walmart's Black Friday deals, chosen by us:
Headphone deals
OUR TOP PICK: AirPods Pro — $169 (save $80)
The AirPods Pro will officially be just $10 more than the original price of the cheapest AirPods. Given last year's lack of any real discount on the AirPods Pro, seeing their price drop consistently in the past few months — now to less than $170 — has been a hella pleasant surprise. This level of euphoric silence (achieved through scanning your environment 200 times per second) is rarely achieved with headphones that aren't over-ear or on-ear. The battery drainage ANC causes is mitigated by the wireless charging case, which lends an additional 18 to 24 hours of juice.
Note: The AirPods Pro have sold out but could be restocked at any point throughout Cyber Weekend.
Beats Solo3 — $119.99 (save $60)
Beats Powerbeats — $99 (save $50)
Gaming deals
OUR TOP PICK: Nintendo Switch Online 12-Month Subscription + free microSD Card — $34.99 (save $49.96)
The Nintendo Switch Mario Kart bundle that only comes around this time of year is sold out. (We'd be worried if it wasn't.) If you were lucky enough to claim one, your next steps are to get that Switch Online account up and running. A bundle from Walmart offers a 12-month subscription and tacks a free 128GB SanDisk microSD Memory Card — a must-have if you'll be accumulating a lot of games. Separately, these memory cards go for $49.96.
Nintendo Switch Rechargeable Controller — $29.99 (save $15.88)
PlayStation 5 — $499
PlayStation Plus (12-month membership) — $44.96 (save $15)

TV and streaming deals
OUR TOP PICK: Hisense 75-inch Class Quantum 4K ULED Smart TV (75H8G) — $1,299.99 (save $600)
Terms like "QLED" and "OLED" and "ULED" are infiltrating the 4K TV space. But are they really that much better than your current 4K plain LED TV? This deal on a 75-inch ULED model from Hisense is your way to test it out without spending too much. No dull scenes here: The one job of a quantum dot is to emit color — and they do it ferociously. Full array local dimming zones get peak brightness up to 700-nits, giving a mesmerizing glow to the more than one billion colors created by those quantum dots.

Laptop and tablet deals
OUR TOP PICK: Lenovo Ideapad 3 AMD Ryzen 5 3500U (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) — $399 (save $100)
Looking for a solid, no-fuss laptop under $500? Here's a steal: The hexa-core AMD processor fueling this model from Lenovo offers more threads for quicker multitasking and support for DDR4-3200 memory sticks (versus Intel). For anyone who might want to dabble with gaming without buying a dedicated gaming laptop, AMD's hexacore chip is quite adept at controlling lag.

Kitchen and home deals
OUR TOP PICK: 9-in-1 Instant Pot Viva (6-quart) — $49 (save $50.99)
The Instant Pot Viva sits stealthily between the Duo, which has fewer functions, and the more expensive Duo Plus, which has the same amount of functions but comes with a blue display and digital status icons. Ditching the fancier display to get nine appliance functions (including sous vide!) for less than $50 is one hell of a tradeoff.

Fitbit returned to its roots with the release of the Inspire 2 in August 2020. It meshes the simplicity of that recognizable, skinny bracelet tracker, plus high-end hardware like a heart rate monitor. See your different heart rate zones that determine when you've hit fat burn or cardio mode, or your Active Zones, which determine just how hard you're pushing yourself after switching zones. A free one-year trial of Fitbit Premium is included with your purchase.
