In fact, Walmart Black Friday 2021 deals kicked off Monday, with huge opportunities for savings, deals like the Apple Watch 3 for $109 and advanced Black Friday PS5 and Xbox availability. Perhaps unsurprisingly, those "door buster" Walmart deals are gone, but that doesn't mean you can't still find hundreds of chances to save for Walmart's Black Friday sale.

Walmart has the same Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Nintendo Switch bundle as its competitors, and in spite of being a repeat of last year's Nintendo Switch deal, it remains as popular as ever. There's a very real chance it's unavailable online, but you may luck out and find one in-store on Black Friday.

It lets you use your Switch to control a remote controlled car in real life, while using AR technology to place digital enemies and power-ups on the screen.

Is Walmart Open on Thanksgiving?
Walmart stores will be closed on Thursday, November 25 for the Thanksgiving holiday in the US.
When Does Walmart Black Friday Start?
Many Walmart locations will open their doors at 5 AM on Friday, November 26. Many of the online Black Friday deals from Walmart will be available in-store, so if you missed something online (like the Nintendo Switch OLED) you may luck out.
What is Walmart Plus?
Walmart+ is a paid membership program that gets you several bonuses in addition to early Black Friday deals. It gets you free shipping on all items, with no minimum purchase. You also get free delivery from your local store (this one has a $35 minimum purchase). You can also save money on prescriptions and gas. You can learn more about the Walmart+ program and sign up here.
Supply Chain Problems
The reason Black Friday is even more stretched out this year is because of the supply chain disruptions we've all been hearing a lot about lately. All retailers are worried about having items in stock for holiday shoppers to buy, thanks to a variety of issues mostly related to the pandemic. To keep the items from selling out immediately during the holiday shopping rush, retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, and more are offering Black Friday-level discounts early, in hopes that customers will do their shopping throughout October and November. So if you want to do your part to ease the pressure on the global supply chain, start your shopping early.
