Walmart is queen not just of Black Friday, but of the early Black Friday sale. Since 2020, Walmart has released multiple waves of official Black Friday deals in several-day chunks, and its second (and final) round for 2024 is almost here.

Check out some of the best deals for Walmart Black Friday Event 2:
Walmart Black Friday is a 2-part sale with two different waves every year.
The early Walmart Black Friday wave began Nov. 11, and the second Walmart Black Friday wave will start on Nov. 25. Then look for the Cyber Monday sale to begin on Dec. 1.
Walmart Black Friday Wave 1 is live Nov. 11 - 17, and Wave 2 is Nov. 25 - Dec. 1.
Walmart has officially announced the dates for their 2024 Black Friday sale. The first wave of early Black Friday at Walmart started Nov. 11 online (noon ET for Walmart+ members and 5 p.m. ET for everyone else) and ran through Nov. 17. Deals started in stores on Nov. 15.
Event 2 will begin at 5 p.m. ET on Monday, Nov. 25, and continue in stores at 6 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 29. Walmart+ members will get five hours of Early Access shopping on Nov. 25. One thing new for 2024: Walmart will drop new deals in the middle of the event, exclusively on Walmart.com and in the Walmart app.
Curious about Walmart Cyber Monday? This will be online only on Walmart.com and the Walmart app starting on Sunday, Dec. 1.

All Walmart Black Friday deals are available online first.
In fact, deals go live online five days before they go live in stores.
Monday, Nov. 25: Deals go live online at noon for paid members of the Walmart+ program, and at 5 p.m. ET for everyone else.
Friday, Nov. 29: Deals become available in stores at 6 a.m. local time.
Doorbusters are no longer a thing at Walmart Black Friday, but they sort of live on in the form of "Special Buys."
Walmart no longer has any exclusive in-store doorbusters. That said, when Walmart announces their Black Friday deals, pay attention to anything marked "Special Buy." This is Walmart’s term for items with super-low prices in limited quantities. Items labeled as “special buy” do drop online first (when the sale launches) and tend to sell out quickly. If stores have them stocked, you can sometimes find them there when the store deals launch on Friday.
Paid Walmart+ members will get early access to Black Friday deals online five hours before everyone else.
Enrolling in Walmart+ membership costs $98 a year, but it's on sale for half off through Dec. 2, making it $49 right now. In 2024, Walmart+ members get access to the deals five hours early for each part of the Black Friday event.
During Round 1 (which kicked off Nov. 11), a few items did end up selling out during the regular sale, but not during the early access period. It wasn't until days after the sale opened to the general public that we saw two popular deals go out of stock: A Hisense 50-inch TV for $138 and AirPods 3rd Generation for $94.
So there's really no reason to sign up for Walmart+ just to get the best Black Friday deals. The only exception would be if you're after a super hot item that's out of stock leading up to Black Friday and Walmart says they're going to restock during the early access period.

Walmart stores are closed on Thanksgiving.
Walmart stores haven’t been open on Thanksgiving since 2019.
Walmart stores will open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday.
Since 2020, Walmart has opened at 6 a.m. for Black Friday in-store shoppers, and they've confirmed that trend will continue in 2024.
Here's the deal on Walmart policies on Black Friday:
Price Matching: Walmart doesn't match any prices “that are on special events (including but not limited to clearance, Rollback, Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, or other limited-time promotions).” So no price matching on Black Friday.
Rain Checks: Walmart never offers rain checks. If something sells out on Black Friday, you can't ask Walmart to hold that price for you until it comes back.
Shipping: Walmart shipping and store pickup are free on orders of at least $35.
Returns: Walmart extends their return policy for the holidays. For most items purchased as early as Oct. 1, you have until Jan. 31 to return them.
Walmart Cyber Monday deals will begin Sunday, Dec. 1 — online and in the Walmart app only.
Walmart confirmed that Cyber Monday deals will be online only on Walmart.com and the Walmart app starting on Sunday, Dec. 1 — with more info to come. The deals will drop on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. if you're a Walmart+ member). Last year, the Walmart Cyber Monday sale lasted four days, which would mean it would end on Dec. 5 this year.
Walmart's Cyber Monday deals tend to be unique from their Black Friday deals. That doesn't mean they're always better, though. For example, last year, we saw a 55-inch Vizio 4K TV for $188 during the Walmart Black Friday sale and a 50-inch Vizio 4K TV for $198 on Cyber Monday. These were slightly different models, but in general, you actually got less screen size for your dollar on Cyber Monday. On the other hand, we saw the Bissell CrossWave vacuum priced $5 cheaper on Cyber Monday than on Black Friday. And we also saw Walmart repeat their $15 Black Friday price tag on popular toys — like the CoComelon Interactive Learning JJ Doll — on Cyber Monday.
So should you wait to shop until Cyber Monday? Definitely not. If you see a great deal during any wave of Walmart's Black Friday sale, jump on it. You could always rebuy an item and return the original if the price falls dramatically.
