Cyber Monday and Black Friday are around the corner, and with more retailers participating in the sale than ever it has become quite an overwhelming experience. But with that being said, there is a chance to be rewarded with more savings than ever as long as you look in the right places. It’s always smart to start at the popular big-box retailers such as Target, Walmart, and Best Buy. These types of retailers typically offer the steepest savings on the most popular Black Friday items such as electronics and houseware.
Year after year, Walmart is at the top when it comes to popular Black Friday destinations and this year is no different. Walmart’s 2017 Black Friday ad is packed with incredible deals from cover to cover so here is our guide for the must-know deals that you won’t want to miss.
Disclaimer: For certain electronics, such as laptops and TVs, manufacturer’s will make “derivative” models exclusively for Black Friday. These “derivative” models usually differ from a current model by just 1 or 2 slight component differences. Because of this, some of the figures for “Regular Price” will be estimated and marked with “~”.
