Walmart Black Friday deals live blog: $98 40-inch TV, over 50% off Roku and more

The holidays wouldn't be the same without toy deals. Whether you're shopping for a child or yourself — Walmart has a handful of board games, puzzles, Lego sets, and more on sale from $5. A few noteworthy items include Connect 4, Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar, Nerf Motorized Blaster, Just Play Barbie Figures, and more. This is the biggest toy sale I can remember seeing from Walmart, so it's definitely worth browsing if you have any kids on your shopping list. 

• HP Chromebook: $98 $79 @ Walmart

There are a lot of budget-friendly laptops/Chromebooks on sale at Walmart right now. If you're looking for the utmost cheapest one around, the HP 11-inch Chromebook is on sale for $79. It features an 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 LCD, AMD A4 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. Keep in mind that those specs are probably fine for young kids (or light Web-based surfing), but it might be a tad underpowered for any sort of hardcore multitasking. In other words, this is good for kids or as a coffee table laptop used for internet browsing. 

• LG C2 42" 4K OLED TV: $1,596 $896 @ Walmart

G'morning, all! Deals editor Louis here back for the second Walmart Deals for Days event. The event kicks off at 12 p.m. (ET) for Walmart Plus members or 7 p.m. (ET) for everyone else. This is the second of three events (the last one is planned next Monday). There are lots of deals confirmed for today along with a lot of great deals you can get this second, so let's just jump right in. 

See this TV here? I'm hoping to buy it this holiday season. (I'm debating between the 55-inch or 65-inch). If you don't have a large budget or if you don't have a large room, right now Walmart has the 42-inch model on sale for $896. That's $100 cheaper than it was last week and the lowest price ever for this TV. (Larger models are also on sale, but this size merits a shout because it's $100 cheaper now). If you're not familiar with this TV, we named it the best TV of 2022. 

• LG 32" UltraGear QHD Gaming Monitor: $349 $200 @ Walmart

This deal is for all the PC gamers out there. Walmart has the LG 32-inch QHD Gaming monitor on sale for $200. That's $150 off and one of the cheapest 32-inch QHD monitors we've ever seen. While it didn't make it onto our list of the best gaming monitors in 2022, it still offers impressive specs for the money — notably a 165Hz refresh rate for buttery smooth gameplay.

• Samsung JetBot: $599 $249 @ Walmart

I like the Samsung JetBot because it's both stylish and smart (thanks to its LIDAR sensors which help it avoid objects). As part of its Black Friday deals, Walmart is slashing its price down to just $249, which is an epic deal! Heads up — Walmart says it normally costs $1,299, which is a flat out lie. (When not on sale, it normally sells for $599 at Samsung). Nevertheless, it's an epic steal at $249. In our Samsung JetBot AI+ review we mentioned that other vacuums are better at actually vacuuming, but the JetBot's mix of obstacle detection, home monitoring, and alternative cleaning patterns makes it a winner — especially when the discount is as juicy as today's deal. 

• Fitbit Versa 2: $149 $99 @ Walmart

Keep those holiday pounds at bay this season with the help of the Fitbit Versa 2. It's currently on sale for $99 at Walmart. While the Fitbit Versa 2 has since been surpassed by the Fitbit Versa 4, it's still a great entry-level smartwatch, especially at this all-time low price. It offers an attractive design that mimics the look of an Apple Watch, a solid battery life, sleep tracking, and customizable training programs (although you will need a Fitbit subscription for that feature). It's not a flagship Fitbit anymore, but it's a great smartwatch for first timers and still offers more than enough useful features to be worth the cost of entry. 

• TCL 43" 4-Series 4K Roku Smart TV: $258 $218 @ Walmart

Call it a battle of dueling early Black Friday deals, only this time, Walmart edges out the competition. The retailer is taking $40 off the cost of TCL's 43-inch Class 4 Series 4K smart TV, bringing the cost down to $218. That very same model is currently on sale at Best Buy, though you'll pay $229 for the 43-inch TV set there. Regardless of where you buy the set, this TCL TV features excellent value and strong color fidelity. You also enjoy the Roku operating system, which is our favorite system for streaming everything from Netflix to HBO Max.

And we're officially live! The Walmart Deals for Days event part deux is now underway if you're a Walmart Plus member. (Remember, you gotta be a paying member to participate (i.e. you must forgo the free trial). So what are the deals I'm most pysched about? Here's my list of the top 5: 

• check out the entire Walmart Deals for Days event

LG C2 42" OLED 4K TV: $1,596 $896 @ Walmart
The excellent LG C2 OLED TV is now $100 cheaper than it was last week. We named this stunning television the best TV of 2022. It combines exceptional picture-quality with a slick design. It's also ideal for gamers with a 120Hz refresh rate and offers all easy access to all the streaming services you could need. All sizes are on sale, but the 42-inch model just got an additional price cut. Amazon offers the same price.

Apple Watch 8 (GPS/41mm): $399 $349 @ Walmart
The Apple Watch 8 sports a new skin temperature sensor to monitor sleep tracking and cycle tracking. It also comes with new advanced safety features like Crash Detection, which can sense when you've been in a car crash. In our Apple Watch 8 review, we called it the best smartwatch hands down. It's now $50 off, which is the first major price cut we've seen for this watch.

Toy sale: deals from $6 @ Walmart
No Black Friday sale is complete without toy deals and Walmart is offering some of the best discounts this week. The retailer has Lego sets, Barbie figures, Hot Wheels tracks, and board games on sale from $6. For instance, you can get the Lego Disney Encanto Set on sale for $39 (pictured, $10 off).

Ninja Supra Kitchen System: $199 $99 @ Walmart
The Ninja Supra Kitchen System Blender can mix, blend, juice, and process all of your favorite foods. It has a high-volume 72-ounce blender capacity and also includes a 64-ounce round bowl that doubles as a food processor along with two 16-ounce blender cups with built-in blades for smoothies and shakes. A similar Ninja system costs $199, but this Walmart exclusive is just $99.

HP 15" Laptop: $349 @ Walmart
There are a lot of sub-$100 laptops out there today, but if you want something that has a little extra horsepower, this machine is what you're looking for. Unlike the budget models, it has a 15.6-inch 1080p LCD, Core i5-1135G7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. It's a solid machine that you could use as your main system.

• Onn 40" 1080p Roku TV: $159 $98 @ Walmart

Ok, I'm gonna be honest. I generally wouldn't recommend anyone buy a 1080p TV these days. 4K resolution is where it's at and these days 4K TVs are cheap enough that there's a 4K TV out there for every budget. However, I realize not everyone needs or cares for 4K. Maybe you're shopping for a bedroom TV or a TV for a child's room. In that case, this 1080p set for $98 should fit the bill. Onn is Walmart's in-house brand and this TV comes with the Roku operating system built-in (which happens to be our favorite platform for streaming). 

• Samsung Galaxy Tab A8: $199 $139 @ Walmart

Apple's iPads tend to get all the attention when it comes to tablets, but let's be honest — they're expensive. That's where the Galaxy Tab A8 comes into the picture. On sale for $139, the Android tablet has a 10.5-inch screen, Dolby Atmos sound, 5MP front camera, and 32GB of storage. It should fit the bill for most of your needs, especially now at its lower price. 

• JBL Link Music: $119 $49 @ Walmart

If you've never heard of the JBL Link Music speaker, don't worry. We rated it one of the best Google Home speakers you can buy. Besides being a smart speaker, it also allows you to wirelessly stream music via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth from your smartphone. Whether you want to listen to your favorite songs on Spotify, YouTube Music, or Apple Music, the JBL Link Music has you covered. You can score one at Walmart now for just $49, which is more than 50% off its regular price. 

• Apple AirPods Pro 2: $249 $229 @ Walmart

I love it when retailers offer these secret discounts. Right now, Walmart has the AirPods Pro on sale for $229, which is their cheapest price to date. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we gave these earbuds 4.5 out of 5 stars and an Editors' Choice award because of all of the new improvements. This includes 2x better noise cancelation, new volume controls in the stems, and longer battery life. Plus, you can use the iPhone's TrueDepth camera to create a personalized spatial audio to listen to some of the best Dolby Atmos sound in any pair of earbuds.

• Google Nest Mini: $49 $18 @ Walmart

It's a predictable deal, but nevertheless — this is still a great stocking stuffer. Right now Walmart is practically giving away the Google Nest Mini. At less than $20, it's one of the best deals on one of the best smart speakers we've seen yet. The Nest Mini is powered by Google Assistant, which makes it easy to control connected smart home devices, such as smart lights, locks, and more. Despite its size, the Nest Mini puts out pretty good audio for small spaces, and we like its low-profile design. This deal covers all four colors of the Nest Mini — so you're not limited in your choices.
