It’s difficult to find a boring Black Friday sale, but some are always more exciting than most of the holiday sales events out there. There are always three sales in particular that people go nuts over: Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. Amazon already kicked off its Black Friday deals as did Best Buy, and now Walmart has officially announced its plans for Black Friday 2017. As expected, Walmart’s Black Friday 2017 sale will be one of the biggest of the year.
Walmart’s online Black Friday sale will kick off at 12:01 AM EST on Thanksgiving morning, November 23rd. Hundreds of deals will be made available at that time, and they’ll run all the way through the end of the weekend. Black Friday deals will also of course be available at Walmart’s brick and mortar stores beginning at 6:00 PM local time on Thanksgiving Day, and while supplies last through Black Friday and the weekend.
As for what you can expect to see from Walmart as far as deals go, the retailer gave us an extensive taste in a press release issues Thursday morning.
