From TVs, to electronic devices that you carry around with you, to hidden items scattered
throughout the store, join us as we show you some of the biggest recent deals that Wal-Mart
has ever made!
13.
Google Home Mini To be honest, if you can get any significant
electronic device for under $30, you're doing pretty well for yourself, and that's what
Wal-Mart was offering back in 2017 during their Black Friday deals.
They were offering a Google Home Mini for only $29 (plus tax obviously but we all knew
that was coming...).
For those who don't know what the Google Home Mini is, it's one of my personal home assistants
that you can talk to and get answers from without having to type or anything like that.
All you have to do is ask it a question or say Google "blah blah blah" and you're on
your way to getting things done.
The Google Home Mini was actually one of the most popular sales on Black Friday of that
year, with many stores offering their own take on the deal.
And regardless of which one you got, if you got it for under $30 like Wal-Mart did, you
did well.
12.
PlayStation 4 Slim Video games are one of the most popular forms
of entertainment right now, and many developers and publishers of video games try to release
big games before Black Friday so that they can get even bigger sales via bundles and
such when the big shopping event comes.
Back in 2016, Sony was still the top dog in the video games department, and at Wal-Mart
they had a big sale in regards to a PlayStation 4 Slim that included the best-selling title
Uncharted 4 with it.
For those who don't know, the Uncharted series is one of the biggest fan-favorite video game
franchises around, and the fourth one was the last of the "main" series.
And it was the biggest-selling game on the PS4 ever.
So to get that and a PS4 Slim (with a 500 GB memory) for only $250, AND a $30 gift card?
Oh yeah, that's a big sale you can be proud of getting.
And you know many gamers got it, not the least of which is because there are over 100 million
PS4s in homes right now, and it's because of deals like this.
11.
65" Sharp 4K Roku Smart TV One of the reasons people love Black Friday
(despite all the tension and chaos) is that you can almost always count on things that
aren't on sale most of the year to be on sale now.
And last year, Wal-Mart had a big sale on the 65" Sharp 4K Roku Smart TV.
This is one of the best TV brands out there right now, and people were stunned that Wal-Mart
was selling it for only $398 (again, plus tax).
In fact, some articles were actually written about this sale and how low it was compared
to other sales of this model earlier in the year.
Mainly, in July 2018, this TV was on sale, but for a much higher price.
Comparing that one to the Black Friday deal, it was a different of $182!
That's a massive jump in terms of sales.
And it's no wonder people were stunned to see it that low, and I would bet it sold quickly
because people knew it wouldn't be like that the following days.
10.
Samsung Galaxy S6 on Straight Talk Wireless + Straight Talk Wireless
If I may speak honestly, very few things annoy me more than phone commercials.
Each of them say that they're the best phone around, or that they have the best phone plan
around, the best phone deals around, blah blah blah.
But, yet, we need phones, and so people like Wal-Mart go and make deals that people more
than likely can't refuse.
Such as offering a Samsung Galaxy S6 on Straight Talk Wireless + Straight Talk Wireless on
Black Friday.
Specifically, they were offering that with a $55/30 Day Unlimited Talk, Text and Data
Plan Card for $249.
For a phone plan, that's actually not bad, and back in 2016, the Samsung Galaxy was one
of the best brands around, so the data plan sale was actually one a lot of people would
chose to get because it was a great deal.
Of course, phone plans usually start off as a great deal, and then don't stay that way...so...yeah.
But hey, for one day, it was a good sale!
9.
Sony PlayStation 4 Gran Turismo Sport VR Bundle And...back to video games we go!
This time though, we're going to dabble into the world of Virtual Reality.
VR has been a rather tricky thing to not only bring to life, but to also get the common
man to invest in it.
It's not exactly cheap, and just as important, it's really not for everyone because you have
to put the headset on your literal head and move around as you experience the game.
Still, the PlayStation VR is one that made the most of the technology available to it,
and in 2017, Wal-Mart was offering if for $299 for a time that included Grann Turismo
Sport.
So you'd get the system and a game for under $300.
That's not too bad.
While the PS VR hasn't sold as much as the PlayStation 4, it has sold millions, and sales
like this are a big reason for that.
8.
Samsung Chromebook 3 In our age of technology, have a good laptop
is crucial for many.
Whether it's students, businessmen and women who are on the go all the time, or even people
at home who don't want a dedicated PC, a laptop is important.
So for Wal-Mart to offer the Samsung Chromebook 3 for only $99 last year?
Yeah, that was pretty big.
Especially since the last major deal on this particular device was $140, and that was on
Amazon.
Granted, the Samsung Chromebook 3 isn't the best Laptop out there, but it's one that is
known for being very reliable, so for people who saw the sale, they probably viewed it
as an opportunity to have a device to get work done on without having to pay an arm
and a leg.
7.
FitBit Models Who doesn't want to get in better shape than
they are in now?
I mean, most of us could use a little help getting back into better shape, and the Fitbit
line of products is meant to help the common person get around, stay active, and see how
much progress they are making.
So it's no surprise that over the years Wal-Mart has been making sales on these to help get
them into people's hands.
in fact, they've been doing it on a bunch of models, including the Fitbit Charge 2,
the Alta, and more!
They've had many models under $100, including as recently as 2017.
And they'll likely do another sale on them in 2019 just to make sure that people keep
looking for them.
It really is a great product, and that's why Wal-Mart keeps making deals on them.
6.
Xbox One S Told you video games were a big thing.
Over on the Microsoft side of "the wall", they Xbox One line of products is actually
one of the more expansive of the set.
There's the original, the S, the X, and now even a digital-only version of the console.
Back in 2017 though, during Black Friday naturally, they were offering the system for only $190,
which was WAY less than the original was going for (nearly $100 more).
Unlike other bundles on this list in regards to video games, no games came with the console,
but, the sale itself was more than worth the price of admission.
5.
Beats Wireless Earphones Headphones may not be something that you think
about at first when it comes to technological needs, but when you want to listen to music,
or a movie, or something else without having to disturb anyone else, you go to headphones.
But, as times have shown us, smaller and portable is better, but sometimes they sacrifice quality.
Except, for Beats Wireless Earphones.
The Beats by Dre line is known for quality, and to get them for a cheap price is a boon.
Which is exactly what Wal-Mart offered back in 2018 when they offered this specific earphones
line for only $75!
For the record, the cheapest anyone had ever seen this earphone at was $90 before, and
that's still lower than the base price, so this sale was certainly kind to others, wouldn't
you agree?
4.
iPhone 8, 8+, X It was only a matter of time before an Apple
product made it onto this list, and low and behold, in 2018, they were giving a very special
deal out in regards to offering an iPhone 8, 8+ or an X out, and upon activation, you
would get a $400 gift card!
Yeah, that's a sale that would likely many anyone do a double take for a whole host of
reasons.
And Wal-Mart clearly felt that people would not only love this, but jump at the chance
for it to be theirs because they made it so that you had to have an appointment just to
have a chance to get it.
3.
Legend of Zelda Edition Nintendo 2DS Thought we were done with video games?
Please!
The sales for these are eternal, and expected to be honest.
Nintendo has done many handheld systems over the year, but with the Nintendo 3DS line they
went to try and please every type of user they could.
So they made the 2DS for younger kids so that they wouldn't have to worry about adjusting
the screen.
The reason this sale stands out was that this was a special edition 3DS.
One that had a Legend of Zelda theme in style AND in the game that it had pre-installed
in it.
So for a price of $80?
Yeah, that's a really good deal.
2.
Arlo Camera 3-Pack If you want to make sure that your home is
secure, the best way to do so is having cameras watching it.
But, sometimes you want a good sale before you purchase such things.
Which is why the 2017 deal of an Arlo Camera 3-Pack was so special.
Because you'd get three cameras for a price of only $200.
For the record, that's literally 50% off of the original price.
Anytime you get 50% off of anything, you should consider getting it.
Sure, there have been concerns about battery life with the cameras, but the picture and
signal quality far outweigh the cons of this device.
1.
Apple iPad Also back in 2017, Wal-Mart decided to offer
a special deal on Apple's newest iPad, it was only about $80 dollars in terms of discount,
but for an iPad, any deal is a good deal.
The iPad is a functional computer, gaming system, music player, all while being super
thin and easy to carry around.
So it's no wonder Wal-Mart tried to get people to buy it by docking a few dollars off it.
And there you have it.
Some big sales that Wal-Mart has done over the years.
Which ones were the most surprised about?
Which ones do you wish you could've gotten had you known or had the money?
Did you actually get some of these when they went on sale?
