How To Win Walmart's Black Friday Sale, Because You Deserve A New (Discounted) TV

by Shannon Fiedler

Tis the season to save money, and with Black Friday right around the corner, it's key to know where you can save the most money and on which items. Whether you're in the market for state-of-the-art electronics, new housewares, or toys to wrap up under the tree, Walmart's Black Friday sale has you covered. Here's the low down on what the superstore is offering this year.

Walmart's Black Friday doorbusters are not for the faint of heart. The stores open at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, and it is expected that lines will form outside of the stores before then. But good news for those who anticipate being in the midst of a tryptophan stupor at that time, the sales will be available online all day on Thursday as well.

If you are feeling adventurous, though, and do want to head to the stores, make sure you take advantage of Walmart's the 1 Hour Guarantee Policy. Here's how it works: get in the 1 Hour Guarantee line before 7 p.m. on Thanksgiving, and you are guaranteed the Black Friday price, even if your item runs out of stock. You'll get a 1 Hour Guarantee voucher to present at checkout; then register your receipt online, and you'll be notified when the item ships to your store. And you are also guaranteed that your item will arrive before Christmas, so no stress there.

So now that you know the basics of how Walmart's Black Friday sale is going to work, you're probably curious about what items you can save the big bucks on. Here are some of the most compelling deals of the day to give you a jumpstart on creating your holiday shopping list.
