Have you ever wanted to be in on a really big secret? Well, I was and now I get to share it with my readers!

I was among a select group of bloggers who, for the very first time, got to preview Walmart’s super secret Black Friday hottest deals!

Not only did we get to see all of the great deals, but we also found some great tips about how to help our readers maximize their shopping experience!

What time does Walmart’s Black Friday Sale start?

The Walmart Black Friday APP

This exclusive Walmart App is going to be just what you need for Black Friday (and any time you are in Walmart!) I love when you are looking for a specific item, you are able to find exactly where it is in the store on your smartphone.

Top Picks in Entertainment – you guessed it, picked more than one!

Walmart is your gaming destination! They have great and exclusive deals on the big 3 – Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation (Spiderman bundle $199). But my kids are all about the Nintendo Switch ($299)! You can play it on the big screen at home and then take it on the go! This is going to be a top gift this holiday season.

Video games under a Christmas Tree

Google Home Hub – $99 – This Smart device is like having your own personal assistant at your beck and call, but what makes it different than other devices is the addition of the screen for visual answers!

Ask Google to show you how to do something, and it will bring up a video. When you are not using it, turn on scrolling photos and it becomes a digital picture frame. See who is at your front door or turn down the thermostat.

Best of all, it still does all of your favorite things, like plays music, turns on your other smart devices and more.

But wait, there’s more to this color story! You will notice some of the Walmart associates also wearing specific colors. These are the area experts!

Got a question about a TV, find the associate wearing the Purple color vest. Need to find the perfect toy for your 5-year-old niece, look for the associate wearing Green vest. No more guessing where to go. Just follow the colors!
