Black Friday 2014: Walmart beating Best Buy and Target with better deals

Walmart is planning something huge to celebrate Black Friday with everyone, even if it means pushing their sale date one week early. Yes, Walmart is beating every retailer to the punch come Black Friday, and electronics and gadget lovers now know where to go. 

Walmart's sale started Friday, Nov. 21, at 8 a.m. and will last until Nov. 27 or until sale stocks last. The very focus of the sale will be electronics and toys, and the discounts will be so huge that it would be so hard to resist buying. 

Last Nov. 18, company executives announced that Walmart prepared for the Black Friday sale by buying more stocks. Further, they also said that they are matching the prices of online retailers like Amazon. So, how low will Walmart go? 

Some of the sale items revealed include a 58-inch Samsung Smart LED/LCD TV for $698 only, according to Consumer Reports. The 40-inch Samsung LED/LCD TV with Frozen Sing-Along Edition is only priced at $298. Those who want the iPad Air (16 GB) can get it for $489 and it comes with a $100 Walmart Gift Card. 

For consumers looking for an iPhone 5s or 6, it is bundled with a $75 Walmart Gift Card. Now, those willing to sign an agreement with AT&T, Sprint or Verizon can get the iPhone 5s for only $79 and the iPhone 6 for $179. These come with a two-year contract, but will have zero-money down for AT&T Next and Verizon Edge. 

Shoppers who can't make it on Nov. 21 and would rather shop on Thanksgiving instead, the sale will start at 6 p.m. The electronic sale will be at 8 p.m. with an additional sale item of a 60-inch Element TV for only $498. This is equal to $200 in savings. 

For the online deals, the 55-inch Samsung UHD TV is priced at only $1,298 and that's savings of $900 already. Best Buy also offers the same item for only $900, but given that it has limited stocks, it may not last. Thus, getting it in Walmart may be best. 

On top of these amazing deals, Walmart is also offering its one-hour guarantee for doorbuster specials. Customers who are in the store from 6 to 7 p.m. are guaranteed their item. Plus, they can get their item within the same day, too, if the stock is there. 

Black Friday Sale will be a crazy one. Holiday shoppers are advised to check around for the best deals to truly make shopping worth it.
