Walmart Canada’s biggest Black Friday ever starts online at 9 p.m. EST on November 9, 2022 and runs for three weeks, with new deals added every week. In-store deals start on November 10, 2022 (opening times vary at select store locations).

It’s also smart to keep an eye on RedFlagDeals and Bargain Moose for potential sales leaks!

Whether you’re using the Walmart.ca app (which we recommend, since it will have the most up-to-date info!) or the website from your laptop or desktop, you can create as many as 50 shopping lists once you sign up for an account. Label them clearly with “Toys for Avery” or “Tech Favourites” to keep organized.

Save a little time on the big day!
