Sleepwear Sets. Typically, it's best to wait until the weeks following the holidays to purchase winter apparel. That's when you'll see the deepest discounts as retailers start to prepare for spring. However, plush pajamas for the entire family ranging in price from $4.75 to $10 are an example of why shoppers flock to Walmart on Black Friday, says smart-shopping expert Trae Bodge of TrueTrae.com.

Philips 65-Inch 4K Android Smart TV. Widescreen televisions are one of the most sought-after Black Friday doorbuster deals no matter the retailer.

The iRobot 670 WiFi Vacuum, which is compatible with Google Assistant, will be on sale for $197 (marked down from $244). You'll save nearly $50.

Neon Vector Two-Wheel Scooter (Non-Motorized). Scooters (non-motorized and motorized) continue to be a hot holiday gift item for kids, Bodge says. Walmart will be offering a $15 doorbuster deal on this non-motorized scooter, which has light-up wheels. With Black Friday doorbuster prices on two-wheel non-motorized scooters at Target and Kohl's ranging in price from $18 to $20, you'll save a few more bucks by snagging this deal at Walmart.
