With Black Friday a few days away, Walmart is bracing for the busiest shopping event of the year.

The retail giant kicked everything off last week with their pre-Black Friday event online, where you can purchase a Samsung 32-inch LED TV for $248 and Apple iPod Nano 16GB devices in various colors with a bonus accessory kit for $139, among other products.

The pre-Black Friday online savings ends today.

The retailer will begin their official Black Friday savings Thanksgiving night, including three savings events during the early morning rush on Friday.

Walmart's doors open at 8 p.m. Thursday with family specials around the store for the first event.

The savings really start at 10 p.m. with a one-hour sale for the second event, with deals on various gadgets and electronics. Bargain hunters will receive special deals that include the following: a 16GB Apple iPad 2 with WiFi for $399 plus a $75 Wal-Mart gift card, an Emerson 32-inch 720p LCD television for $148 and LG Blu-ray players for only $38. Customers will also be able to purchase a Nintendo Wii for only $89.

The last event starts at 5 a.m. on Black Friday with special deals on jewelry, clothes and more TVs.

Some of the deals for Cyber Monday deals include: an Xbox 360 Skylanders Family Fun Bundle for $159, a Double Power T-711 with WiFi 7-inch Tablet with Android 4.0 for $59 and the Little Tikes Kitchen for $50. There are two big TV deals with a Samsung 40-inch and 55-inch 1080p Class LED televisions respectively priced at $598 and $1,498.

The Black Friday Walmart walkout is still planned to take place by frustrated employees on the busiest shopping day of the year. Walmart has been accused by some employees for cutting hours, wages and benefits which led to a planned walkout that's expected to include around a 1,000 different protests at stores across the country over a nine-day period, according to The Nation.
