Walmart’s Early Black Friday Sale Ends Sunday: 20 Deals to Grab Before Event 1 Wraps
As of Friday, every hot-deal drop is open to all shoppers, not just Walmart+ members. Here are the markdowns we’d shop first, sorted by room.
Walmart’s first round of Black Friday pricing opened Thursday, Nov. 12, and it’s already halfway through. The four-day event wraps on Sunday, Nov. 15. Walmart+ members got the first shot at the limited “hot deal” drops, but those opened to everyone at 12:01 a.m. ET on Friday, Nov. 13. That means anyone can now shop the full lineup online or in stores.
We pulled together 20 standouts across the kitchen, home, tech, beauty, backyard and gift categories, plus a short list of Amazon stocking stuffers. Each card tells you whether the deal is online only or also in stores. A few of these have already sold through once, so check out sooner rather than later if something catches your eye.
For the Kitchen
Countertop upgrades and cooking basics, just in time for holiday hosting.
OFF
Gourmia 6-Quart Manual Slow Cooker
Here’s the cheapest way into slow cooking this season. This no-frills 6-quart crock runs on a simple dial with low, high and warm settings. It’s big enough for a pot of chili that feeds the whole crew on game day.
OFF
Ninja Crispi 4-Quart Glass Air Fryer
Instead of the usual nonstick basket, the Crispi cooks in glass containers that move from fryer to table to fridge. It’s dishwasher safe and handles air frying plus reheating leftovers so they come back crispy. It comes in blue, red and white.
OFF
Simzlife Countertop Nugget Ice Maker
Fans of crunchy, chewable “pebble” ice will want this one. It can turn out as much as 44 pounds a day and runs its own cleaning cycle with the push of a button. It’s down to less than half of what it usually costs.
Target has it for $172.49

Beautiful 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker
If you’d rather set a timer than babysit a dial, this is the programmable pick. It’s finished in a soft Thyme Green that looks good left out on the counter and is backed by thousands of strong Walmart reviews.

Decor, cleaning and cozy upgrades for the busiest season of the year.
OFF
Tineco iFloor 5 Stretch Wet-Dry Vacuum & Mop
The standout deal of the whole event. This cordless machine sucks up crumbs and mops sticky spots at the same time, folds flat to get under couches and beds, and cleans its own brush when it docks. You save $350.

There are no lights to string this year. This slim artificial tree comes with 300 LEDs already placed across 1,350 branch tips, plus a remote to change the lighting mode. The narrow shape fits smaller rooms.

OFF
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+M Triple Repair Cream
A big 13.52-ounce pump of rich body cream for dry, rough winter skin. It’s a small markdown, but Walmart is beating Amazon ($21.99) and Ulta ($23.99).
OFF

Smart ways to shop the rest of Event 1
Sort by what can’t be found in stores first. Online-only deals like the NULAS kitchen sets, the heated throw, the fire pit table and the dump cart tend to run out fastest. If you’d rather pick something up in person, use the Walmart app to check your local store’s stock before you drive over. Sold-out items like the LEGO Santa sometimes come back during the event, so it’s worth checking back once or twice. Finally, Walmart has more Black Friday events planned closer to Thanksgiving, but there’s no promise these exact prices will return.
