19 Early Walmart Black Friday Deals

The first black Walmart The Friday deals are here, and we’ve found a few deals that rival last year’s Black Friday prices. If any of these products are on your shopping list, now is a great time to shop, especially if you can pair it with a Walmart coupon. This is just the beginning of our holiday plans. We’ve got a bigger guide to the best early Black Friday deals and the best Black Friday deals.

Deals included

Updated November 26: We’ve removed some expired deals and added a few new deals on a hair dryer, gaming headset, fitness tracker, security camera, keyboard, and stroller.

Technical Deals

This deal beats last year’s Black Friday price by $70. After being a top pick for months, the Acer Aspire 3 has now earned an honorable mention in our Cheap Laptops buying guide. It’s still a great value, with a large display and plenty of ports (including Ethernet, USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, and the elusive earphone jack). It also weighs less compared to laptops of the same size. This model has an Intel Core i5 chip, integrated graphics, 8 GB of RAM, and a 15.6-inch IPS display. We wish the speakers were louder and the display sharper, but when you’re on a tight budget, it’s hard to find extra cash. You can also upgrade to the new Acer Aspire 5 for beefier specs for $480 ($219 off), which beats last year’s holiday pricing and gets you a better display and more RAM.

The recently released Apple Watch Series 10 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best Apple Watch money can buy. Because of this deal, it’s less money than usual. The discount may not look stellar but this is the lowest price we’ve seen so far and it probably won’t drop much, if at all, during Black Friday. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have blood oxygen sensing like previous models, but it has a bunch of fitness tracking features, and it can help collect data on other health metrics like respiratory rate, exercise efficiency, and more.

Roku Black Friday deals are nothing new, but this is a bargain for the best Roku device and our favorite streaming stick overall. I recently switched from Amazon’s streaming ecosystem to a Roku device and I think it’s the best thing ever. There are many free channels to watch (including all How It’s Doneamerican version of Great British Baking Showand tons of goodies Antiques Roadshow episodes). The interface is easy to use and customizable, the remote control is fast, and plug-and-play setup couldn’t be easier.

This headset earned a rare 10/10 review from our reviewer, who said it was made with some kind of magic. That’s because it has 300 hours of battery life—and sometimes more in our tests. That’s about 10 times the average. Of course, the sound quality is great and so is the comfort and fit. But perhaps most enticingly, you won’t need to charge it. This deal comes in between the $20 best price we tracked and the $10 deal we saw on Black Friday last year. Read more and get more recommendations in our gaming headphone buying guide.

This deal was a little cheaper earlier in the week, but we still think it’s a solid discount, and most of the seven available colors are selling for this price or a little less right now. This powerful little speaker is a slightly older version of one of our favorites. It is water and dust resistant, and the built-in carabiner makes it easy to attach to a backpack or stroller. The small size also makes it suitable for children. The battery lasts about 10 hours per charge, and the sound quality is surprisingly full despite the small footprint of the speaker.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) unfortunately remains our favorite headphone out of the hundreds we’ve tested. At $298 this deal is the best deal we’ve seen from them, and last year’s Black Friday sale brought it down to $328. They have excellent sound quality, an excellent 30 hours of battery life, great noise cancellation, and a stunning design. A comfortable fit and intuitive onboard controls round out the listening experience.

This beats last year’s Black Friday discount by $500. The QN900C (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is undeniably expensive, but this is one of the best deals we’ve tracked down. It’s beautiful and detailed, with clear video quality, deep blacks, vibrant colors, and some of the smoothest motion processing you’ll ever see. It can handle up to 8K resolution, too.

This is the best gaming headset for most people. The wireless headset is very fast and has low latency, but you can choose to rock it with a cable with a 3.5-mm connection. Expect high-quality sound, clear microphone connections, and a comfortable fit. We already love affordable prices, but thanks to Black Friday, this item is easily available.

This small compact camera is one of the best indoor security cameras on the market. You can place it on a shelf or mount it on the wall, and there’s even a built-in privacy shutter for added peace of mind. Detailed 1080p footage is stored in the cloud, as long as you shell out $8 a month for an Arlo Secure subscription. Other features include a built-in siren, motion detection alerts, and two-way connectivity.

Few colors are on sale at this price. The Fitbit Inspire 3 is our favorite budget fitness tracker. If you’re looking for a simple, stylish model with basic power, this is a great and cheap option. It will track steps, sleep, and SpO2 levels, and will notify you when someone calls. It’s a good time to pick one up if you have health-related goals coming up this January.

The Razer Huntsman Mini is the best mini keyboard out there. The 60 percent design eliminates the numpad and arrow keys, making this a solid choice for gaming or very small spaces. We appreciate the fast, responsive keys, and if you want to change their look, the keyboard is compatible with Razer’s keycap kit.

Beating Black Friday prices by $20, this is a solid deal on Ninja Creami (6/10, MORE Reviews), as seen in our Best Viral TikTok Gadgets gift guide. If you’re interested in making sorbet, gelato, and sundaes at home, this small countertop appliance will get the job done. Few recipes are included although you can find oodles more online (or in the company’s $17 cookbook, which we firmly believe should be included for free). Ninja Creami takes some trial and error, but once you get the hang of it, you can whip up your creations so you have a fridge full of goodness every time. Just be prepared to give up some counter space.

I checked out a sold-out Green Day special for this Keurig, which I sent out as part of a promotion for the band’s Punk Bunny coffee line that includes bagged beans and K-cups. While I wouldn’t replace my Chemex with it, there’s a lot to be said for convenience. Fill the water tank once every few days, load the cup, and press one button. What sets this device apart from others in the Keurig line is the ability to make iced-ish coffee, which comes out noticeably colder than regular brew and will make iced coffee that’s over iced and sweetened. This blue version is highly discounted and would make a great gift for someone who doesn’t want to fuss over their coffee and wants more flavor options—especially mine I’m making hot cocoa for my daughter right now. – Martin Cizmar

This is the discount game we saw last Black Friday. This tilt-head model isn’t KitchenAid’s most powerful mixer, but it’ll still make baking holiday cookies a breeze and has more than enough power to knead dough, beat your egg whites, and make a nice-looking buttercream. Sold in a wide variety of fun colors.

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite Dyson vacuum for small spaces. This is one of the best prices we’ve seen for this svelte dust-sucker, which is lightweight, easy to control, and easy to use. There is one power button and many attachments are included for specific tasks such as stairs or cracks. This vacuum also has a neat neon-green laser that shines a light on any dust you may have missed while cleaning.

I have used many items from The Pioneer Woman cookware line and have always found the products to be beautiful, durable, and well made. This would make a great gift for a young adult who is just settling into their first place. The set includes four dinner plates, salad plates, and bowls. Everything is dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

We recommend this hair dryer as a solid budget choice. We love its affordable price tag, as well as its sleek, compact, and lightweight design. It comes with a concentrator nozzle, although you can buy separate diffuser attachments for less. If you just need a reliable hair dryer, this is a great option, especially at this price.

This offer is available to new, lapsed, monthly, and trial Walmart+ members. Walmart+ usually costs $98 a year, but it’s currently down to $49 for the first year. It renews automatically, so set a cancellation reminder if you don’t want to pay the full price. But Walmart+ members get early access to Black Friday deals and other special sales, free grocery delivery, free online shipping with minimum orders, and more. You can read more here.

This made our list of the best travel strollers as a top budget choice. It’s a little on the short side, but lightweight, TSA approved, and even comes with a holder. It doesn’t have car seat adapters, but for the price, it’s hard to find a travel stroller with more features. We love the padded seat and the fact that the belly bar doubles as a handle.
