The Walmart Black Friday sale has thousands of deals — these are the top 14 our editors are buying
Save big on Apple watches, Drew Barrymore cookware, winter essentials and more at Walmart's Black Friday sale.
Our team of commerce reporters doesn't just play expert shoppers on TV. We actually buy stuff — especially right now when the last gasp of Black Friday sales mean we can score deep discounts on everything from sneakers to Apple watches to kitchen essentials. With that in mind, we've been scouring the Walmart Black Friday sale for days and have rounded up all the best deals that even our team of shopping pros can't resist.
At the top of our wishlists? A rechargeable book light to save your eyesight (and your relationship!) for a low $8 and a 22-piece cookware set from Drew Barrymore's Beautiful line for $98 (that's over 50% off). Plus, one of our editors is "scooping" up the Ninja ice cream maker while it's on rare sale for $149. Sweet!
But don't forget — these Black Friday deals are only good until Dec. 1, so now's the time to add to your cart. With prices this good, we have a feeling some of these editor-faves may not stay in stock long!
Best Walmart Black Friday deals
Walmart Black Friday deals we're coveting right now
"At last year's Black Friday sale, I bought this lovely air fryer from Drew Barrymore's line and I haven't stopped talking about it since (more on that here). This year, I'm picking up this matching cookware set that comes with every pot, pan and cooking utensil you'll ever need — and then some. Bonus: There's a Drew-shaped Scrub Mommy sponge. How cute!"
— Rory Halperin, Senior Commerce Editor
"When I lived in Costa Rica we had cows, and there was one young bull I named 'Big Tex' who I referred to as my emotional support torro (bull). I could sit on the ground and he would lay down and put his head in my lap. It's been over a year since I left Costa Rica and my cute bull friend, but these comfy slippers are a fun reminder of my years with the bulls and a nice way to relax at the end of the day."
— Laura Williams, Senior Health Writer
"I have white marble mosaic tile in my bathroom and kitchen — and while it looks effortlessly chic, it actually requires a ton of effort to keep it clean. I've been using a grout brush for the last year, but this cordless scrubber will get rid of any dirt, crumbs and grime without any elbow grease. I especially love that it has an adjustable handle, so I don't even have to bend over to get the job done."
— Amanda Garrity, Gifting Editor
"I wear socks all day, every day when I'm at home, so I'm always adding to my collection. This Joyspun set looks super cozy and I really like the color options. Bonus: they have no-skid grippers on the bottom, so I won't need to wear them with slippers on my hardwood floors."
— Jeanine Edwards, Shopping Director
"I'm crazy about ice cream, but I'm also lactose intolerant. I dream about being able to whip up dairy-free ice cream that's delicious and decadent enough to be Oprah-approved."
— Janelle Randazza, Commerce Editor
"I am the queen of taking three sips of my coffee or tea and then walking away from my cup for an hour. Luckily, that's NBD with this self-heating smart mug from Ember that will keep my drink piping hot for as long as I need it."
— Julia Webb, Shopping Manager
"If you suffer from migraines, the Renpho eye massager is a game-changer. It massages your eyes and applies heat to help relieve pressure and pain. It always goes on sale during Black Friday, but $69 is an incredible early discount (it's 65% off!)."
— Kate Ellsworth, Commerce Editor
"I've been wanting an outdoor pizza oven for the longest time. My tastes lean toward Neapolitan, which requires crazy high heat to achieve that blistered, puffy rim on a thin pizza crust. This oven reaches temps of up to 900°F — which may seem extra, but it's essential for making an authentic Neapolitan pie. This propane-powered oven comes with a rotating cordierite pizza stone, which is reported to conduct heat beautifully and evenly — plus the rotating feature means that I won't have to manually turn my pizza. While a large part of me likes that feature because it means I can pay more attention to drinking my wine, it's also incredibly practical for making a more evenly baked pie."
— Janelle Randazza, Commerce Editor
"My mom love Skechers so I'll be picking her up a pair of these for the holidays while they're down to just $40. She's a fan of the slip-on, no laces style. I may just grab a pair for myself, too."
— Rory Halperin, Senior Commerce Editor
"My husband and I are participating in a reading challenge, and we've upped our visits to the library by a ton! We swear by these little book lights because they let us devour our favorite books well into the night without disturbing each other. They're also handy when you're traveling — plus they're just $8, so they make a great stocking stuffer for the person who already has it all. I'm thinking of getting them for my mom and dad, both avid readers."
— Jessica Dodell-Feder, Senior Home & Garden Editor
"I've been a loyal Fitbit fan for years, but my most recent one just broke and I think the time is now to upgrade to an Apple watch. That way, I can not only count my steps and monitor my sleep, but also listen to music, take a call, check emails and so much more right from my wrist. I'm all about this latest version since it has a bigger display and is extra thin (I hate wearing something bulky). Now, the only question is — which color band should I get?"
— Rory Halperin, Senior Commerce Editor
"Now over $70 off, this multitasking tool from Shark serves as a hair dryer, styling brush (there are two attachments for achieving different looks) and a curling iron in one — you just attach the FlexStyle style to wrap, curl and set automatically. I love that it's compact for storing and traveling, and it's designed for all hair types. Important bonus: it regulates temperature consistently to help avoid heat damage."
— Kristin Granero, Senior Commerce Writer
"I own some kitchen items by this brand, and this set puts the 'fun' in 'functional.' It's so cute! I especially love the butter dish and I know the spoon rest would help spare my counter from saucy messes while making dinner. It's an incredible price point for such a large set — it ould make a lovely gift if you're not tempted to keep it for yourself."
— Britt Ross, Senior Deals Writer
"It's not for me, but after researching, I decided to get this Razor scooter for my niece — it comes in this pretty pink and a bright green, too. It's lightweight for transporting and has rear foot brakes for added safety. It goes up to 10 mph, which is fast enough to give her an adrenaline rush but not as fast as some of the other models I've seen (Walmart has a current sale on helmets, a necessity). I also have my eye on Lego's Harry Potter Castle and Forbidden Forest for some of the younger kids in my family."
