Walmart drops huge deals for Black Friday: $89 AirPods, HP laptop discounts and more
It's off to the savings races at the mega retailer this week — score $110 off an iPad Mini, a Shark vacuum for under $100, board games for $5 and more.
Halloween and Election Day may be behind us, but Thanksgiving (and a little holiday called Black Friday) are coming in hot. Walmart's Black Friday sale officially kicked off this week with early deals that'll get you ready for a) hosting season b) gift giving and c) everything in between.
For starters, there's a Shark Navigator upright vac for less than half price ($97, down from $199). Then, get a soul-restoring, rib-sticking feast started with this Hamilton Beach slow cooker for just $35 (was $53). While that's bubbling away, make the most of that early sundown and nip in the air with an hour spent out on the patio gazing into this mesmerizing propane fire pit ($250 off at just $150). Post-dinner, kick back with your new 55-inch Samsung TV, its QLED picture looking almost as brilliant as you for scoring a $1,000 markdown, or play a game of Sorry (it's down to just $5!).
And, if you've been on the fence about Walmart+, now's the time to sign up. Through, December 2, you can purchase a one-year membership for only $49 — that's 50% off!
