Halloween has come and gone, which means one thing: Holiday shopping season is officially in full swing. With Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, retailers are getting a head start on the gift-giving months by announcing early Black Friday deals. To kick off the holiday shopping event, Walmart debuted its very own Black Friday deals campaign featuring some of the cast of Mean Girls.
“Get in sweetie, we’re going deals shopping,” Lacey Chabert’s Mean Girls character Gretchen says in the clip. Even though we’re still a few weeks away from Turkey Day, Walmart’s wasted no time on dropping a handful of early Black Friday deals on its site and in stores. The Walmart Black Friday event starts Nov. 8, and the retailer has revealed plenty of early Black Friday discounts on everything from the Apple Watch Series 9 to a Dyson V12 vacuum.
Here’s what you can expect for Walmart’s early Black Friday deals (plus a few current deals on gifts we have our eye on this year).
What Are the Best Walmart Black Friday Deals?
The good news: You don’t have to wait until the day after Thanksgiving to score deals and discounts on tech, toys, and kitchen products at Walmart right now. Bonus: Get a 30-day free trial and score 50% off a Walmart+ membership to score the early deals three hours before the event begins.
Note: Some of the Walmart deals below go live starting Nov. 8 so we recommend adding them to your cart before the event begins.
$50 off Apple Watch Series 9
Apple’s latest smartwatch — on sale for Black Friday starting Nov. 8 — features all the high-tech features you need to accurately track your health and workouts in real time. The Apple Watch Series 9 boasts fall and crash detection, a swim-friendly design, and even comes with up to three months of Apple Fitness+ to take your sweat sessions to the next level right from your wrist. Note: This deal goes live Nov. 8.
$60 off Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
Take a generous 24% off Apple’s noise-cancelling AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) ahead of Black Friday this year. One of our favorite earbuds for listening to music, the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) top our list for their stellar sound, sweat-resistant build, and 30-hour battery life with their charging case. Consider them the ultimate stocking stuffer.
$200 off Dyson V12 Cordless Vacuum
Vacuuming your house doesn’t have to suck. Dyson’s V12 cordless vacuum cleaner will be on sale for Black Friday at $200 off retail price. That means you’re getting the powerful vac for as little as $449 as part of the holiday sales event. Note: This deal goes live Nov. 8.
$1,700+ off Samsung 65-inch OLED 4K Smart TV
Black Friday is always a good time to score big discounts on big TVs, and this year’s no different. You can save a whopping $1,700+ on this Samsung 65-inch OLED 4K Smart TV set ahead of the holidays — a 52% discount. It’s easily one of the best early Black Friday TV deals we’ve seen (so far), and we have a feeling it won’t last for long. What you’ll get: a big screen with over a billion different shades of rich colors, a slim design, and a built-in gaming hub.
25% off 23andMe Ancestry Service DNA Testing Kit
If your family hasn’t tried 23andMe yet, now’s a great time to score a DNA testing kit for a 25% discount. It’s a solid gift for everyone on your list who wants to get a deeper look at your family history, and you can compare your results with everyone well after the holidays are over.

Don’t worry, there’s plenty of Black Friday deals on gaming gear to take advantage of this year, too. Save an extra $70 on this Xbox Series bundle ahead of Black Friday. It’s a good gift for the gamer in your life and sure to be on everyone’s list this year. It’s a Walmart bestseller — and a deal that we predict won’t last for long.
