‘Tis the season for great deals, and the Beast from Bentonville is no different. Walmart is kicking off Black Friday deals this week, with Walmart Plus members getting priority access at 12PM EST, followed by everyone else at 7PM EST. This sale includes everything from apparel to movies to tech gear, toys, and car tires! While non-members will be able to get these deals later today, some of the best deals will move very quickly – it might be worth jumping on a membership today. They’re available yearly at $98, or for a monthly fee of $12.95. In other words, it’s cheaper than Amazon Prime for many of the same great discounts, free shipping with no minimums on products and groceries, a complementary Paramount+ subscription, and fuel savings.

I’ve sifted through over 500 discounts to find the very best ones and collected them here – check out the deals below!

Home theater

Onn. 40-inch Roku Smart HDTV

• Normal price: Unknown

• Current lowest price: $98

• Discount: Unknown

A 40-inch Roku TV for less than $100 is all you really need to know about this deal. Is it an amazing TV? Almost certainly not! Will it do whatever you need it to for the cost of a used TV on Craigslist? Yes. And it won’t last long at this price, so get it while the gettin’ is good.

• Normal price: Unknown

• Current lowest price: $49

• Discount: Unknown

Walmart didn’t publish the normal price for this RCA 480p projector and 100-inch screen combo, so we don’t know what the discount is – other examples around the internet appear to be roughly at this price, however. So this one may not be a deal so much as a (very) cheap way to get a great big screen for movies at home.

LG 55-inch 4K TV

• Normal price: Unknown

• Current lowest price: $298

• Discount: Unknown

Like the other home theater products in this sale, Walmart has chosen not to list the original price, which may indicate this isn’t necessarily a discount, just a good deal on a TV. This 55-inch LG 4K smart TV for under $300 won’t last long, so if you’re looking for something cheap and big, this is it.

Apple

Apple Watch Series 8

• Normal price:  $399

• Current lowest price: $349

• Discount: $50 off (save 13%)

The Apple Watch Series 8 is seeing its first real discounts, and starting at 12PM EST today, Walmart Plus members will get early access to this $50 discount. Mostly an incremental update over the Series 7, this watch does bring a couple of big updates to the Watch lineup, most notably a built-in temperature sensor and car crash detection. We would expect this deal to sell out quickly. Jump on this one before it’s gone.

Home tech

Eufy RoboVac G32 smart mapping robot vacuum

• Normal price: $299

• Current lowest price: $119

• Discount: $170 off (save 60%)

Eufy, the smart home tech company owned by Anker, makes some of the best affordable robot vacuums on the market, and right now you can pick up the Eufy RoboVac G32 for just $119. That’s a great price for a robot with the kind of features on this one – room mapping, voice or app control, even the ability to switch its suction power based on the type of floor it’s working on. This is an updated version of the G30, which I own and was impressed with when I reviewed it for Gizmodo.

Computers and tablets

HP 14-inch touchscreen Chromebook

• Normal price: $299

• Current lowest price: $179

• Discount: $120 off (save 40%)

It’s time for a cheap Chromebook that doesn’t suck! This HP Chromebook features a 14-inch touchscreen, 64GB eMMC storage, and a snappy Intel Celeron processor. This would make a great gift for a loved one or a nice laptop for school-aged kids. It’ll also probably sell out fast, so take advantage while you still can!

Samsung Galaxy Tab A8

• Normal price: $199

• Current lowest price: $139

• Discount: $60 off (save 30%)

Behold, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, on sale for just $139 ahead of Black Friday. If you’ve already perused our Samsung Galaxy sale page but you didn’t quite see what you wanted, might we tempt you with this 32GB 10.5-inch tablet that packs Dolby Atmos sound for a beautiful handheld streaming experience?

HP 15.6-inch Intel Core i3 laptop

• Normal price: $599

• Current lowest price: $249

• Discount: $350 off (save 58%)

You won’t see this sale price last long. Normally listed at $599, this 15-inch HP laptop is already on sale at HP’s website for $399, but Walmart is blowing that sale price away, first for Walmart Plus members and then (if it hasn’t sold out yet) to everyone else. For just $249, you can pick up this Intel Core i3-powered Windows 11 laptop, with 8GB RAM, a fast 256GB SSD and hours of battery life for a full 58% off in this limited time early Black Friday sale.

Kitchen

• Current lowest price: $99

• Discount: $100 off (save 50%)

Aw yeah, it’s air fryer time! Pick up this Ninja Foodi air fryer for just $99 at Walmart in this early Black Friday deal! Like others in this sale, this won’t last long, so if you’ve been looking to dip your toe in the sublime waters of the air fryer world, your chance is now. A crispy foot is no good for anyone.

Wearable tech
