Thanksgiving (and Black Friday) is two weeks away, and Walmart (see the Black Friday ad) is already serving up some early deals.
Early Thursday morning, the retailer unveiled its Black Friday deals in addition to a handful of early doorbusters on TVs, laptops, and more. These deals are available Nov. 8.
Walmart’s in-store Black Friday sale starts at 6 p.m. Thanksgiving at most stores, except where prohibited by law, which is the same time as last year’s sale. New this year, Walmart will hold its first-ever “Light Up Black Friday” party for customers from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. featuring free coffee and cookies.
“There really is no bigger or better day of the year than Black Friday,” said Steve Bratspies, Walmart’s chief merchandising officer, in a statement. “That’s why we are pulling out all the stops to make it a great night for our customers.”
What you need to know for Black Friday at Walmart
Select deals will be available online starting at 10 p.m. Nov. 21.
The sale includes big discounts on televisions, laptops, toys, clothes and more.
Dozens of sale items are considered “special buys,” which the ad describes as items carried at a special low price for a limited time. Because we don't know how deep the discounts will be on these items, we recommend researching them now to get an idea of the usual price. This will make it easier to know at a glance if a Special Buy is actually worth it on the big day.

Most of these products are not currently available on Walmart's website, or they're only available through third-party sellers right now. While you can purchase things from Walmart's network third-party sellers, it's important to do your due diligence first. Make sure they're not inflating the price by comparing it with the list price from other retailers, and read seller reviews for things like shipping issues, inaccurate listings, and other red flags.
