Retail giant Walmart has jump-started the holiday shopping season with an early Black Friday promotion that begins at midnight on November 12. The four-day window (Nov 12-15) offers genuine price reductions across a wide range of categories, from high-end entertainment equipment to everyday kitchen appliances. Members of Walmart+ enjoy an additional hour of early access, a perk for anyone hoping to beat the crowds on items that tend to sell out within minutes.
When Walmart rolls out its early Black Friday offers
The retailer’s strategy mirrors the broader industry trend of spreading discounts across several events rather than concentrating everything on the traditional Black Friday weekend (Nov 27). After the first wave, a second round of promotions is slated for Nov 23-29, followed by a Cyber Monday sprint beginning at 12:01 a.m. ET on Nov 30 and lasting through Dec 2. Shoppers can therefore plan purchases in stages, securing the best-priced items early while keeping an eye on later drops for more niche tech or gaming gear.
Top tech savings you can lock in right now
Among the most compelling reductions are those on large-screen OLED televisions. LG’s 65-inch C6 model, part of the C-Series, is listed for $1,399.99—a $1,300 markdown from its usual $2,699.99 price tag. The panel delivers near-zero blooming, vivid colour reproduction and a rapid 0.1 ms response time, making it suitable for both cinematic binge-watching and high-frame-rate gaming. Four HDMI 2.1 ports and a 165 Hz refresh rate ensure future-proof compatibility with the latest consoles and PC rigs.
For competitive gamers, the Samsung Odyssey G55C 27-inch curved monitor is now $179, down $70 from $249. It pairs a 1440p (QHD) resolution with a tight 1000R curvature, delivering a pixel density that rivals many 4K panels without taxing the GPU. A 165 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time and AMD FreeSync integration eradicate screen tearing, offering a buttery-smooth experience for fast-paced titles.
Apple enthusiasts can take advantage of a price cut on the 14-inch MacBook Pro equipped with the M5 Pro chip. The laptop retails for $2,069.10, saving $129.90 off the standard $2,199 price. It boasts industry-leading battery endurance, a tactile haptic keypad and a generous assortment of ports, making it the go-to machine for creators, developers and even casual gamers. While the listed price comes from a vetted third-party seller on Walmart’s platform, shoppers seeking a base-model 16 GB configuration may find a slightly lower price on competing sites such as Amazon.
Home appliances and everyday gadgets on sale
The early Black Friday roster also includes a Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum, marked at $440—a figure that undercuts typical retail pricing by well over $150. Dyson’s laser-detect technology maps dust particles in real time, and the unit’s powerful suction makes it a top pick for households with pets or allergen concerns.
Kitchen aficionados can snag a Ninja Professional Plus Duo blender for $99, down $30 from its regular $129 price. The 72-ounce pitcher handles soups, smoothies and frozen cocktails with ease, and a detachable single-serve cup adds portability for on-the-go nutrition. The brand’s reputation for durable, high-performance appliances makes this bundle a solid holiday prep purchase.
Additional early-season savings span a range of accessories: Samsung’s 43-inch Crystal UHD TV drops to $198, TCL’s 55-inch QLED Roku TV is available for $298, and a selection of gaming accessories—including an Xbox wireless controller for $49.99 and a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle for $511.88—are also discounted. These offers provide a convenient one-stop shop for gift-giving and personal upgrades before the main Black Friday surge.
