Walmart’s early Black Friday sale began Nov. 12 and runs through Nov. 15 online and in stores, NBC Select reported. The event is open to all shoppers, with selected discounts on products ranging from headphones and kitchen appliances to power stations and pet supplies.
- The sale is open to all Walmart shoppers; Walmart+ members also receive a separate set of membership perks.
- NBC Select highlighted Beats Solo 4 headphones at $69, while WIRED listed the same model at $69 and described features it lacks.
- The outlets’ other selections include an EcoFlow power station, an Apple AirTag, a Christmas tree and a countertop ice maker.
Which deals the outlets selected
NBC Select’s picks span several categories: a Best Choice Products pre-lit Christmas tree at $119.99, a Simzlife countertop ice maker at $159.99 and La Roche-Posay moisturizer at $17.23. It listed Beats Solo 4 headphones at $69, against a displayed reference price of $199.95, and reported a 4.5-star average from more than 33,600 Walmart customer ratings.
NBC Select said it aimed to include products discounted by at least 20% and rated at least 4.0 stars by hundreds of Walmart customers, using price trackers when possible. It also cautioned that not every item was discounted as described in its sale overview. Its list was set to be updated during the event.
WIRED’s gift-focused selection included the EcoFlow River 2 Pro power station for $329, down from $549. The outlet described it as a 768-watt-hour unit weighing 17 pounds. It also listed an Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) for $23, compared with $29, noting its compatibility with Apple’s Find My app, replaceable battery and built-in speaker.
Other WIRED picks included a 408-piece Workpro household tool kit for $130, compared with $288, and a Petkit PuraMax 2 automatic litter box for $381, compared with $450. WIRED described the kit as containing common non-power tools for basic home projects, and said the litter box could suit most one- or two-cat households if the cats are not oversized.
Both outlets listed Beats Solo 4 headphones at $69. WIRED noted that the headphones do not have noise cancellation or automatic pausing and are not dust- or water-resistant. NBC Select also featured a Shark Glossi 2-in-1 styling tool at $108, down from $179.99; its wet- and dry-hair modes were described by the brand. A Beautiful by Drew Barrymore 6-quart programmable slow cooker was listed at $48.82, against $64.38, with its five preset settings and countdown timer likewise attributed to the brand.
What the sale means for shoppers
Shoppers can browse the event without a Walmart+ membership. NBC Select said members receive exclusive access to a separate set of perks, including free and fast delivery, streaming subscriptions and discounted gas. The listed product prices are snapshots from the outlets’ coverage: availability and individual prices may change during the sale, and both outlets said they would update their selections as the shopping period continues.
