Want to start shopping now? Grab these deals at Walmart in between turkey and pie! (Walmart)
Thanksgiving is that wonderful time of year when you can eat with wild abandon and not feel judged — in fact, all that stuffing doesn't really count (at least, that's what we think). It's all part of the joy of the holiday — made even more joyful when you can take to the sofa post-dinner and start your Black Friday shopping. Yes, there are plenty of Black Friday deals happening on Thanksgiving, including these impressive markdowns from Walmart.
Our advice: Before making those turkey and cranberry sauce sandwiches, kick back online and see what deals are on offer before Black Friday. Once upon a time you had to wait until actual Black Friday — and contend with hoards of shoppers vying for the best deals, along with long lines at the checkout and in the parking lot. No more. Walmart's brick-and-mortar stores may be closed today, but Walmart's Black Friday deals are available online on Thanksgiving Day — and happening right now!

And after you've shopped for everyone on your list, you can rejoin them for pumpkin and pecan pie.

Hoops are a style staple, not least because they look beautiful dressed up or down. These C&C earrings take that look to the next level, with 18-karat white gold plating, tastefully crusted with dazzling Swarovski crystals.

Flannel season is here! This plaid button-front is a great addition to any fall wardrobe.

Plus, it comes in 14 different plaid shades — all for just $13 on sale.
"This flannel shirt is soft and lovely," said one fan. "It drapes nicely, perhaps because it is on the thin size. Compared with those I have from L.L. Bean and Lands' End, it is not as stiff, but it's also not cotton. That does not matter to me, as long as I find it comfortable, and I do. I actually bought two of these in different patterns, and both are very, very nice."
A MacBook Air for only $599? Someone pinch us. Another plus: The battery life is impeccable, with up to 18 hours of use on a single charge. And while there are newer models, this is speedy and sleek and it's got the goods you need at the lowest price we've seen.
