Halloween and Election Day may be behind us, but Thanksgiving (and a little holiday called Black Friday) are coming in hot. Walmart's Black Friday sale officially kicked off this week with early deals that'll get you ready for a) hosting season b) gift giving and c) everything in between.
For starters, there's a Shark Navigator upright vac for less than half price ($97, down from $199). Then, get a soul-restoring, rib-sticking feast started with this Hamilton Beach slow cooker for just $35 (was $53). While that's bubbling away, make the most of that early sundown and nip in the air with an hour spent out on the patio gazing into this mesmerizing propane fire pit ($250 off at just $150). Post-dinner, kick back with your new 55-inch Samsung TV, its QLED picture looking almost as brilliant as you for scoring a $1,000 markdown, or play a game of Sorry (it's down to just $5!).
And, if you've been on the fence about Walmart+, now's the time to sign up. Through, December 2, you can purchase a one-year membership for only $49 — that's 50% off!

With Sorry!, players have no option but to turn on each other to try to win the game. You'll chase your opponents around the board while trying to get your pawns to the finish line. Cards tell you to move forward and back and can even send you back to the start, making for an exciting evening. The price is a winner, too — just $10.

This cleanser and makeup remover is beloved by a legion of fans, including celebs like Drew Barrymore.
