We shopping editors treat Black Friday like the Super Bowl of deals — and yes, we are going for a touchdown. Hunting for sales gives us the same thrill as getting that field goal. So we've been in our element the past few days, working from dusk til dawn finding the best deals and steals worth your money. One of our favorite places to shop: Walmart's Black Friday sale. You can find our top picks here in a range of categories (home, tech, fashion and more), but we couldn't help snagging a few goodies for ourselves, too. C'mon, we're only human.
So, with an eye towards holiday gatherings and gift-giving, here are some of the marvelous markdowns from big brands (Beats, Crocs, Beautiful by Drew Barrymore) we made off with. But don't forget — these deals are only while supplies last, so now's the time to add to your cart.
Another helpful tip: If you're not signed up for Walmart+ yet, now's the time to do it. Through December 2, you can purchase a one-year membership for only $49 — that's 50% off — and score early access to Walmart's upcoming Cyber Monday sale (plus tons of other perks).
"If I'm going to have a pair of backyard Crocs, they might as well be glam. I plan to make this glittery pair my throw-and-gos for feeling fancy while playing with the dog and pretending to be a movie star while gardening. (Or pretending to garden.)"

It's your lucky day. The Ninja Creami is one of the most viral kitchen products of the year, but it's included in Walmart's Black Friday deals! This gadget can turn any frozen solid bases into ice creams, sorbets, milkshakes and more.
"I've been in the market for a new pair of noise-canceling headphones and I can't get over how pretty this gray and gold Beats pair is. And now that they are just $159, I think it's time to take the plunge! Not only do they have 22 hours of battery life, but the cushioned ear cuffs look incredibly comfortable."

"If you suffer from migraines, the Renpho eye massager is a game-changer. It massages your eyes and applies heat to help relieve pressure and pain. It always goes on sale during Black Friday, but $69 is an incredible early discount (it's 65% off!)."

Take your pick of nine lovely colors including this awesomely named Green Smoothie. Available in sizes from XS to 3XL.
"It's that time of the year...when I sit down on an Adirondack chair and hear the crack, crack, crackle of dried leaves under my butt. Yes, I need a leaf blower! This brand is a Yahoo reader favorite and right now it's on sale for half off."

"Trust me — as a self-proclaimed movie buff and streaming fanatic, a soundbar is the one product I recommend to everyone I know. It's really one of the best investments you can make for your home entertainment setup. To put it plainly, TV speakers are pretty underwhelming across the board. A soundbar helps you achieve that movie theater sound and clarity from your living room and this one will only set you back $30!"

"Do I technically need another nonstick pan? No. But is this one so pretty that it would be criminal not to buy it at this price? Absolutely, yes. I cook a lot, so I know this gorgeous black pan will get plenty of use in my kitchen. One shopper in the comments compared it to the popular Caraway pans that are way more expensive and, well, that convinced me to grab it."

"As someone who has poor circulation and perennially cold feet, I plan to stock up on these cozy wool-blend socks while they're marked down to just over $2 a pop. They're made with wool, cotton and polyester which means they're soft and warm with enough moisture-wicking power to keep your feet dry. And I love that you get a variety of colors in each pack, so I can mix and match with the rest of my winter wardrobe."
— Rebecca Carhart, Style Editor
"We just spent an obscene amount of money building a new deck, so you better believe I'm eyeing all the end-of-season deals on patio furniture and accessories. I've always loved Adirondack chairs, but I'm over the maintenance required for anything made of real wood. So these high-density polyethylene chairs are just the ticket — they're practically maintenance-free, they're lighter, they're foldable, they're stackable ... what's not to love? The hardest part will be choosing a color."
