Wipe the turkey grease from your sleepy eyes, because it’s Black Friday. And as of this very moment, the best Walmart Black Friday deals are live. Actually, these Walmart deals went live on Thanksgiving Eve (probably in an effort to get a jump on Amazon), and we’ve already seen some popular items go out of stock. But as the sun rises on Black Friday, there are still plenty of deals left to shop, and your GQ Recommends team is just getting started. So gather round, Black Friday early birds. It’s time to get shopping.
You might remember when Walmart used to be the unstoppable retail juggernaut that made salt-of-the-earth mom-and-pop shops quake in their sensible boots. Now, they’re the only retailer left standing between Amazon and total e-commerce domination. If you’re a card-carrying Prime believer, you might be wondering why you should care about these “rollbacks” at all, especially since Amazon has plenty of its own that come with two-day shipping. Well, Walmart’s desire to take swings at the king works in your favor. Some of Walmart’s best Black Friday deals are beating Amazon on prices for men’s grooming basics, kitchen appliances, tech gadgets, and popular gift ideas.
For Black Friday 2023, Walmart has also sweetened its answer to Amazon Prime: you can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Walmart+ to get free shipping, a free Paramount+ subscription, free delivery on groceries, savings on gas, and exclusive deals that regular shoppers don’t see. Down below we’ve put the best Walmart Black Friday deals into one place. The era of the doorbuster may be winding down, but Walmart is busting through the Black Friday noise with some steep discounts. We’re talking Beats noise-cancelling headphones for under $100, Shark vacuums for more than 50% off, and luxe appliances like dual-zone wine coolers. Oh, and if you’re the giving type who’s actually using these sales to get your holiday gift shopping done early (showoff), we’ve included deals on popular gifts for men, women, moms, and dads. Hopefully, you’ll find some gifts to add to your own holiday wishlist along the way.
