Walmart’s Black Friday sale is officially underway with its Deals For Days drop

Retailers are already gearing up for Black Friday, and Walmart is leading the charge with its first official Black Friday Deals for Days event, which is officially underway right now. You can save big on more than 1,500 items, whether you’re shopping for yourself or getting a head start on your gifting list.

Think major discounts across categories, including tech, toys and tons of home goods. If you prefer to shop in-store, you can get going Nov. 5 at 5 a.m. local time.

But there’s more coming up too: The second Black Friday Deals for Days event starts Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. EST online and Nov. 12 at 5 a.m. local time in stores. You’ll find deals on even more items for holiday entertaining, gifting and more.

If you’re a member of Walmart+, you’ll also get early access to online Black Friday deals so you can scoop up your bargains four hours before everyone else (you can sign up for free if you’re not a member).
