Black Friday is just a few weeks away, and retailers everywhere are already whetting our appetites for shopping, with great deals on tools to get everyone shopping early. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift or filling in gaps in your own toolkit,

Black Friday may technically just be one day, but it’s evolved to consume the entire month of November in the US at this point. For the past few years, retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Target have ushered in the holiday shopping season earlier and earlier,

This year, Black Friday 2024 runs from 29 November through to Cyber Monday on 2 December, but some brands have already started their sales or begun offering early access discounts

Walmart has several waves of Black Friday deals coming up, the first of which begins on Nov. 11, followed by two others happening Nov. 25 and Dec. 1. You can get three hours of early access to each of those deal waves through its website and through the Walmart app — but only by being a Walmart Plus member.
