I found a few good deals on kitchen items, like a KitchenAid stand mixer (kitchen and dining writer Emma Wartzman says Black Friday is often the best time to buy one), as well as some Ninja blenders.

Walmart has some great early Black Friday laptop deals. We've picked out our favorites including many popular brands and some key buying advice too.

Because Walmart likes to release its most jaw-dropping TV deals as a handful of pre-meditated doorbusters, more shoppers will be waiting in the wings for the clock to strike a certain time (rather than calmly perusing several pages of TV deals) — which means TVs selling out is more likely and time is of the essence.
