Walmart’s Black Friday sale officially kicks off on Nov. 14 this year, which is only around two weeks away. However, the tech and home retailer has already started rolling out some early bargains. With a little digging, you can score some sweet deals on everything from speakers and laptops to apparel and home decor. CNET is here to help you make the most of these early offers, and our shopping experts are rounding up some top picks every single day.
For today, Oct. 30, those include the first-ever discount on the JBL Flip 7 speaker, a convenient Anker power bank that’s on sale for less than $30 and a 4.5-quart KitchenAid Deluxe stand mixer that’s $120 off.
Though it’s only $20 off, this is the all-time lowest price we’ve seen for this portable JBL speaker. The Flip 7 is one of CNET’s top Bluetooth speakers of 2025, and it impressed our reviewer with its rugged design, powerful bass and interchangeable accessories. It’s got a fully waterproof IP67 weather-resistance rating, and is even designed to survive drops of up to 3 feet. It uses AI to optimize sound and boost the bass and has an impressive 16-hour battery life. You can also swap out the wrist strap for a carabiner for different carrying options.
Note: Walmart’s listing for this speaker has two seller options with two prices, one from JBL and one from a third party with a 4.3 star rating on the site.
With a 20,000mAh capacity, this portable Anker power bank has enough juice to recharge your phone up to three times. Plus, it has a 30W output so it supports fast charging and can handle larger devices like tablets. It has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, and even comes with a USB-C charging cable that doubles as a wrist strap. It’s also equipped with a built-in display so you can easily check the remaining charge.

It’s officially baking season, which makes it the perfect time to upgrade to this top-shelf stand mixer — especially while it’s on sale. It’s got 10 speed settings for serious versatility, and the 4.5-quart mixing bowl can handle enough dough for up to eight dozen cookies in a single batch. The tilt-head design makes it easy to add ingredients without removing the bowl, and it boasts 59 points of contact while mixing so you’re not left with any big clumps. It comes with a whip, dough hook and flat beater, but there are more than 10 other attachments available for even more possibilities.
