It's official — Walmart's Black Friday shopping event will kick off early on Monday, November 11 (in-store shopping begins November 15). The retailer recently released its much-anticipated Black Friday ad, and we are pleased to announce that the deals don't disappoint.

Both retailers are offering price protection through most of the holiday shopping season as well, so if you buy early and the same item drops to a lower price, you can retroactively get that better deal.

Walmart is cutting the price of its Walmart+ membership in half ahead of Black Friday — offering 50% off the annual fee. The Walmart+ service is a subscription that typically costs $98/year or $12.95/month. Walmart slashed the price before Black Friday sales to just $49 for a year.

Second, Walmart will be trying out a brand-new feature on a wider scale. During Black Friday, the company plans to expand beta testing of its AI-powered shopping assistant, a chatbot that goes beyond handling basic tasks like returns to actually guiding users through the shopping process.

Shop early Black Friday savings on everything from streaming devices to office must-haves with these under-$100 deals.

The biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday, is just a month away. Shoppers can expect to see hefty discounts across a range of major UK retailers, from fashion and beauty to tech and home appliances.
