Why You Can Trust CNET The best kitchen deals at Walmart's Black Friday-esque holiday preview sale
It's never too early for deals.
For the deals-minded among us, Black Friday may feel like it's miles away. It's not, but just in case you're getting antsy, Walmart is coming through with a Holiday Early Access Sales Event starting today with a slew of major deals to help knock out some of that holiday shopping while there are still leaves on the trees.
The limited sales event includes some of our favorite kitchen gadgets and appliances like the universally beloved KitchenAid stand mixer, an on-trend air fryer for healthier "fried" snacks and even a cotton candy machine to win over the kids (or adults who act like kids) in your life.
And just in case you're shopping for the true No. 1 on your list (you), Walmart offers free two-day shipping on orders over $35 -- applicable to most items on this list.
