At Just $5, I’m Buying Everyone a Pair of These Pokémon Slippers

It’s no secret that Black Friday brings big savings on all kinds of goods, from top tech to appliances. But not everything you buy for Black Friday has to be a big ticket item. In fact, you can spend just $5 and get one of the best gifts of the season: these Pokémon slippers from Walmart. While stock is fluctuating on Pikachu and Charmander, we’re still seeing plenty of slippers with my favorite turtle-esque Pokémon, Squirtle, as well as the hilariously adorable Bulbasaur. Just don’t wait because this deal could be gone before you can say Go.

Featuring a plush lining and cushioned insole, these cozy terry slippers are only available in men’s sizes 7 to 13. Unfortunately, for those who wear smaller sizes (a men’s 7 is equivalent to women’s size 9) they will probably be too big. Still, at $5 they can make a great stocking stuffer for someone in your life.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

With four styles to choose from — Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Squirtle and Charmander — we’re seeing Squirtle and Bulbasaur with the most in-stock variety. Walmart sale items can fluctuate quite a bit, so if you see the slippers you want in the size you want available, don’t wait.

Why this deal matters

If you’re looking for a fun but practical gift you really can’t go wrong with slippers. Combine that with Pokémon and make it $5 and I can’t really figure out why not to buy these (other than sizing). It’s a low-risk, low-spend gift that is a whole lot of fun.
