Walmart "will match the price of any local competitor's printed ad for an identical product" on BF.

done typing up the doorbusters. once i'm done typing up the full ad, i'll add something to the doorbusters to denote which are 12a-1p and which are 5a-1p

I remember last year MANY of the TRU ad items (including doorbusters) were available online the day before. And I want to be the first to say "does anyone else think this ad sucks?"

I'd say there is a very good chance...

You won't find too many deals on Cyber Monday that the sites won't have the entire month between now and Christmas. It seems that the sites put all their efforts towards their online BF sales and CM is more of an afterthought. They want you to spend on BF (or before), not wait until CM when you've already bought a lot of stuff in stores on BF.

I'll look into adding a FB link after the BF craziness dies down.

Nope.

You have to wonder if WM's ad is going to have a similarly priced 32" model....................

we should be good now, at least through the weekend. this was kind of a "perfect storm" of big stories all happening at once, something that's never happened before.

There are already many threads on this topic in the main BF forum. Closing...

yahoo front page story + best buy ad leaked = servers go kaboom

This is just a link to the same article from CNN that was posted Wednesday. Nothing too exciting, lol

The ad says free shipping on all of the featured electronics in the ad.

Last year someone on the forum here sent me the ad on 11/13. If you remember, CNN posted a story with highlights from the ad on 11/14. And for the record, we're not going to allow any kind of "Santa's Wish List" on here. Once it's leaked, I'll let my Walmart reps know and hopefully like last year once they see they can't contain it from spreading all over the net, we'll be allowed to post the full ad.

We've had the details of tomorrow's sale for a few days now. Nothing to get excited about. Their normal online-only sale they have every minor holiday it seems like. Minor deals for the most part like "10-15% off select keyboards and mice" - things like that.

Here are the scans: http://www.blackfridayvip.com/scans/GottaDeal-Bealls.pdf Since these stores are only in Florida and have a limited audience, we're not going to type up the ad (at least not right now), but I figured there might be a few of you out there who'd like to see it. And Bealls sent this one directly :)

got a postcard in the mail about the sale. also says it's off MSRP

LINK TO SALE (link will become active tomorrow morning) Dell is having a special 8-hour sale tomorrow (Friday) from 8am to 4pm ET. No word on what exactly will be on sale, so we'll all find out soon enough...

and just like that, the target logo is removed from the MSN site (although the story is still listed on the front page) and things on the site speed up a little, lol.

We added one more server this morning. Have another one coming soon. It's that MSN story that is killing us. It's on the front page of MSN with the big Target bullseye logo, so your eyes go right to it, and you know how many millions of people never bother to change their default Internet Explorer homepage from MSN, so a lot of people are seeing it now. Not that I'm complaining Traffic yesterday was about 4x what it was on Tuesday.

And if someone is buying this, be sure to add something (such as K-Cups) to get your after-coupon, pre-tax, pre-shipping surcharge total above $100 so you get $20 in Kohl's Cash instead of just $10.
