Here's a little Wal-Mart secret. The ad prices almost always say "Every Day Low Price" next to it. Very little of what is in the regular ad is a different price during the promotional period. However, there are special buys that aren't carried all the time. The "doorbuster" pricing that is available on BF starting at 5am will not be good until 5am, and the quantity will be limited. However, the majority of the rest of the ad should be available early, unless quantities become limited and they get pulled from the shelf early to ensure there are quantities available on BF.

Wal-Mart does not match % off or Buy one Get one. The primary reason is because wal-mart is already lower than most other stores. Often time 25% off at K-Mart is still more expensive than regular price at Wal-Mart. As a manager at Wal-Mart, I will call (given we aren't slamming busy) to find out what the price at K-Mart is. If 25% off would be cheaper I will match the K-mart price, but not give 25% off the Wal-Mart price. I hope that makes sense.
