Lordy yes that was a fiasco, even in Arkansas where Walmart is based! I do hope they have another one. I got a much better deal on a Vizio LED that year than on BF.

I may be in the minority here but I don't mind the early opening times. My family eats Thanksgiving dinner straight up 12 noon. We've done that for years because that lets the "boys" in the family eat and then hit the road for the deer woods. The only "BF store" in the small town where I spend Thanksgiving is Walmart. My mom and I build our shopping around the Walmart ad so it's really a win-win situation. We are never after the doorbusters at Target, Kohls or BestBuy since they are an hour drive. If we choose to hit those stores we go later in the day to browse and are not looking for anything specific. We get in and we get out. Last year we went to the 10 PM and stayed for the midnight and were checked out by 12:15. At home in bed by 12:30 AM. So far, looks like I will be fast asleep on BF morning having gotten all I need/want at the 8PM Walmart Event.

Well, for the first time in many years I don't need any electronic items so I'm leaning towards housewares and the usual socks and underwear packs. I am especially interested in checking out the $4.88 Beautyrest pillows but if they are anywhere near those blamed towels I will run in the opposite direction and hope there are some leftovers I can find later. Not interested in getting a black eye. Unless WM has a surprise up their sleeve it looks like I can do all my shopping at the 8 pm sale and be done, which is actually a good thing. Last year I needed things from 2 of the start times and I didn't particularly like hanging out in the store for 2 hours waiting for the next start time.

Looks like the Nuvi 50 On a side note, I don't think this unit has Lifetime Maps update. It is well worth the extra cost to get one with this feature because map updates cost as much or usually more than the unit itself. If you arent interested in map updates then this is a great deal IMO. My sister has the Nuvi 40 and we have used it all over the US and love it. She will be getting an upgrade to a LM model (lifetime maps) this Christmas.
