I shopped all online. I got 5 Kohls throw blankets, Amazon kids pro fire tablet, Mickey Mouse Big Blind Bag, 2 Rainbowcorns, Mickey Mouse figurines, PJ Mask figurines, Jlab earbuds, RC Jeep, Tineco mop/vacuum, Apple Airpods, Lenovo Chromebook, Acer Laptop, gaming chair and Firebuds HQ playset. I've still got a lot more to buy but this year the deals just wasn't that great.

Definitely underwhelmed. First time I have went without spending more than $200 at Walmart. Going to grab my kids the underwear and pajamas on sale and getting my son a gaming chair. That's about it.

If you do it online do you know how long it usually takes for the gift card to come? It says up to 20 days after being shipped but wanted to see if others got theirs sooner.

I was as well. I either was going to open new lines for my younger 2 to get gift cards or get them an iPhone through Straight Talk (figured they would have the iPhone 12 for $199) but I don't see anything. Maybe it will show on the 20th. If not then I am just going to go through Verizon and get them free iPhone 4 Pro Max's but still sucks about the gift cards.

I wasn't impressed either. No Straight Talk deals or gift card with purchase deals for Verizon like they normally have. Tablet deals weren't that great either. It seems like it was more clothes than anything.

Same thing I have been saying. I plan everything around Walmart every year since I get most of my things from there. Still no Target, Best Buy, or Bath and Body Works is crazy for black friday to be next week.

Walmart, Target, Sam's Club, and Amazon are definitely my every year ones. Bath and Body Works and Ulta is on my list this year since my daughter wants items from there.

I'm hoping Walmart has a better 2nd ad then this past one. I did snag my 13 year old some Apple Airpods and my mama the Tineco Cordless iFloor 2. I'm hoping Target releases their ad soon as well. Black Friday is less then 2 weeks away and it feels like I barely got any of my list planned out.

Craziest thing I have seen was back in 2016 or 2017 when Black Friday was on Thanksgiving. This rude lady kept going around to pallets and cutting the plastic and grabbing whatever she wanted. We were waiting on a 65 inch flat screen tv. She cut the plastic to it and my husband had pointed it out to the employee what she was trying to do. The employee just shrugged her shoulders and started laughing about it. The lady got into the plastic and went to pull at one of the tvs and 6 of them fell on her. She was bleeding from her head and threatening to sue Walmart. They had EMT come out and had to have police escort her to the ambulance. They ended up taking the pallet off the floor and said they couldn't sell them (thankfully they had another pallet of them out). The next year is when they started giving out the bracelets to purchase them and then you had to drive around to the back to have an employee load it into your vehicle. I always wondered if she ended up suing them since it seems their policies changed the next year on getting big tvs on BF.

I dislike the sales starting so early in the month. For our house we normally pay bills around the month of November so that checks are put up for Black Friday. It would give us 4 checks to use towards Christmas and we would do 99% shopping that way. Now with the deals starting at the end of October/beginning of November it throws us completely off. I might get a lot of hate for this but I miss Black Friday in stores on Thanksgiving. We have 4 kids and only have one person that can watch them (my mom). The only day she gets off is on Thanksgiving so she would watch the kids for us when we would leave until whatever time we got back Friday morning. We would eat our Thanksgiving meal around 1 p.m. then leave around 2 to head to the stores. She would have the kids help her put up her Christmas tree and drink hot cocoa while my husband and I shopped. Now I just grab whatever I can online. Definitely not like it used to be.

That is normally in the last sale (main one for Black Friday). I am wanting to open two new lines this year so going to wait for it. I am waiting on more of the Straight Talk phone deals as well (hoping for iPhone 12 for $199).

I wished they would go ahead and release both ads at once so we can go over our options. I'll probably shop online this year with Walmart than hit up Black Friday in store for extras. I hope the rest of the ad coming out on 11/6 has more stuff than clothes.

When is Walmart expected?

My older two just added mini refrigerators to their list.

Kohls throws. I get my kids, mom, and sister in law one every year for their gift baskets (stocking stuffer baskets for the kids). Also pj's, socks, and underwear for the kids.
