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.

New kids Amazon tablet for my 6 year old. My almost 8 and 11 year olds is getting whatever sales Walmart has on their iPhones through Straight Talk (hoping for the iPhone 12 for $199). Gaming chair for my almost 11 year old. My 13 year old wants Airpods and a bunch of different gift cards to her favorite places (Ulta, Bath and Body Works, Amazon, etc). My husband and I are looking to go back to Verizon so probably will snag the new phone deals through Walmart that comes with the gift cards. Other than that some toys for my 6 and almost 8 year old.

I can't wait! As soon as October got here I felt the excitement for Black "Friday" lol. I've got to get used to Black Friday being the month of November now lol.

iPad from Best Buy (through Verizon network) for $209. Walmart I got: Pioneer Woman pot and pan set Mickey Mouse blind bag Snackin Grogu Tangled doll/dress up LOL Doll set Samsung A03 Straight Talk phone for my son Purse Pets toy 12 inch bicycle for my youngest son Swingset (it's been on sale but I ordered it today so including it) 32 inch Acer Gaming Monitor Amazon I got: 32 inch tv for my daughter's room (I missed the 40 inch) Little People Farm playset Little Live Pet Mama Surprise (Amazon early sale with coupon) Target I got: Xbox Series S Kohl's I got: 4 throw blankets (my kids get a new one every year) Little Live Pets toy I normally do way more but this year I was thrown off with all the early sales. I grabbed what I could. Going to finish up in December. I got about 50% shopping done so far.

My 40 inch tv I ordered yesterday for pickup cancelled. I figured it would so no big deal. According to what Walmart's Facebook is saying they will be releasing details of the 3rd sale soon. I thought the sale in store would be on the 23rd but they said in store it would start on 11/25.

I got the 40 inch tv for $98 (hopefully it doesn't get cancelled since it's for local pickup for tomorrow). I also got the Pioneer Woman pot and pan set for my mama. It's another item thats for pickup tomorrow so fingers crossed it doesn't get cancelled either. Also a Rapunzel doll set, Galactic Snackin Grogu toy, and Mickey Mouse blind bag. Hoping they go ahead and show us the sale items for Monday.

I was on Walmart's Facebook page and someone had asked about the 2nd event. They wanted to know how to find out what deals would be available on the 14th. Walmart replied and said to check the night before after 7 p.m. If that is accurate then they will release the details of what's in the ad on Sunday after 7 p.m. Don't know how true it is but it came from Walmart's Facebook page.

The representative said they couldn't release any details but it could be the morning of. I don't know if that was a hint or not lol.

I chatted with Walmart to find out if they plan on releasing the details of the sale for 11/14 before that date. I told them that I didn't want to sign up for Walmart Plus until I knew for sure that they were going to have items that I wanted. They said that they weren't giving out any details (I figured as much) but it could show the morning of 11/14. It's so frustrating that they are waiting for the last minute on these sales. With the economy the way it is right now people are having to plan and budget. I figured Walmart would be on top of that this year.

YES! I have been stalking all the sites looking for some kind of hint on what is going on lol. I would think that Walmart would have dropped details about the 2nd event but nothing yet. The only thing mentioning the sales for 10/14 is for them wanting me to to buy the monthly membership. I'm waiting for there to be items I need before I actually purchase the plan. Add on that Sam's Club has no prices in their ad. The only big ticket item I have purchased so far is my daughter's iPad for $250 off at Best Buy last week (Verizon postpaid). So frustrating!

I'm really hoping its a mistake that there are no prices shown. I don't know why they would be prices may vary in Hawaii if they weren't planning on actually adding prices to it. There are a couple things I am needing but looks like it won't be from here.
