Shamonica38663 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 What time will you guys be arriving at walmart? And for what item(s)?
abentley Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 That is a tough one as I only really want a couple of MP3 players and a microwave. I was hoping to show up at 4:55!!!
ehstrojette Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 usually about 3. I shop around for things I can price match from other stores, find things on the floor on sale that arent on pallets then line up for my items this year it is the DS lite for my son and my mom is doing my clothing items. She keeps the cart and I am going to use a cloth shopping bag to put my items in to be able to get out of there faster. You all know the traffic jam of shopping cars in electronics right...
nikkilugi Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I am going to use a cloth shopping bag to put my items in to be able to get out of there faster. You all know the traffic jam of shopping cars in electronics right...Good idea. I think I might do that this year!
KBsDarling Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 careful with the bag ideas....no one wants to spend BF explaining you werent concealing un-purchased merchandise...I know in some larger towns backpacks and even diaper bags are no-nos in stores.
conj Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 its on the way home from shopping... so not till 9 am or so...
Jen8112 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I'm going for the DS lite also. I'm heading to Wa-Mart after TRU so probably around 2am.
sweetdiggity Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I always get there right before the sale starts. Like 5 or so minutes. I am going to check out the cheap Wii games, DVDs, hoodies, jeans, and some other small things like games. Nothing too major, but yeah, the electronics dept. is nuts. Last year I had to ditch my cart by the auto dept. just so I could walk and look at the dvds. Then I went and got my cart again. lol
Kim3498 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Do you think the DS Lite will be popular this year, even though the DSI is out? I'm debating what time to get there.
ydkjman Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Does any one know if Wal-mart will let you do a price adjustment on the DS Lites if you were to buy them now and then take them back in on Friday during the sale and return them and re buy them to get the $98 price ?
Jen8112 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I believe the DS lites that are on sale BF have different model or SKU numbers. The reason I think this is one of the DS lites is the black (onyx) one that was discontinued back in Feb, also the pink one could be the original pink one and not the (new) metallic pink one (I have the original pink one). Just a little heads up!
JasonAnna09 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 careful with the bag ideas....no one wants to spend BF explaining you werent concealing un-purchased merchandise...I know in some larger towns backpacks and even diaper bags are no-nos in stores.Working in Asset Protection for Wm, I can honestly say, "I hate those bags!". Lol! They are great for the environment but have made my job ten times tougher than it already is. The real theives love those bags, lol. Id probably be following her around if she was loading up a cloth bag on BF at my store, lol! But whatever works for ya:) Gotta laugh though, it is good for your heart...
marshmallowpuff Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I'm hoping that the GPS units will be a part of the online sale. If they are....then I will probably show up at WM at nearly 5. If they aren't...then probably an hour or two before opening at the most. I'm not big on waiting in line to save money...
bpr Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I got Walmart's BF ad in the paper today (Sunday). I know we have it online, but I'm suprised it's out so early.
ydkjman Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Well this is actually what they look like http://ydkjman.com/dslite1.jpg Edited November 23, 2009 by ydkjman

I'm not big on waiting in line to save money...The BF ad is now on Walmart.com and if you click on the items in the ad, they tell you if they're available online, in-store, or both. The GPS units are both online and in-store. :) You can also print your BF maps for your local store. lol
ehstrojette Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Thanks for the picture of the pallet of ds lites. now at least i know i dont have to stand IN electronics. The bag I am just gonna use to get the electronics i need in that area then transfer the stuff into my cart. I just dont want to drop anything while i am being pushed and shoved. If a CM or another worker is right there I will let them know. My walmart removed all ds lites out of the case so you couldnt buy it and price adjust.
Jen8112 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Well this is actually what they look like http://ydkjman.com/dslite1.jpgHmm...they look dark blue in the pic, are they black? Looks like they might all be the discontinued ones: Crimson Red, Onyx Black, Polar White and Coral Pink. Which is fine with me, I've been looking for the Black one everywhere!
RaineeDay1 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 i will get there at 3am.. same as every year.. when i would go to BB i would go around midnight but BB sales have not been good so why freeze
Kim3498 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Does any one know if Wal-mart will let you do a price adjustment on the DS Lites if you were to buy them now and then take them back in on Friday during the sale and return them and re buy them to get the $98 price ? I called my local Walmart, and they said it will have a different sku number....so no, you can't do it. That is what I had planned too.
davephillyj Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 FYI, our Walmart said they will not allow any bring back for price advustments since the blitz items are totally different from the regular stocked items. They said the regular stock items they pay more for and the blitz they got a special deal on, so they would not allow folks to "try to beat the rush" by buing early and getting PA that day Just thought I'd let you know. YMMV Also I read I think on Targets ad they will not have the return center even open so no exchanges there. It may have been K-mart, not sure. It was in the circular.
ydkjman Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Hmm...they look dark blue in the pic, are they black? Looks like they might all be the discontinued ones: Crimson Red, Onyx Black, Polar White and Coral Pink. Which is fine with me, I've been looking for the Black one everywhere! They are blue. And just so everyone knows they are actually the same UPC's that are on the shelf as of Saturday.
Jen8112 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 They are blue. And just so everyone knows they are actually the same UPC's that are on the shelf as of Saturday.CR*P! WTF! They are defiantly black in the ad! Great, now what am I going to do?!
angelic680 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Does anyone know how they are going to run the sale on the Xbox games????? Is it just a free for all?
MassMomx5 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Probably around 3am. The only big deal I want is the $30 Radio Flyer big wheel...but I want 3, 2 at the least, so hopefully dh and I can get them (I have 3 boys ages 5,6 and 7!)
Shamonica38663 Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 What do you guys do while you wait?
MassMomx5 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 What do you guys do while you wait?I'm chatty so I usually make friends with everyone around me and spend the time gabbing
mrstoots Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Since my Walmart is opening at 4:00 I'll probably get there about 3:00 or so, after a Dunkin Donuts run, of course! Disappointed to see the map only lined out where the electronics would be and not more specifically the toys. Last year while in line an employee handed out maps highlighting every item that was on sale and where you could find it. It made it so much easier for me to find the toys they had on sale. But I have a feeling I already know where I can find them--probably where the toys were last year, right in the middle of the aisle. I noticed too that the electronics on sale at my Walmart are going to be located right in the most obvious place--in the electronics department! I'll be staying away from that area! lol!
elena_398 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I want to look at the $7 DS games. Wonder how they are going to do this one. Is it going to be a free for all? Hope not.
Kim3498 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Have you all looked at your map for your store? It doesn't show where the DS is going to be. I hope they don't just put those out there and let people go at it.
