hmeshow Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I typically shop at Wal Mart on BF but don't get there until about 3am. This yr my Husband and I would like to get the laptops. I was thinking that we would be there for midnight (for a 5am opening) ... does anyone think this is a good time or should we make it earlier? Thanks! *already stressed about BF shopping!

jdrd90 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I bought the $198 laptop last year and I was in line by 12:30. I was 2nd in line, if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFees Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I will field this one from my experiences last year @ WalMart. It mainly depends where you live. If you live in a big city with a large population then you may need to line up @ midnight or even sooner than that, but if you live in a small town, a rural town, or just some place nobody has ever heard of, then perhaps lining up @ midnight should be fine. Oh and one other thing to keep in mind: The cheaper the laptop the sooner you should consider lining up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 What do you think about the 6am Saturday Tv's? I want the Vizio w/ $40 Walmart Giftcard. Do you think I actually have to go around midnight for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messymommy Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Be sure to watch Walmart's online specials for the laptops. You might get a better one for your money that way and you won't have to wait all night for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eileenrich Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I would hope that they really do have a large assortment of items......we usually get their by 3am. Not sure I can get my husband out of the house sooner than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conleybunch Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 This will be my first trip to Walmart in 5 years on BF. I can't pass up the 12:01am deals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollingrock411 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Went last year for the $198 lap top,got there at 3am and the last ticket for that lap top was handed out at 2:30 and there was about 40 people in line. We ended up settling for the HP which still had about 15 tickets left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjncmj Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 People in my town started arriving at 9pm for the laptop last year. All tickets were gone by midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I actually have to go around midnight for that?I'm wondering the same thing.. And the bigger question,how many will they have because I was pretty disappointed with the Saturday sale,my WM only had a handful of each of the TVs on sale,no where near enough for all the people that were there in line. I like the deal though and seems quite a few other people do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy4bama Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 OK so can someone answer me this... if I get there at 12:00 to get a TV do I have to wait until 5:00am to pay for it or can you go and pay immediately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLLet us know how that works out for you. I would think the arrival time would be earlier if the ad was stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymacfla Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 This will be my first trip to Walmart in 5 years on BF. I can't pass up the 12:01am deals! Part of my crew will be able to skip over there, and be back for ticket time at BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
