Which Deal Better: Target or Walmart


Recommended Posts

Posted
My daughter wants a Gameboy SP. I had planned to get it for $48.88 at Walmart, but then I see Target will have them for $68.88 (car adapter, case, and super mario advance 2) with it. Which is the better deal? She currently has a regular GameBoy Advance system, but obviously no accessories for the SP. She did say she wanted super mario games. Im not sure now where I should go! She would need a case for her Sp. Would you go for the Walmart one or Target one?

target...cuz trying to fight for the 48 dollar one will be a pain in itself...and if you bought all those other items that target has it would be way more than 68.88...target is better...especially if your daughter wants all that

Target has the better deal:

  • Target isn't as crazy/busy as Walmart is, so this makes it easier for you.
  • Game, case and car adapter for an extra $20 is a GOOD DEAL!
  • I've heard Super Mario Advance 2 is the BEST Mario game for the GBA.

I hate to have to pay the extra $20, but I am leaning towards Target. I had planned on buying a case for the SP on BF after (hopefully) getting a SP. Shoot, instead of waiting in a nice warm store, I will be stuck outside freezing in line! LOL.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the insight. Im not familiar with the whole BF thing as its my first time out. I've never heard how crazy Target gets so if it opens at 6am, I should be there by 3am? Guess you do a mad dash to electronics from there. I'll make sure I wear my tennis shoes. Haha

Our Target is crazy too but don't plan on heading to the electronics for items there. A lot of times they have them spread out over the store. Two years ago they had the stereo sets in women's clothing on a pallet. It's nuts...but so much fun..

Crap. I don't want to hear that! Do you think I should be there by 2am and sit in the car till people come? I hate to go to Target and not get one because I showed up too late or because I wasn't aggressive enough running to the electronics department (that is where you think they have them right?)

They just opened up a new Target less than a mile from me. Im thinking to go there. maybe people don't know its opened yet? Just opened 3 weeks ago.

Lol!!

 

Good luck!

 

That reminds me of last year when we went to the Thanksgiving day sale at Kmart. We were after the Sp. They opened the doors and my daughter was in front of me and people were actually running to electronics. She looked back at me and I hollered "RUN!!" LMAo! She ran track one year and plays soccer too.. Dang that girl can run. :D

 

She's gonna be my secret weapon this year. :tongue1:

Im trying to envision this. Is it really a mad dash throughout the stores? My god I don't think I ever thought I would have to run to get a present. Usually only two things gets me to run: Someone after me with a sharp object or my daughter is in trouble. So far I haven't had to run! LOL. This may get pretty funny.

the worse year at Target was when they gave out little matchbox cars to the first 250 people that had coupons on them or something, and lots of people cut line, fights broke out, etc. over little CARS!!!

 

Yikes!! And yet, I still go. This will be my 30th BF, since I started going with my mom when I was 15!

I guess I will have to dust off my Taebo tapes to get ready! LOL. My husband was reading my posts and he went upstairs laughing! he knows I don't run.

 

I hope I can buy 2 of these. Hubby said he wants to get one for his nephew

Be careful at Target the don't always put there sale items in the departments they should be in. About 2 years ago they had dvd players and they had them on a pallet in the womens clothing section. So just watch out. And forget the tennis shoes give me some skates!!!!!!!

I don't know if they would tell you where they would have them. I know last year I was at our walmart at about 4 am with about a million other people and the stupid store put all of the sale items together between 2 rows oh what fun. If they would learn to space them out just a little we would have more room to throw punches. LOL

LOL, Im envisioning the worst here! Your going to scare me thinking Im rumbling next week. I guess I go super early, freeze, then get warm by running around the store in a mad frenzy! If my daughter only knew what I did for her!

Last year we got in line at Target about an hour early and were number 3 and 4 in line. We wanted the portable DVD players. I bought one, and decided at 9 am that morning to get a second one if they still had any. Went back to Target, and yep, still half a pallet at 9 am!!! So, I waited in the 20 degree weather for nothing, but I wanted that DVD player!!

I remember when the game cubes were released. I was 9 months pregnant and they were trying to keep us i a single file line. They opened the doors and everybody started running. They had them all the way at the back in layaway (damn walmart). We got back there and the people were mad because there wasn't enough. I figured if i could beat them running 9 months pregnant I deserved one. :2roller:
