Angelique Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Do I have to buy the 8pm item before 10pm and then get in line again to buy the 10pm? Or if I have it in my cart I am good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiRich Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 If it's like last year, once the "appointed time" hit, you were good. The ad reads that they are good while supply lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbeck96 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I am wondering the same thing. I am trying to set it up so that DH can go with me also. I may take my boys with me too so they can stay in line for the Nabi 2 and I can try to get some of the DVDs and games.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHolidays Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Our walmart will not let you put items in your buggy early. Heck, they had ppl walking around to make sure no skids were open early...Undercover employees. Lol. If items are both ticket items, probably out of luck. By time you got your 8p item all the 10p tickets will be gone. I think im going to have this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I am hoping the my husband and boys can go. I need the Nabi 2 (which I am sure is going to be a ticketed item). That is an 8:00 item. I am also wanting 2 smartphones (Straightalk). I am hoping that those are not ticketed items. I am going to call my local walmart to see if the smartphones are going to be ticketed items. If they are, I may see if I can recruit my BIL if my sister doesn't need him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgmules660 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I have never shopped at Walmart on BF, what do you all mean by ticketed items? Is this like what Best Buy does with handing out tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbeck96 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I have never shopped at Walmart on BF, what do you all mean by ticketed items? Is this like what Best Buy does with handing out tickets?I've never been to Best Buy on BF. Certain things, like bigger electronics, are of course in high demand and low in quantity. So, you have to stand in line and they will give out slips of paper or an actual ticket. But, at our Walmart you are not allowed to leave that line except to go to the bathroom or for a 5-10 minute break. This will be my first year having to stand in line (if the Nabi 2 is a ticketed item). Last year the trampolines were ticketed items, but they just handed us our ticket and we were allowed to go. But we could not lose that ticket.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkrbel Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Does one actually "camp out" at Walmart since it is open 24 hours?people tend to sit in store forming a line in front of where they're told things they want will be...sometimes they've been misled.

happysunshine28 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Last year the manager came thru and told all the cashiers to let people get the later stuff and told them how to override it. That was so great. I had one thing and I was willing to leave without it, but didnt have too. I think he was wanting all the people out of the store, lol.

mtsuboy Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Most Supercenters are open 24/7 with the exception of blue laws, and Christmas eve from 6pm-December 26th 6AM. Since I work there I have to be there Thanksgiving night. I enjoy watching people act crazy. If I didn't work there I'd be visiting with my family. I'd NEVER brave the crowds shopping at Walmart on BF. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year they will be open all day Thanksgiving though, so I am planning on going about 5:00 to get in line for the Nabi 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catholicbride11 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Our town has a 24 hour WalMart so no camping out, but people do get there very early. I show up 4-5 hours early and I am never the only one hanging around their top item. No such thing as getting there too early, especially not this year with the sale starting at 8pm. I'm tacking more time onto my usual plan just to make up for the crowd of inexperienced people who no doubt will be there due to a start time that means people have to put zero effort into showing up. I short no people don't camp for days, but people DO show up early and they ARE ruthless and rude so come prepared. I could have sworn I read somewhere that the non 24 hour WalMarts were going to let people in instead of waiting outside the doors to avoid the rush of people and the subsequent deaths it seems to cause?

lakee05 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I went to my walmart last week and picked up some of the blu-rays and other stuff that are advertised in the bf ad and hid them in the store so I wont have to worry about fighting the crowd for them. I had to make sure nobody was looking, but this saves precious time on black friday. Especially if you find yourself having to stand in line for another item.
