jlodoj Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 We had the photocopied inserts at the Wal-Mart store too. I think they will probably have them at all of the stores since they want to make sure they have the lowest prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommie2one Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Wonder if any of those deals with be online. Weather is going to be horrible on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenofshopping Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Why does Walmart do this crap? Settle on prices... NATIONWIDE!!!!!!!i think it's awesome, im going to walmart anyway & more competition can only get me even better deals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturnboy01 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 My ad had TONS of other items also besides the ones we already knew about (SA, TX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teresa92 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 WTH? When I enter my zip online I see the BF ad, a page of BF electronics and the new toy page, all next to each other and you click which one you want to view up close. The laptop price on the first (big) ad is $488 but right next to it on the electronics page it shows it for $378. I'm not after the laptop, but it just doesn't make sense.

shanni Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Why does Walmart do this crap? Settle on prices... NATIONWIDE!!!!!!!As a former employee of Walmart I can tell you why they do this, each stores prices are suppose to be competitive for their specific locations. That's why prices at one Walmart can be very different from another Walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masilke Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 How cool Masilke and Kandy......we are all in the same area!!! :yay: I didn't think that out of this big ole www that anyone from LA (lower Alabama) would be in here. Come by the credit union in Daleville sometime and say Hi to me. Have great Black Friday.....KittyWhat are your plans for BF? order of stores?

masilke Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 I had the same issues guys, my ad (official WM ad) would give me the highest price. The link I posted had sometimes lower/ higher prices but the photocopied handouts from WM had the lowest. I am going to try and scan them in!!!

StickyKeys Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Walmart won't price match other Walmarts, and you have to remember that Walmart online prices don't include shipping which can fill in that extra rather quickly. My stinkin' Walmart added a bunch of crap too, I'm thinking of going today and getting that stuff and putting it in lay-a-way so I can still go to Circuit City on Friday morning.

sigrist_2000 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 walamart waited till they seen the other competitors ads (probably from this site...hence they did release their ad month in advance..i think there was a reason for this...(the flyer)) so they took the items that were higher in their own ad and made them cheaper than their competitors. Or to make their sales more appealing to more customers hence the 378 laptop instead of 398....but the flyer is only for the walmarts with stiff competition...

kimmysangel3 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I am in Wisconsin and i seen a commercial last night for Walmarts Black friday sales and at the bottom of the screen it says "prices not in Wisconsin, Hawaii and a couple other places. The Lap top is priced $632 and the desk top is priced $492 and alot of other things are much-much higher here from toys to anything. So i looked at Target and CC and BB and the prices are the same. I wonder why only Walmart? I bet alot of people would be pretty upset if they knew. Some of the Walmarts are right in the area of BB, CC, and other stores so hmmm. The price differances are pretty high like the Leapster L-Max here it is $99.88 and across the border in Ill. it is $89.88. I will have to ask at my local Walmart to see why that is. Just thought i would share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulchman22 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I think if you check in the store you will find alot of prices LOWER than the ad this is because of their ad leaks and because of the other ads being leaked they are lowering prices of items on sale at say TARGET (etc.) to compete with them. i.e. PMing or going even lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pun Guy Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Local paper has full page Wallymart ads on back page of several sections with the new lower prices...the Wallymart insert ad has the older, higher prices. I believe they must have not reprinted the circulars, but sure does make it confusing. Anyone else see that Walmart is price matching other BF ads?

Laptops should be $378 at pretty much every walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laffnatu Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I was at WM last night and they had the "extra" ad posted everywhere. It didn't have the desktop on it and I got scared.. I asked the electronics guy if they were gonna have it. He said yes.. The reason for the extra ad is because others are having laptops, lightsabers ($22 at Target, $21 at Walmart), etc.. cheaper and they are just competing with the competition. Which is great, because I wanted the Target lightsaber, but we don't have a Target for 30 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvmygirl Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Well, I just went to my local Walmart and asked for the new ads and was told they don't have anything new I wonder if they are just hiding them for some reason or if my Walmart doesn't have anything to add.
