cllehto Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 They aren't leaving much planning time to compare with other site sales.
jtitus2014 Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 That's what I am thinking. The way we normally do Black Friday planning money wise is by paying all the bills up for the month at the end of October/first week of November. I then take and save work checks for the rest of the month for Black Friday (week of Thanksgiving). Looks like I am going to have to go with a retailer who is doing it closer to the end of the month like normal instead of Walmart. 3

ytmomof4 Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Come on Walmart. They are killing me with suspense. I hope the wait is worth it. 5
jaymacfla Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 I was in Wally world recently and heard that they will do a sale a week. We shall see. No camping since they and best Buy destroyed the holiday.
starbeck96 Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 Come on Walmart. They are killing me with suspense. I hope the wait is worth it.I kind of wonder if they will release it after the sale Oct. 26th. I wouldn't have even known about it if not looking at TVs. There was a TV priced at 398.00 and under that price it said 198.00 Oct. 26. It is a sale for plus members only. I don't know if it is a one day sale or what but I am hoping that they release the ad after this sale ends. 4

jtitus2014 Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 I really hope so because they are not giving us much time before the sale that starts the 7th. My thoughts exactly. I feel like the ads should have been released last week with the first sale being on the 7th. 2
ytmomof4 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 I’m starting to think we won’t be seeing this early 2
HanShotFirst Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 I’m starting to think we won’t be seeing this earlyMe too or either I’m being extremely impatient. Seems like we should have more out by now though. 2
ytmomof4 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Me too or either I’m being extremely impatient. Seems like we should have more out by now though.I was thinking the exact same thing. I remember a few years ago we would sometimes have little ads the beginning of October
abentley Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 I am such a planner that this is really getting me out of my comfort zone!! Too close to November 7th to really appreciate the level of analysis I normally do for this event! 2

I need to look at the ad multiple times and make a list or I should say list’s because it will change multiple times 1
bethed Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Is it me or are the ads just slow this year??The Walmart sale is almost here and still no ad 2
Brad Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 Is it me or are the ads just slow this year??The Walmart sale is almost here and still no adOther than the Walmart ad being a little late, we're pretty much exactly where we were last year. JCPenney is Tuesday, Kohl's is Friday, Walmart could be tonight. 3
chester5 Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 I'm looking forward to Kohl's AND Walmart. Hoping it's a very good week for planning!Other than the Walmart ad being a little late, we're pretty much exactly where we were last year. JCPenney is Tuesday, Kohl's is Friday, Walmart could be tonight.
abentley Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 I was hoping you had some super top secret insider info for us that is was going to drop tonight with certainty!!! Other than the Walmart ad being a little late, we're pretty much exactly where we were last year. JCPenney is Tuesday, Kohl's is Friday, Walmart could be tonight.
daftande Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 I did a little digging and more than one Walmart associate has mentioned there is no printed ad. At least for event 1. Pretty big change! Hope we see one at least for the last event.
Brad Posted October 31, 2022 Author Posted October 31, 2022 I'd be very surprised if there isn't at least some kind of digital ad. They expect people to just show up in stores each week without knowing what's on sale? When the online starts, it's usually a page with 1000+ deals, most of which aren't available in stores and many are from third party sellers. You can't really use that to know what will be on sale in stores. 4
freesia39 Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 They're playing with all of our emotions. 2
HanShotFirst Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 They're playing with all of our emotions.No joke!

Hope we see one at least for the last event. If they're waiting to see what others are offering and deciding to undercut the competition, then it's a huge gamble. Not releasing ads for a sale to happen in 1 week is a very risky proposition especially when Kohl's 1 day sale with $15 KC goes live on Nov 4, 3 full days before WM online sale goes live..... WM may lose out when customers have already spent money at competing stores! 1
abentley Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 I personally really don’t like sorting through all of the 1000+ deals either from the third party sellers. No offense to them, but I like the simplicity of an ad! I even am a Walmart + person even though I can’t have order delivered from the store nor is there gas station in my area. I like the 7 hour head start! I'd be very surprised if there isn't at least some kind of digital ad. They expect people to just show up in stores each week without knowing what's on sale?

I like the 7 hour head start! I don’t either and it will make me not even shop, which is what I did on all the Prime Days this year. If I have something specific I’m on the hunt for then I might but just to shop for that perfect gift, nope. 2
mjbateman Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 My list is also made. I just need some deals!
HanShotFirst Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Without an ad I may not even look at allI won’t. I start my new job Nov 7 so if no ad then no shopping will be done. I know there still time but…..
ytmomof4 Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 I was also just told no ad. I really hope these associates are wrong but it’s not looking good
his_lil_gemini Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 One of my local stores posted a picture on FB with a QR code mentioning 1000s of deals for "Black Friday deals for days".
