Cecilliadb Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I know this might sound like a dumb question but there are alot of the sames stores very close to eachother in my area. For instance...there is a wal-mart right down the street but it's kinda crummy, the wal-mart I like to go to is about 10 miles away, then theres the super wal-mart in the other direction about 15-20 miles. Same with the Targets, and here's me not knowing which way to go. Are the super stores better then the smaller ones on BF?....do I just pick one, go and if they dont have what I want hit another?
copados1993 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Honestly, as far as picking from a super store or the regular one, I would almost pick the smaller one. I know where I live, the Super Walmart is twice as busy as the regular one. To decide which store in general to go to first, you need to wait until the ads come out. Go through them and see what is the best for what you are looking for. Good luck and Happy Shopping!!
tdanette Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I have only a small Wal-Mart in my immediate area so I go there if most of what I want is going to be there or travel to the city if i'm going to BB, CC, etc also. What I have found is that my WM has the same items on BF and I don't have to get up nearly as early as I do to go line up at the others. I got there last year at 3, was second in line and I don't think the next person was there until at least 3:30. The line didn't really form until after 4 or 4:30. So, as BF goes, if WM is your main target, one should be just as good as another.
mum2luke Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I would go with the smaller store. They have the same things, it's just not as crowded. :)
Bestbuy7 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Im still undecided. There is this one walmart in the same mall as BB AND CC AND The mall, but being that its the only walmart in NYC its probably going to be crowded as heck.
blakes_mommy Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 The best deal of course and i travel to reading which is an hour and a half away. It is worth it!
love2beurwifey Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I go to whichever store is the biggest and have the best deals I hardly ever go in a regular walmart unless its something I need really fast otherwise I go to super walmart
sigrist_2000 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 the one that has the most deals/sales on items i want or need..i go first, then the next etc...also opening times determine certain stores too.

josetann Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Double check the ad prices. Are all the Wal-Marts in the same region with the same ad (might sound like a stupid question, but 20-30 miles can make a huge difference)? If one just opened within the past few months, don't even try, it'll probably have a huge crowd just cause it's still new. Other than that, it's best to go by previous experience. If you've hit several on past Black Fridays and notice that one seems to have a lot of the doorbusters hours after the start of the sale, then that'd be a good one to keep going to. Also, what other stores are nearby? Where I'm at there's four Wal-Marts within about 10-15 miles of each other (well, probably five, but I never venture out to the farthest one), but only one is near a Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, Sam's Club, Toys 'R Us, and K-Mart (one is right across the street from another K-Mart, but that's it). This year we'll have a Kohl's open for BF, and it's near the same Wal-Mart, so that's the section of town we'll concentrate in. Now if that one's out of something I want, I still have a few other Wal-Marts I can hit before I head back home. Wanted a $50 rolling tool chest a few years back, first two were out but the last one had it. Edit: It looks like I don't know correct grammar, but trust me I typed in Wal-Mart s with an s, but it changed it to Wal-Mart without an s. Argh!
stationchief Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 The WM Supercenters are open 24 hours a day, so they might be easier to wait in line at. At least you have a large selection, like just in case the line at one WM is too big you can go to another one with a shorter line.
Marcster Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 The best deal of course and i travel to reading which is an hour and a half away. It is worth it!Reading, PA! I'll be in Wyomissing. Where in Reading do you go?
able Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 the best deals...but i dont think id tralel an hour for them,, usually i just hope i go this year!
chaoz Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 i just look at all ads other than walmart and BB refuse to give either 1 penny
jellybean051901 Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 I prefer the WM that I am most familiar with the layout of. PLus I like the way they handle BF
colelane2001 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 I guess for me it depends on whoever has the best deals. We have most of the major stores between 2-3 miles.
aznsniper911 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Go to whoever has the best prices that you are interested in. Otherwise go all around and pick randomly.
brynnfromtheblock Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Here's a scientific theory for it......((O*A) - I) / W O = Stores that are open first times A = Stores that in are a good area (have other stores near them that you want to visit) minus I = The most important item on your list all divided by W = What you can price match at Walmart!! LOL!!
carheel Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 two year ago i went to walmart and we had to stand outside, this was the regular walmart, last year we went ot superwalmart and we were able to come in the store, just not get the door buster stuff till the store was suppose to be open.
CrayZMama80 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 I normally go to the store that has the most that I need for my kids. After that it's just pure luck if anything is left at other stores when I get there. Last year it was BB for the 149 computers. They aren't that great, still working but, with homeschooling 2 kids, they came in handy. It was worth the -11 degree temps for them..
cherry33778 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 I would go to the stores that have the most important things I want, i.e. Walmart, and find one that is the closest to all the other stores.
Cheryll Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 BB is the Best-love the number system! Hope weather is better this year in NY
phrogxix Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 I tend to go by the most important and hard to acquire item of the morning, and then try to map out which location of that (I'm in suburban Chicago, so there's several instances of the major chains) store is nearest to the secondary items in importance. Nicely, there's a Fry's very close to a Best Buy, Circuit City, major mall, Wal Mart, etc. near me :)
raydees Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I usally go to Walmart first than BB,target and Kmart sometimes I will go to mall only if have good BF sales:yup:
J_Man Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Small store or large store, all of them are busy. I just see who has the item or items I want most and go there. I try to get done as soon as possible so I can hit the other stores.
cmancdf1 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 It's always Wal-mart or Bestbuy...been like that all the years i've been doing this
