Got my wm ad in the mail today

I got the sale flyer for bf at Walmart oday in the mail. Looks like the items were right, and nothing good there this year. I was excited because I thought it was a big thick flyer with maybe some surprises inside...no such luck.

 

7 pages (not cramped by any means) of the sale items from 6am-11am. Many even say also available on walmart.com. I'm skipping wm this year.

 

Anyways, just wanted to let you guys know I got mine in the mail, and not through the Thursday paper.

I got the delivery of some BF flyers today, too. BB is saying most items are available online as well. So, who's not doing the "also available online" thing but strictly B&M?

 

BTW, there's no Apex 27" TV for $89.99, no eMachines AMD Athlon XP 2800+ with LCD monitor 15" for $349.99, or 14" MAG LCD Monitor for $99. But there is a WD 160GB HD for $29.99! So all hope is not lost. Just hope I can get it online and not have to wait in line for 3 to 5 hours. And the weather forecast for my neck of the woods is COLD!!!

Got the WMart ad -it was ok - not spectacular. Did not get anything from BB.

 

I'm curious if this will turn out to be the bleak BF some have predicted OR if maybe the stores will resort to "unadvertised" specials, thereby rewarding the faithful who line up outside the store, but avoiding the pitfalls of being PMd or having the well prepared customers cherry pick each store.

Thanks for the heads up samcasey! :yelclap: bummer on the emachine :(

 

I think we'd all LOVE to know what rebates are on the WD drive - probably similar to those on this drive at officemax this week??

 

Anything on the TOSHIBA notebook at BB???? Thanks again!

venerdinero, there is a couple of laptops I can recall on the ad. I don't have it in hand right now. But there's a Toshiba Satellite with 2.66GHz Celeron M, 256MB, 40GB, and DVD-CDRW for $499 after $400 INSTANT REBATE (No MIR!!!)! Now I know where you'll be camping this Friday morning. :-)

How has the deal for laptops in the past worked? Did you have to wait in the computer department for the sales to try and load you up with a bunch of crap? At my BB for the past two years, the limited quanity door buster items they were giving out vouchers to those who stood in line for hours. The vouchers allowed those people and myself to shop for other things and pick them up at the checkout. Do they do this with Laptops as well?

Yep, vouchers will be handed out so that those who have them can go after another deal without worrying about when they purchase it.

This is what I'm having hubby pick up. Woo hoo.. someone else had told me there was no mir on it too. Finally more and more things are instant rebates instead of waiting around to get your cash back! :yelclap:

Thanks for the heads up on that. Wish I could see the ad. My newspaper hardly has the ads in them. Am thinking someone finds places they want and leaves ads out of their whole delivery area. :rant: And they wonder why they don't get tipped. Duhhh..lol! Once I see the ad in person I will know for sure about the rebate deal. Am hoping this is correct. Would be great!

B/c of the new style of Celerons...the Celeron M laptops around 1.4 are rated faster than a Celeron 2.66 would be.

Interesting. Thanks CheapArse! I'll have to read up, normally I quickly move past things marked Celeron! :) I know they're better than they used to be, but a celeron is still a celeron. At these pricing levels, it's not reasonable to be picky! I have actually purchased Celeron PC's for less than $300 and they have <knocking on wood> performed reasonably well for basic tasks. I'm not sure I'd want to use photoshop on them or start gaming on them, but hey -they serve their purpose.
