momof5plus1hubby Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I went to Walmart yesterday. I was looking around outside for mums. I turn my head and there is tons of boxes covered with tarps, and locked up:cheesy: I just wanted to run over there and rip off the tarps
syberselections Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Go back and rip them off. What's underneath? Inform us....too exciting
dmmiller Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Yeah, our walmart has these big Bins, like the size of those PODS. All locked up like Fort Knox. Very frustrating... Cuz I wanna know whats in them.
elena_398 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I didn't see anything in my Walmart (pallet wise). Now their lawn and garden section is completely stocked now of christmas items. Seems they're done as nothing else can be put on shelves for merchandise. I always get excited when seeing that!
peachysquirt21 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I am goin to Walmart tonight. Will see if they have anything like this at mine.
pogiporkchop Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 At last count I saw 2, possibly 4 storage units in my garden center. I think I'll go again today just for fun.
rogue1230 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Just for the heck of it and to see what they would say.... has anyone just asked them? Hey What's in those big things anyway- look cute and innocent while doing this.....
Cecilliadb Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 The wal-mart closest to use has started clearing out their garden department and setting up more shelves. Theres a bunch of boxes and crates all along the back walls and way up high....mwahaha.

Hey What's in those big things anyway- look cute and innocent while doing this.....I am sick at the moment so I dont know if I can look cute & innocent.
rogue1230 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I am sick at the moment so I dont know if I can look cute & innocent. even better ( not that you're sick- cuz that's bad) Play the sympathy card... ask em if they have the new super soft tissue in those crates
heavenlysshine Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 OK, now you guys are all just being BIG TEASES. The WalMArt closest to me doesn't have a thing in lawn & garden. Take a peek! Live on the edge! :gdevillaugh:
Ripn Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I saw a bunch of boxes almost 2 weeks ago in the Lawn & Garden section...they looked like Christmas decorations, trees, lights, etc.
peachysquirt21 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I saw a bunch of boxes almost 2 weeks ago in the Lawn & Garden section...they looked like Christmas decorations, trees, lights, etc.I saw alot of this at mine too. Our garden center tho has tons of boxes all over. One of the things I was able to see cause it had a pic on the boxes, they had a bunch on a top shelf those cars that little kids can drive in. I thought stuff like that would be stored in the back.

One of the things I was able to see cause it had a pic on the boxes, they had a bunch on a top shelf those cars that little kids can drive in. I thought stuff like that would be stored in the back. Most stores don't have the room in the back to store those kinds of overstock, so it gets put where there is room. Especially around the holidays when there is a lot more overstock than normal.
elena_398 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 You should see the overstocked items in one of my Walmarts. Filled high in all overheads in the bed and bath and electronics department. ALL TOYS. Haven't seen any pallets with tarps as yet though
elena_398 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 The bath sets are everywhere too and cologne sets w/ holiday packaging. All over the overheads
hoopysgirl Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Mine so far just has Christmas stuff in the lawn and garden section. I asked my dh to keep an eye out in the backroom to the one he goes to (he is a vendor) for bf stuff. Hopefully one of us starts seeing something soon.
whitesocks Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I looked in two Wal-Marts near us and all I saw were beat-up cacti in the little Wal-Mart near us. The other one is a supercenter and I didn't see anything like the blitz stuff anywhere. All I saw was the garden stuff and Christmas decorations. I will keep looking.
blakes_mommy Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I haven't noticed anything. Everyone keep looking.
mom_of2boyz Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I haven't noticed anything. Everyone keep looking.You won't see anything at that store, :) blitz stuff all stays in the back. If something accidentally gets on the floor, there's almost a riot to get it back OFF the floor. (Just for the record, on one of your posts, you mentioned something about the area where you live and I figured out what store you are talking about)

cotinkandy1 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I was told by a wal-mart employe good friend of mine) that they are keeping everything hush hush until the release of the add. I replied I am sure we'll find out on Gottadeal.com;) I am sure she didn't like me much!! So come on we gotta find out the BIG secrets??:)

sns128 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 blitz is what Walmart employees call the sale the day after thanksgiving.
leefamily23 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 We don't get the ad.....I have to see it on here. We live 10 miles from a Walmart and they don't do the ad's here. My mom lives 25 miles from one and she gets them. I don't get it.....anyhow, she is usually good about saving it for me.
