Csmygirl Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Wow, our 24hour WM wouldn't even let us in the door until 6am. And we live in NE. Brrrrr.
elena_398 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Thank god then my Walmart never closes. Here in Ohio its FREEZING so early in the morning.
wifeymiller Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I wonder about the bike..... how does that work at the 24 hour stores? If it is worth it, I could go to the closest 24 hour store in order to get one of the bikes. My brother really really wants one.
8truths Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I was there for the laptop last year, and you were safe as late as 4:30. I think the last claimed spot was taken a few minutes before 5. Seems fair to me. Only thing that sucked was they had us all seated and they were handing the laptops out, but then a few people stood up and a bunch of people jumped line all at once.
Illinoismom Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I was there at 1:00am 5th in line for a lap top, had runners get other things out of there by 5:30 Am
ncgirl27 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 most of the time I get there around 330ish last year about 415..this year depending on the ad I might have to make it a 2am trip.. I live on a military base and wally world is just a mile off post.. its a good thing a lot of ppl go "home" for turkey day.. I hope a lot more went this year! WOO! for t-giving at my house this year!!!!!!!
Bikerchick Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Wow, our 24hour WM wouldn't even let us in the door until 6am. And we live in NE. Brrrrr.Which SC were you at? We don't have any 24 hour WM stores in MA nd I was planning to drive to NH so I could wait inside.
mom04 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I wonder about the bike..... how does that work at the 24 hour stores? If it is worth it, I could go to the closest 24 hour store in order to get one of the bikes.

pep521 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 i contacted my walmart they are 24 hours. the told me that since they are closed for thanksgiving they will open at 5am on friday
Guest JeepMom Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 i contacted my walmart they are 24 hours. the told me that since they are closed for thanksgiving they will open at 5am on fridayThat's a load of crap. They open at 12:01am. My MIL works there.
Guest JeepMom Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Your kidding? I don't get that. I'm in a small town and ours opens back up.
iteach1st Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I've gone to Black Friday WM sales for years, all over the country (whereever I happen to be on vacation at the time!) and have never gotten there before a few minutes before opening. And I've always gotten what I went for, no problems.
momof3girls Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Ours doesn't close for Thanksgiving. The only day they are closed is Christmas. Not sure what time I'll get to mine, might try and get everything online.
jennybean Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I've gone to Black Friday WM sales for years, all over the country (whereever I happen to be on vacation at the time!) and have never gotten there before a few minutes before opening. And I've always gotten what I went for, no problems.My DH and I also get to our WM (not SC ) about 4:45am every year since it's usually our first stop. We've always gotten what we went for. Of course, we don't usually go for the big items (tv, laptop, etc), so that may make a difference. We got there at 5:15 last year and still got a GBA. This year we need 2 of the port. DVD players, so I plan to be there no later than 4:45. That's the only big(-ish) ticket item we are after. The rest is clothing, DVDs, etc. This is one time that I'm happy to live in (actually, near) a smallish town
jennybean Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Oh, and our non-SC, 24-hour WMart closes at midnight for Turkey Day and doesn't reopen until 5am Friday. Next year should be interesting. The new SuperWmart and Menards shopping center opens September 2007!!!
Cannon1 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Last year here in va- 24hr store, 0300 got there; 0430 mgr firgures where people were to line up (in front of a pallet or at a makeshift desk for an index card); 0500 sale starts; 0520 hundreds of people waiting to check out; 0600 load items around back of store & depart.
Amomlovestoshop Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I will probably be at Walmart at 11pm Thanksgiving night. LAst time I got there at 1230 and I was 3-4 th in line. I did get a laptop though!
debp53 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I get there about 4:30 and pick up smaller (not so WOW) items and put in my cart, also locate bigger items that I'm interested in (I bring my daughter) and I post myself near one and her near the other to wait for the 'ribbon cutting' (they have the big items wrapped in cellaphane so you can't touch them till 5) and then we grap those items we think are hottest and move on to others. The best part of this is you're not waiting outside and then have to locate items you want. I've always gotten all the items I want because through the cellaphane you can see if they have a lot or a little of the items you want to buy and you line up at the ones they have the least of first.
BoazMedic Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 If for some reason they have the Ps3, which I am almost certain they will not, I will be there as soon as it is announced on Thursday :)
LadyIzShy Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 ok.. I l ive 5 mins from a SWM. its brand new, BUT the old one is being redone andmadeinto a SWM. I am thinking NOBODY will be at the one they are working on, but but but.. they arecloseduntil 5 andits COL|D| here in MI at 2am
debbie_r Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 The walmart here doesn't close so we can be nebby!!! We will get there at 2:30. Going to the prime outlets first at 12:00 am!!!I leave near the prime outlets and plan on going to those first at midnight then head over to the Walmart. I have never tried Walmart on Black Friday. Do you leave in small town like me. I wondered how early to get to Walmart.
Guest flashover30 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 i get to the store here at 3am i've been first in line 3 years running, crossing my fingers that streak continues.
