glo Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I put a 32 inch flat screen HDTV on layaway last month. On Black friday it goes from being $845 to $ 598. Will they let me take mine off layaway Black Friday and get the sale price?
kwalke12 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 you should go and ask the store manager if you put something in layaway and then it goes on sale do you get the new sale price. odds are you will but it doesnt hurt to ask. and if they say that you can get the sale price then on BF go when you go in (if you are an early morn shopper) go back to lay away and do it right awy before there is a 2hr line.
trace401 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 they told me that if you have something in layaway the price will automatically adjust, but i dont see that happening. so you probably should ask.
tdespain Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 No, because the last day to put items on Layaway at ANY Wal-Mart is November 19th. BF is November 24. You can not put items on Layaway for BF this year.
Guest medako Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I asked specifically about this issue. They said that unlike most specials, Black Friday prices will not be automatically adjusted. However...here's the good part. If you have items in layaway prior to BF, all you have to do is take your items out prior to the end of the sale...then they will adjust the price according to the ad. So, just put the items off the ad that you want into layaway before this Sunday and you're good
theboyzmom Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 right...just make sure that you are there taking your LAW out during the HOURS of the sale too! not just the same day (so if the items are on sale from 6am to 11am, you better have your LAW out before 11am...get it?)
flea Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I was told that you had to go and tell them to adjust the prices but you didnt have to take the layaway out.

Will they let me take mine off layaway Black Friday and get the sale price?Don't get too excited. I can almost guarantee that the one you have on LAW and the one for BF are not the same one. At the very least they will have two different UPC numbers.
jade2002 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I put a PSP in layaway last night.The man said I didnt have to pick the layaway up next friday to get the sale price for it but I do have to make a payment on it.He said the price would automatically adjust.
flea Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 You dont have to pick it up but you do have to be there during the sale time and ask for the discount price. I checked again today and was told that the price does not automatically adjust, you have to request it.
johjstc Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 You dont have to pick it up but you do have to be there during the sale time and ask for the discount price. I checked again today and was told that the price does not automatically adjust, you have to request it.If you ask them to check and see if anything is on sale that you have on layway they will check for you. Is it just for that week of if its been on sale since you started layaway??
kmw55106 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 how much will the ps2s be can anyone tell me? going to tell the bfs mom to get him one and wanna tell her if there is a good deal anywhere.
rays9268 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 you can take it out of friday and they will do a price change for you. you will have to pay for it on friday to get the price
BabyTC Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Don't get too excited. I can almost guarantee that the one you have on LAW and the one for BF are not the same one. At the very least they will have two different UPC numbers.I think you are correct with that for the tvs I went today to look for the 32 and the 42 that name was no where to be found. I even asked for the tv by name and they didn't have any in stock. If you have the stock # they can look it up for you. I got the psp though. Even if you don't put it in layaway and buy it you can get a price adjustment within 7 days. But you must do that before 11am. :yup: :yup:
BabyTC Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 how much will the ps2s be can anyone tell me? going to tell the bfs mom to get him one and wanna tell her if there is a good deal anywhere.Walmart will have it for 169. One game will be 14.88. :cheesy:
amdskip Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Just like the others have stated, 99% of the BF items at walmart are unique to BF. They could be the exact same item in a different box with a different UPC. Sorry but it's not going to work.
jdrd90 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I was told to just keep all my sales ads (including walmart's) and I could bring it in anytime by Dec 8th and they will adjust the price. S. Illinois
left210 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Walmart will have the PSP for 169 but Meijer has it for 149 so you can put it in layaway at Walmart and use Meijers ad to price adjust on BF.
theboyzmom Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I was told to just keep all my sales ads (including walmart's) and I could bring it in anytime by Dec 8th and they will adjust the price. S. Illinoisjust to be safe, I'd see if you can get it in writing...a lot of the BF ads are very specific that the sale price is only for Friday and only from like 6am-11am...our walmart will NOT pm if it's past that sale time... for example: my stuff in LAW, I was told that I had to take it OUT on BF to get the price adjustments because they aren't allowing anyone to put BF items IN to LAW...so if I went and got the PM, it would show that day, but if I went back the next day to take them out, the BF price wouldn't be there...now it may be a bunch of bull...but I don't want to take that chance, I asked several people at our store, and they all said the same thing
mandyj Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I was told they will not price match the Wal Mart BF ad for stuff I had on LAW, but they would price the other stores as long as I brought the ad in during the sale period. They said I could either make a payment on it or take it out that day -- it didn't matter.
xbatman Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I put a 32 inch flat screen HDTV on layaway last month. On Black friday it goes from being $845 to $ 598. Will they let me take mine off layaway Black Friday and get the sale price?It looks like this TV is the one they have online now. Shipping is almost $25, but $622 is still way better than $845 if you're worried about getting one on BF.
left210 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 All of you who plan to PM your Walmart LAW might want to call back and check on it. I was in my WM today and was adding to my LAW and just said I wanted to confirm I had to come in during the early birds to PM and the lady so "Oh our mgr just decided today that LAW will not be open on BF so no PM On LAW on BF." I was very mad because I have over $1K in LAW and was told I could do this by the LAW dept. She said I would have to talk to the mgr. I called him and he was not noncommittal but said I could check with him that morning and he would look at what I had and decide but would not guarantee anything. He said I should not be using LAW to PM. I thought WM wanted you to bring your business to them instead of other stores. Oh well, I am going to go to the stores that will have the main thing I want (PSP) then go to WM about my LAW. That sucks b/c I dont know if he will do it and need to know before BF so I know how to plan my shopping day.
megnsamsgrace Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I had called 2 weeks ago, I called 5 different WM about this very thing. 3 here in CT and 2 in MA (since we live on the state line). All 5 said the same thing, that I can PM when I pick up my LAW. Because of the previous post, I called back the stores... all 5 will be open BF and all said I can PM when I pick up. I know all stores are different but this is just my experience
peppysfireball Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I have always got 3 or 4 layaways going at walmart having three kids and 3 grandkids. You should always ask them to scsan your receipt on pickup and they will adjust all prices. I have actually gottn money back doing this. I will this time because i have gba games on layaway and walmart here marked all 20 dollar ones to 5 yesterday.
alora7 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I just talked to our layaway dept. and they said that since layaway is being phased out today that their computers will not be able to give the sale prices on BF items in LAW. She said that normally it would automatically find the sale price and give it to you but that their computers will not be updating prices after today. I live in Oklahoma so I don't know if this is regional but since everyone is phasing out LAW I wouls thin kit would be the same everywhere. BTW I got my BF ad in today and I will scan it in and post it in the correct forum as soon as I get it done. It looks like all of the items are the same as the one up now but some prices are a little lower or a little higher but that may be a regional thing as walmarts have diferent prices all over the country (I travel to Oregon every christmas and know this to be true). Good Luck!
