laffnatu Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I was told today by a manager that Wal-Mart will have the 8 items previewed in commericals starting Wednesday. No clue on time frame or anything else.Like they did the Garth Brooks commercials last year.
afflictedmuse Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I am really hoping the XBox 360 or Nintendo DS is going on Blitz. Maybe WM caught wind of the overwhelming vote for the $100 360 core system on Amazon.com a girl can dream atleast! Just hope it's something worth waiting in line with dinner for.
bigjimslade Posted November 20, 2006 Author Posted November 20, 2006 I was told today by a manager that Wal-Mart will have the 8 items previewed in commericals starting Wednesday. No clue on time frame or anything else.If anyone has a family member or a friend who works in TV ask them if they can find out. Someone in the AD and or Traffic dept of any TV station should know when the ads will run.
lindabacker Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 we are only 2 and a half hours away from it being the 20th so we will all know soon.
littlemama Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I wonder if the ad is available at the store, like if I went tomorrow morning, I could grab one. Will it be in the newspaper or mail? How will I know where it is???
cjohns10 Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I saw the circular in my local store today. The only computer I noticed was an hp multimedia center. There will be a 42" plasma for around $999 and a 32" plasma for $598. I think they both were HD units. I didn't notice the PS3, but then again, i'm not in the market for one so i wasn't looking.
rimshot Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I wonder if they won't be mirroring what Amazon is doing? For those not familiar with it, they are voting now what items will be put on Thanksgiving Day for a huge savings. I voted but I remember was the one I voted for, a Xbox 360 for $100, Mongoose Mountain Bike for abt $30. Possibility..........
Christy Garner Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I will definitely start checking walmart website at 12:01 Thursday am - I want to know these 8 special deals.
mom04 Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 company researchers have found that late Thursday is a busy online time as shoppers prepare their next-day plans. That’s when the company will disclose its latest deals eight additional exceptional Black Friday features will be available only at stores on November 24 from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Beginning Monday, November 20, shoppers can check their mailboxes for Wal-Mart’s eight-page print “Black Friday” ad circular, chock-full of after Thanksgiving bargains. The deals will accompany a 24-page circular featuring many additional values. ***** I posted this because to me I get the impression that the online ads might not be posted till Thur afternoon ? Also...It looks like the mail flyers will hit our boxes tomorrow, or might be in the stores ? Just thought this info might help !!!!!
peachysquirt21 Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 If the BF ad is gonna be in the mail on Monday they more then likely they will have that ad on there site Monday as well or shortly after. So for the 8 special deals should check Walmarts site Thursday night. I wonder if we are all gonna be so shocked for these 8 items or dissapointed once again.
sigrist_2000 Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 also on top on the 8 deals..they are going to have 70 other slae items...prolly price-matching items? Quote: The company said it plans to announce 70 other sale items for Nov. 24, called Black Friday because at one time it was considered the day retailers turned profitable for the year. Wal-Mart said earlier this week it is boosting online advertising and increasing the number of holiday circulars distributed in newspapers to eight from five last year.
rimshot Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Got my BF flyer in todays mail. The 24 page circular has a notation on the bottom to check Walmart.com for 5 days of Super Online Specials: Mon. Nov. 27 - Fri. Dec. 1 hmmmmmmm
theboyzmom Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Awww man!!! Our mail doesn't come until almost 5pm!!!! ARRGGHHHHH
tntfuller Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Got my BF flyer in todays mail. The 24 page circular has a notation on the bottom to check Walmart.com for 5 days of Super Online Specials: Mon. Nov. 27 - Fri. Dec. 1hmmmmmmmYes, I saw that on the ad scan that's been posted here for awhile.
tntfuller Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 also on top on the 8 deals..they are going to have 70 other slae items...prolly price-matching items? Here's what I'm wondering about the 70 other sale items. If you look at the blitz adscan there are about 70 items on sale from 5 to 11. So, is that all they're talking about- the early bird items that were already leaked? Or are there 70 more? That article in the OP was from Nov. 17 and the blitz ad wasn't supposed to be officially available until today. WM could have easily been playing dumb about the fact that we already knew about 70 items on sale. I hope I'm wrong, but ...? Well, those 8 items better be really good!
kbwdln Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I am on the phone with my mom at Walmart in New Hampshire. The manager at that store does not and will not know about the 8 secrets until Wednesday afternoon at the earliest. They know about the secrets, just not what they area!!
theboyzmom Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Went to WM today, no ads. Mail just came, no ads. ARRGGHHHHHHHH
baraginfinder Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I am a little confused by the Wal Mart ad. I was in the store last night and I saw tons of Baby Alive dolls, fisher price dollhouses, some kind of dora playhouse, and lots of other toys on the main aisle that weren't mentioned in their flyer. Does anyone think that these will be on sale on BF also?
cbtlab Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Got my ad in the mail today. Same as was on website here.
Tracy72 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Went to WM today, no ads. Mail just came, no ads. ARRGGHHHHHHHH my mom went to hers also and they didnt have any:no:
cpres Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Okay the notes said November 20...and well it's 9:51PM (local time) and WHERE ARE THE ADS AHHHHHHHHHHHH :)
mccabefamily29 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Didn't get one in the mail either...not in the store either
Guest vjwilson27 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Hubby works at a WM distribution center and this makes ALOT of sense. I see said the blind man!
LadyIzShy Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 hmm if they are telling the managers wed. we will know by that night here at gottadeal.
elena_398 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 This is killing me. LOL. Of course no ad. My paperboy probably is hording them. haha
elena_398 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Im shocked. I got the mail today and the Walmart ad and Radio Shack BF ad was in there. YEAH
splitsecond Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Look at this thread - I know of a new item! The person that started the thread works at a TV station is going to check to see if they can find out more info. If anyone has a family member or a friend who works in TV ask them if they can find out. Someone in the AD and or Traffic dept of any TV station should know when the ads will run.
