megnsamsgrace Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I had gone into walmart 3 weeks ago and put everything on layaway I wanted (thanks to this forum). My total layaway was $536... I managed to pay off $86 before BF. When I walked in, I owed $450.11 and came away paying $221.37. I pricematched EVERYTHING. I PM 4 of the Gameboy Advanced from CC. I PM 2 GBA games, 5 DVDs, the Fashion Fever Barbies rang up at $5 anyway (a WM sale price)....I cant remember the rest! I had all my ads in hand and my list and they didnt ask to see a thing. I was there at 7:15am and the store was dead. I was first in line (well... there was no line) at layaway... then my son and I walked around the toys... there were so many early bird sale items... there was no rushing around, no pushing... hardly anyone shopping! We did end up getting a couple more sale items (Spongebob TV/DVD, 20in Bratz, matchboxes). We went to the cashier to ring up and again no line. I am not sure if its because where this WM is, there really isnt any other stores around so everyone went to bigger towns to hit the others stores or what. I hope others had some good experiences with WM on BF! Steph
sherrinfred Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I didn't have any problem against Walmart myself. I didn't have a CC ad so they wouldn't PM my GBA. Oh well, had about 6 other items that did get PM. Can't win them all?? I did get all the Blitz items I had on my list and only waited about 10-15 minutes in line to check out.
Lorisha Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I had a wonderful experience at my WM also. Got everything I went there for and more. Was in and out within 15 minutes. It was actually what I would consider packed too but they had all 30 registers open with people helping sack so checking out was a breeze! Walmart and Kmart are the only "good" department stores in my town you have to drive about 45 minutes to get to the city so there was a lot of people at both of them.
elena_398 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I had a good experience also. Was allowed to put items in my cart by 3:30am, in line to checkout by 4am. Talked with the cashier till 5am then out of the store by 5:10am,
abentley Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I had a good experience with my local store... but not online. In fact if I had been able to order what I wanted, I would of stayed home.
Melissa Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I had a good first-time Wal-mart BF experience. I got there at about 5:00am, got everything on my list, and checked out at 5:22am.
cook4andy Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Good experience here too, only wish they had more big ticket items.
MECarpenter68 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I didn't get to our Walmart until almost 5. Got almost everything I wanted except IDOG. I had ordered online at 4am Central time and got an IDOG, jeans and dvd player with no problems...........next year people need to check Walmart online earlier than 5 am. I had no server problems and my items have already shipped!!
justjessie99 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 We had a great time at Walmart...priced matched almost every thing in my cart, that wasn't already a door buster....It was great!!
sns128 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I had a very good Walmart experience. I got the 52" tv and everything else I wanted. I price matched alot from other stores and only had to stand in line for two hours. I'll take that any day over spending my entire Thanksgiving in line.
LadyIzShy Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 LOVED WM this year. My friend even managed to get the 148 desktop she needed. works for me... with the PM i saw no need to go anyplace else.. nobody else would PM for me.. i asked
misshayley Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 My WM experience was great too. I got all the items that I had gone in after and found everything that I wanted to PM, except one game (WM doesn't carry it, but I thought I would see.)
Trish1298 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 My store wasn't too busy. Got everything I wanted.
AndreaInNC Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 The WM I was in was a bit disorganzied but very accommodating. I got a raincheck for the $148.00 computer - which I picked up Saturday afternoon (they couldn't find them) and everything was PMd with or without an ad.
koalamom Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Good experience here too. Had a little bit of a time finding things but overall it was nice. Wal-Mart is the only store real close to us(20 minutes). Nearest other stores like KMart, Staples, Sears, Old Navy and JCPenneys are all over a hour away. Too get to a Best Buy or circuit City I would have to travel over two hours. So unless I want to camp-out(too cold here in PA for that)or wake up at 2:00AM(not my cup of tea either) I am pretty much stuck with just Wal-Mart. But that's alright DH and I had already went to Erie shopping the week before so we had about 75% of what we wanted bought.
sevirj Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Where I live, I'm about half-way between 2 Walmarts, both about 20-30 minutes away. Last year, I went to a Wal-Mart Supercenter in a smaller town (thinking only a few people would be there). I arrived about 4:00am, and was about 60-75th in line , and had to scramble to get everything I wanted. This year, I went to a regular Wal-mart, and decided to get there a little earlier (which ended up being only about 3:45. long story) because I thought more people would be there than the other store. When I got there, only 10 people in line - I guess everybody must have decided to sleep in a little this year. By the time 5:00 rolled around, there were about 200 or so people behind me . I was able to get everything I wanted, no problems!!
daworths8 Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Mine was good, Im in a small area town, crowds werent bad and I got everything I wanted except the idogs. Wasnt something 2 of my kids asked for just something I wanted to get for them so its no biggie.
