I'm guessing they are saving some of the better deals for their "secret" sale to be posted on Thanksgiving. Proabably don't want to tip their hand to the competition, especially since it looks like a lot of stores are doing similar things on Thanksgiving. Maybe next year we'll have almost live, real-time responses to each other's ads, lol. BB will post a $299 laptop, an hour later, WM will have a $289 laptop on their site, etc...

All I want is a deal on the FP Bounce and Spin Zebra, and they put it in their ad with their everyday price!

Yeah, I already bought the bounce & spin zebra like a week ago. There are no deals on this one. I was looking for the same thing. I went to Kmart. It was $38 and I used the $5 off fisher price purchase of $20 or more which made it $33. That is good enough for me. I haven't seen the B&S zebra at walmart or at tru so I went ahead and bought it when I saw it at Kmart!

Eh, it was just about what I expected for Walmart. Glad you didn't lose the affiliate account. Funny thing is, they have A LOT of the items out in the middle of the aisles now for those prices. The play kitchen I want is $10 cheaper here than anywhere else. Hopefully it goes on sale online Thurs and I can buy it through this link and pick it up in store at my convenience.

It definately looks like Walmart was so worried about sites posting the ad...they forgot to add good stuff in there! I dont think I will be heading out at all this year, all the ads are a little (actually alot) disappointing.

I just bought that exact Garmin on the net for over 200.00 yesterday:-(

Darn, darn, darn! I was so with the people who were over Wal-Mart and from what a lot of people were saying prior to this list being posted I was glad I was not going to have to go there. However, I am in the market for the PS2 and that bundle seems like a pretty good deal for two controllers and a game. I know the cool things this year are the 360, PS3 and especially the Wii, so what do y'all think? Will that PS2 bundle be a hot commodity? My one saving grace in this may be that the TRU ad posted and they have a PS2 bundle with 3 free games valued at $100. So what's a better deal? I imagine I could take those 3 games to Gamestop and trade them in for some my brother wants, but I just want the best deal and would appreciate input on that. Also, is that Guitar Hero 1 and 2 bundle just the game or does that include a guitar as well? I'm kinda looking for people to talk me out of going to "the Grinch who stole Christmas", so let me know whatcha think!

[lilbuddha]

Guitar hero bundles is usually the game and guitar.

[suddenly_1976]

I hope they will have the .97 shippping on the toys. Anyone know?

[Wirble]

Will we know the "secret" items before thanksgiving day? Only if there is a jaw dropping sale will I go to WM now, this ad is terrible

Actually, if you look at the ad scans, you'll see that this specific GH bundle is GH & GH2 bundled up into one box, with no guitar. According to my game guru (14 year old nephew) you can play the game w/o the guitar, but it's not as fun. That said, you can snag a wired guitar at walmart for $29 everyday.

[sigrist_2000]

the secret items ( it appears to be only 3 items...) will be ( acoording to their website ) available Nov 23 & Nov 24...hmmm

This is a terruble sale. I will not be at Walmart early BF morning, I will scroll in later and pick up what ever is left. I'm sure there will be alot.

[delphernina]

The only thing I was interested in were the $5 1-00% cotton character jammies, and dh said there was no way we were fighting WM for $5 jammies. I don't know, if after all our shopping is said and done I still have the energy, I'll run by WM and see if there are any pj's left. I'll sift through the leftovers, otherwise - like others - this will be my first year wm won't be my first stop.

Well that is really silly of them to make us wait until Thanksgiving day. We all are going to see thier ad and decide to go to other stores instead because the ad is so terrible. If they are waiting to give us 3 great sales they are making a big mistake. If I dont see something soon that makes me excited to go there I will head elsewhere.

[DramaQueenLucy]

I am already going other places walmart really upset me this year with its bully tatics...not to mention the horrible deals by Thanksgiving day my plans are made..heck last year I was already inline at BB...nope not waiting to see more crappy deals from walmart

[hwolf6330]

The only thing I seen of interest is the $30 video rockers. I am not sure if it will be my first stop to get those though.

[jwise182002]

I really like what they are having at WM! It's not great, but they have the things I was going for at the other stores and beat them by at least a dollar! Last year I didn't go to WM at all but this year I'm headed there first! Don't forget that WM usually has the better deals...they are still holding out the secret items!!! I think WM waited so long because they wanted to have the chance to beat everyone else. Stores usually wait till their ad is leaked and then they copycat them well this year WM took matters into their own hands!!! Way to go WM!!!!

I think most of the stores are having secret sales. No one has released what they will be. It is not just Wal-Mart.

[mcmc]

can I just say this I think there will be alot of them it won't be just five like that first weekend it will be more like in the double digits.

[samisma]

Thanks for this Brad. doesn't have anything i need/want but it's still good to be able to see it & plan.

[johjstc]

Yeah, but the ink is from China.

[darkcreole]

These folks better have a "secret" sale. I can see not going there at all. i've been looking for a good laptop deal. Saw one at Comp USA a while back that was better than these. Props to you Brad...not your fault their ad smells like I stepped in something. ***Please note: I reserve all right to remove foot from my mouth (after being washed) regarding how bad the sales are pending the "secret sales" ad that come up later***

Anyone know what brand the 8" portable DVD player is? My son wanted the Tyco Terrainiac and their listed price for BF is their current price. I was really bummed out by that as I really do not think it is worth $70.

The ad doesn't give a brand and I couldn't find any models that looked like that on their site. I'm guessing it's going to be one of the lesser brands like Venturer, ilo, Emerson, etc...

Thanks, I thought that might be how it was, since there was a guitar right next to it for 29 bucks. I heard from someone who said that all the songs from both games were not on this particular bundle. So it's just as well anyway. My brother already has one guitar and at CC they will have the PS2 bundle with a wireless controller for 60 bucks. Thanks again for your help.

[jadedmomof2]

Ehh..Kmart has secured me for both BF and Thanksgiving now, I like their deals better. At least, more of Kmart's deals are pertinent to me.

Not sure if a dollar is enough to make up for the ignorance and ill tempers at walmart, not to mention the crowds that I really won't be able to bear. I will always hit Walmart last since their blitz's always have lots no, LOTS of overstock and their doorbuster sales continue until they eventually run out of stock!
True, if I find a cheap laptop, I might hit Wal*Mart since Wal*Mart is closer than BB being 1.5 hrs away. I shop always at Wal*Mart for everything usually, but lately K-Mart has been drawing my business. Especially Halloween costumes the week before Halloween they were 40% off, then 50% off with a HUGE selection. Walmart had tons of the same ones (cheap looking) for $20+. I was tempted to tell everyone at Walmart to go to Kmart that were shopping for costumes! LOL

Sorry but since Sam Walton died, Wal*Mart, still saves me money on groceries, everything including customer service and morale has gone downhill. Not to mention the sneaky tactics they are trying to use .
