All indications are that Walmart will jump out ahead of other retailers having early sales in november....but expect Sears, Target, Best Buy to do very similar things........


also expect at least one major retailer to host a countdown type sale with daily specials until christmas, another is planning an hour by hour sale, with a doorbuster item to offer each hour of black friday....

Watch out for a bluray player to pop up at around 75.......dvd recorder at 75.......slr camera at 400..and netbook at 129.000

Numerous walmart workers are reporting they will be using ticket systems this year similar to the best buy system to enhance security.......

This is great! I missed Black Friday last year, due to being at Disney (now that is a tough one, Black Friday or Disney, my two favorite things - other than DH & DD of course!)

We can't wait! It is one of our favorite days of the year.

I'm not familiar with this... can you tell me?

You get in line ASAP. And they start handing out tickets for the "limited big discount items" Like laptops, tv's ect. That way it's not a shoving match. If you have a ticket you get one.
However, you have to stay in line at most places. So depending on when they hand out tickets. (Staples last year did it one hour before open other do it closer to midnight)

Now the stores I have been to with this system have those "ticket items" behind the customer service desk. I don't know how Walmart would handle that?

Thank you! I think I prefer this process. Last year I was pregnant on Black Friday but that did not stop people from pushing me around in the mad rush. One man took pity on me and made way for me so I could get a leapster. It was madness. It was my first year at a Black Friday sale but I was grateful because Santa was a winner even though times were tough. Thanks for the info!

We were in Disney too! I remember waking up and getting something online while everyone was sleeping, went back to bed and got up to go to the park!

I'd love a BF sale at the Apple store. DS could use a new laptop for college. I don't think our store has ever had a BF sale.

I know they had some online deals last year...I bought DD's ipod without having to leave the house.

I was pregnant last Black Friday, too. I woke up at 3am, and it was pouring down rain. I got on the computer, ordered everything I wanted through Walmart's site, and went back to bed! I think I had it all at my house by the end of the next week!
