The link is not working for me. All I get is a blank page. Is this the same photo that is $29.99 7" frame on page 24 of the Kohl's BF ad? I'm not able to pull that one up online. Is it still on sale?

It's the one that is on page 36 of the BF specials...sale price is $44.99. Use the 20% promo code that I posted a few pages back AND you will get a $15 mail in rebate coupon. I was still able to pull it up like I'm going to buy it so they must still be in stock.

In the past, Walmart has only price matched the actually PRICE. They do not match gift cards or buy one, get one type of deals.

One other thing to be aware of for price match at Walmart. I called our store to make sure I coudl get some items to price match from the TRU ad at 10:00 since that is when the TRU doorbusters start. Because TRU is not all that close to here (it's within 20 miles though) AND they have two stores that are closer, they will NOT be matching the TRU ad. Not exactly what I thought or understood from the website. I would still consider that a "local" ad.

Hmmm... that's weird. I was able to get a price match yesterday at WM for a leapster game that Target had on sale. The closest Target to us is over 45 miles away.

Is there a Walmart near that Target? that was part of what they said. There are Walmarts closer to the TRU than ours so this one wouldn't do it. I found it odd and was pretty bummed. BUT I am really glad I called to ask first!

As it is, I got the two DS games I wanted from TRU on Amazon and just paid a little more...about $2.00 all told. And way cheaper than I could have gotten them on TRU.com because I got free shipping.

 

[brockash]

Yeah there are a few Walmarts in the same city as the Target. I didn't ask anyone though, I just went to the cashier and showed her the Target ad, and she did the price adjustment without any problems, but maybe she wasn't supposed to I'm glad you got what you wanted though.

Thanks for this! I just got one. Also found a code for free shipping, no minimum, contactfr. My total with tax was 37.97. Minus the $15 rebate and it will be $22.97. That is better than any of the doorbuster prices I've seen and this has better reviews than the Coby one advertised everywhere!

THANKS AGAIN!

I believe it's midnight PST, so if you're EST, that's 3am.

oh jeez> what is weird is I just made my poor hubby get out of bed and go up to the store to buy it since I couldn't find it online. He said he couldn't find it a clerk said the only ones they ever had were the ones in sporting goods for reg. price. Unless the things blew out the door right at 12 am. I thought I was really ready with a plan, but this is so frustrating. He can't get anyone to help him, it's crazy there...and they don't have what they said they would in the ad. ALso the online store map isn't helpful at all.....it only had the tvs mapped out...doesn't tell me wher a trampoline would be. Crazy.

 

[talulabelle]

what time zone does Target start online? 4am Eastern, central, or pacific?

 

[eduk8r26]

Target's are online now. I'm in Arizona, MST, and I just ordered something from the Black Friday ad at about 11 PM and got the sale price. However, not everything is available online. I checked with the Walmart add, and it doesn't give the BF price when you go to check out, so it must be a different time zone.

DD and I are off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish us luck

 

[talulabelle]

DH found the trampoline in the store! it was in the garden area. Yay! I got everything else I wanted online at target. Only thing I forgot was the rubbermaid storage bins at walmart. I'm so bummed, since I hadn't planned to go to the store, and planned to do all online I didn't have them written on my list. After Dh got home with trampoline I realized that he had been right there and could have picked them up for me!!! Urg! Oh well...any chance they will have any left this morning you think?

Around 3:06am I got the $196 LCD tv and the $69 blueray from walmart online. Did some Old Navy online right after got 10 tops for $5 each. Hit the GAP at 4am near my housewas really dissapointed. I should know better with the gap by now, things were cheaper online. Went to Target which was dead at that point around 5:15. Spoke to the SA they had 25 of the 42 inch LCD tv's they were gone in ten minutes, he said it was like a tornado when the doors opened. Got some DVD's, crock pot, towels. Also got some things on line at the Disney store online early thursday. Thanks everyone for all the information!!

‎2 hours standing outside of Toys R Us....cold & wet.
5 hours trapped in Walmart's Aisle 6 (Juice Boxes)....painful.
Seeing your kids light up on Christmas morning....Priceless

Target and Walmart done and home by 6:15 am and can hear DD waking up in her crib. I feel like I have had a full day already and it hasn't even started!

Went out with my mom like we do every year and it wasn't too bad. The tv's were gone at Target by 4:05. We got some toys and movies and the electric toothbrush that DH wants for Christmas (they only had 3. Who knew that hygiene was so hot this Black Friday? ) Trying to get back up through electronics was like a salmon trying to swim upstream. yikes! Got out of there in about 45 minutes and then went to Walmart, which again wasn't too bad. Very manageable. Glad it's done though. I am on Amazon now though getting some DVD's that I couldn't get at Walmart. Those bins were pretty picked through.

Happy Black Friday!!!!

Not too exciting for us this morning. Had to wake up at 0300 to order the basketball hoop on walmart.com. That sold out in minutes. I was lucky to get it. dd and I headed to Penneys and got the snowglobes and watches on sale. Walked in and out of target. Nothing really interested us. Spent some time and money in Old Navy. Walked in and out of kmart. Not going to stand in that line for a christmas blowup, so we went over to Lowes and I bought some lights and a blowup there for the yard. Now we are home.
