Do you know how Walmart is going to “police” the midnight sale? Are they going to have the advertised items in special locations and have them roped off until Midnight or something like that? I’m wondering how they are going to keep people from going in at, say 10PM and loading up their carts with all the things they want and waiting until Midnight to check out. It would seem like a hard thing to try to keep people from picking things up early b/c these items are normally located all over the store. I’m just wondering how early in the evening I will need to get there in order to get the items I am looking for if they aren’t going to restrict people before the sale.
I am not sure on that. Last year they had everything roped off. You could have loaded up your cart but you paid regular price unless you waited and got one that was given out AFTER midnight. I will email around and see what I can come up with.
Is the $50 gift card on the Wii included in the $199 price? Or is the net price $149 after the gift card? I couldn’t find the gift card info on their ad. Also, there is a $20 off Wii coupon in the Target ad do you think they would take it? Thanks!
Thanks so much. I actually asked a Walmart associate last night, but all she said was that things may or may not be placed in special places around the store…I guess she really didn’t know.
