Walmart has just released their Black Friday Store Maps! What this means is you can plan your trip by knowing when and where the hot key items are going to be in your own store. It also gives you an advantage to get those deals and scout out other Walmart Black Friday deals that are on your list too.

You will need to make sure your local Walmart store is selected when getting your store map. In previous years some Walmart stores have had these given out at the door for those early shoppers but don’t wait and hope for those.Hot Ticket Items like the Beats Pill, Nabi Tablet, and more will have specific locations to be handed out. You can tell where these items will be by the maps AND there should be balloons at each location as well.

Every store will vary where their deals are located but here is an example of the maps you will see for your store. Look for the items you’re wanting and then find the number balloon on the map that matches.  This year they are giving out wristbands for the popular ticket items starting on Thanksgiving at 6pm and 8pm. Get there EARLY if you’re wanting one of these items, you can line up TWO hours before each event starts. After you have been given a wristband you can then go stand in another line or go get your other shopping done. Just make sure you come back within that 2 hour time frame to pick up your item or you lose it. To pick-up your item, just go back to the location where you got your wristband and the associate for that area will take your wristband and give you your item to purchase.

In summary, here’s the best way to work those hot Walmart Early Events and Black Friday Deals:

• Print/Access your Walmart Black Friday Store
• Stand in your Hot Item line starting 2 hours before the deal goes live
• Receive your wristband
• Come back within the 2 hour time frame to receive your item
• Checkout
