This is such a game changer I am not sure we will know the impact of it for a long time! Walmart is basically starting BLACK FRIDAY this FRIDAY!!! November 22nd is looking like the day you will want to be in-front of the computer.
Many of those deals that you are going to try and get on Thanksgiving Thursday night and friday morning? Well, it is looking like Walmart plans on matching those Black Friday prices on 100 of those items this Friday!
It is my understanding that because this sale is not the actual Black Friday or Thanksgiving day sale that it is NOT excluded from the Christmas Ad Match Guarantee and you will be able to get gift cards for the difference if you have already bought any items that go on sale friday.
Examples of toys and electronics that are part of Walmart’s pre-Black Friday saving event, while supplies last, include:
Toys:
- LeapPad 2 – WAS: $79, NEW PRICE: $39.99
- Little Tikes Cozy Coupe – WAS: $49.87, NEW PRICE: $34.99
- Nerf Rebelle Crossbow – WAS: $19.88, NEW PRICE: $11.99
- Monopoly Board Game – WAS: $7.77, NEW PRICE: $5
- Hot Wheels Single Car – WAS: .97 cents, NEW PRICE: .60 cents
Electronics:
- LG 50-inch HDTV – WAS: $598, NEW PRICE: $448
- Skylanders and Infinity Starter Packs – WAS: $74.96, NEW PRICE: $37
- Select PS4 and Xbox One Video Games such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, NBA 2K14 and Battlefield 4 – WAS: $59.96, NEW PRICE: $49
You can watch Paul’s video below as he explains it:
“On Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday and any of their shopping trips, customers can take advantage of the everyday ad match policy* available at Walmart stores. If a customer spots a lower price on an advertised item, and comes into a Walmart store during the same day and time that the competitor’s ad is valid, Walmart will match the price at the register.”

Is this starting at midnight? Seriously, I need to get the leap pad 2 at that price!! :). Does the site to store free shipping apply?
It starts at 8am.
But any idea what this means for us folks in WI? Ad says prices not valid here. Do you know why?
No I am worried about you guys!
I sent a message to WalMart on FB and first they told me they would ‘ad match’ Black Friday ads. When I replied I was talking about THIS Friday and why it wasn’t valid in WI they told me to ‘contact my local store.’ I replied that the local store said that if the ad says not valid they will not honor the prices because it was a corporate issue. They did not respond any further. This is VERY frustrating. No one seems to be able to answer why WI is excluded.
No idea. I would try online.
i have been wondering the same .. im hoping we are still able to get the same deals online!!!
They are going to have more deals in the store.
This happened to me to and I went at 4 PM. Not only did my local walmart staff not know that there was a pre-black friday sale…they pretty much told me flat out that they were not in any way shape or form going to honor it after much digging to actually find the ad. I got all sorts of excuses about it being illegal in WI to sell things under retail. Then how do normal black friday sales work? Don’t they sell alot of stuff under retail?
Where did you get the list of items and prices? On Walmarts website it does not list some of these items in the pre black Friday sale items when you click the button to show the items. are more going to be listed?
The list came from the press release Walmart issued this morning. This is completely different then the pre-black friday sale they have going now. There will be 100 items on Friday morning.
Where can we find the complete list? And it starts 8am Friday morning in the stores right?
This is ALL they have released at this point. I promise I will post everything when I get it.
Thank you!!!
So if I bought 2 leap pads last weekend for $79 i can get a refund for $80?!
You could buy 2, then return them and rebuy them on Friday.
Does this mean they are pricing them automatically? or you will have to know what the price is to price match at the register?
They are not price matching anything on November 22nd. UNLESS you have the ad and the sale is currently going for the other store at that point. Which NO other stores are having a black friday sale. This sale on Friday November 22nd is Walmarts EARLY Black Friday sale, in which they are choosing the deals to match the price on.
So if I go put a skylander starter kit in layaway today and then pick it up pay in full Friday (22nd) I could get the $37 price?
I am not going to promise anything… but honestly there is nothing that says you cant and wont get that price. Make sure you get the one in the ad.
Of I put the leap pad in my cart online now and checkout on Friday will I be able to get the 39.99 price or will they empty my cart?
You can take that chance but it would scare me!
It says this sale is NOT valid online, yet all of you are talking about ordering online… it’s in store only people. AND not for me since I live in Wisconsin, So not fair.
Sorry that was confusing Jessica. The sale right now is online only, the sale on the 11/22 is both.
