This may be the first time in Black Friday history that a company has leaked it's own Black Friday ads. Most stores would just let people buy these products blissfully unaware that they would all be on sale in a few weeks.
Maybe they don't care this year because the sales stink anyway
Also Walmart gotta make up for the losses and damages from last year
Retailers like Walmart, Costco, Target made record profits last year during the pandemic. They had shelves almost empty of grocery and household items, with people fighting to get hold of toilet papers.
Pandemic has taught retailers that people will pay any price if they feel that there's a shortage and they might need that item. This sale is an A/B testing of consumer behavior.

I hope they didn't order large quantities of these items for each store. I see a lot of these things just sitting in those big sale boxes clogging up the aisles.
It isn't just chip shortages. There are massive back ups all around with shipping containers - domestically and internationally. Membership clubs in my area started imposing item limits on toilet paper, kleenex, and paper towel again. There are lots of empty shelves or signs apologizing for lack of inventory in general at all kinds of places near me, too. When to two grocery stores yesterday and there were zero signs of strawberries - conventionally grown or organic. Not even signage where it "should be" by the other berries.
I think "Black November" sales this year will be largely because the supply chain won't support a month-long rush so hopefully a two months will be 'better'. I am not a doom and gloom type and we don't usually wait too long. If we know something resembling sales start in a couple weeks, we can knock out most of our list. Naturally our parents and such NEVER tell us anything. Is that generational? Seniors just never seemed to embrace "wishlists" in our circles.
Yep, people haven't been paying attention, and it's gonna take many by surprise. This affects every single consumer product. They can't resupply soda on the shelves. In America. Let alone furniture, electronics, cars, other food, household supplies, building supplies...
The Black Friday sales will be far fewer, higher priced, and the items will probably be determined by what they actually have stock of.
This year, Slickdealers shouldn't worry about finding bottom priced amazing deals, but finding what you want and finding it actually in stock. If there's something you're eying to get the kids for Christmas, I'd start looking now.
A bit off topic but somewhat related, where is the site to go to for BF ads? I remember urlhasbeenblocked was literally the name of one site but that appears to be gone now. I see a blackfriday.com but no scans of ads on there.
A part of me is pretty pessimistic on how good the sales will be this year, as others in this thread have mentioned the chip shortage. But there's probably the usual good deals on clothes and such, right?
Anyone know how to get a discount for the Walmart+ membership??
create a new walmart account,then use a different card to get a free 7day trial. They also extend the free trial to 30days if you answer a few questions right after signup.
