So after yesterday’s announcement regarding layaway and Walmart’s Black Friday items we’ve had a slew of questions. We’ve looked for further clarification and here is what we’ve found:
- If you have any items on Layaway and would like to receive the reduced price during the Black Friday sale the item(s) will need to be deleted from the Layaway account and added back to receive the event price (or price matched, whichever is lower).
- Layaway will be closed until 9am on Friday (11/23). Event prices for items sold during the first two sales events at 8pm 11/22 and 10pm 11/22 are only available while supplies last.
Here is the big loophole – Walmart’s Black Friday doorbuster deals are “available while supplies last,” which should mean that if you place the item on layaway now you can get the item for the Black Friday price on Friday morning when layaway re-opens. Also keep in mind that Walmart has amended this policy to state that only 3 event items will be allowed on layaway.
All in all I’d say this is a YMMV situation. I wouldn’t rely on this method 100% if you’ve really got your heart set on something, but it’s worth a shot. Personally, I’ll be shopping online and price matching like crazy next Friday – what’s your strategy?
(Thanks BFads!)
