Heads up! As I mention previously, Walmart stores across the country and Walmart.com will be offering up Black Friday-Like prices on popular toys, electronics, and more one week early. Well, this Pre-Black Friday sale was supposed to start tomorrow, but apparently prices are already ringing up at the reduced prices NOW (it appears just in-store and not online)! I have received several emails from readers and even had my friend who lives in Florida go test at her local Walmart and the prices are ringing up at the Pre-Black Friday advertised prices found here! 😀

Check out the email I received from reader, Tiffany:

Hey!! I just left Walmart and tomorrow’s Pre-Black Friday prices are already active!! My general manager told me Walmart turned them on early and to sell away! I got a leapPad 2 $39.99, game $15 and found a gel skin for $3 on clearance! SCORE!

* IMPORTANT NOTE – be sure to price check items if they are not marked!

Here are some of the toys and electronics that are part of Walmart’s Pre-Black Friday Saving Event (only while supplies last!):

LeapPad 2 $39.99 (was $79)
Play-Doh 4-pack $1 (was $2.96)


Little Tikes Cozy Coupe $34.99
(was $49.87)

Select Board Games only $5 (including Monopoly and more!)
Nerf Rebelle Crossbow $11.99 (was $19.88)
LG 50-inch HDTV $448 (was $598)


Skylanders & Disney Infinity Starter Packs only $37 (was $74.96!)

    This happens every year whether people are aware or not! Last year we were traveling on thanksgiving and stopped at walmart where the store was COMPLETELY empty. All the Black Friday stuff that was not scheduled to start until Midnight was actually ringing up at lunch time.! And we had the whole store to ourselves!

    Would Target price match? I have never done it before….

    • Charlotte

      Contact your local Target. Mine would not, claiming it was a “one day sale”. But other have price matched this ad already.

      • Katrina

        It’s actually a six-day sale. The ad has the dates listed on the back page. MH picked up two Leap Pads and a game tonight at WM, but I’d like to price match at Target anyway. They have a friendlier return policy and I can use my Red Card for five percent off.

    If anyone in the Minneapolis, mn area is in need of a disney infinity starter pack for the xbox…i’d be glad to sell mine (brand new) for the same price $37.00. Email me if interested 🙂

    • Teri

      Can I ask why you are selling? I’m not in the area but wanted to purchase one. I was excited to see this deal and was heading out in the morning.

      • michelle

        I bought the infinity, but my son apparently wants swap force. I bought both. Be glad to sell it. Brand new.

  4. Tomoko

    I just came back from WM to get a Skylanders. I went to look for a XBOX but all sold out. So I went for Playstation 3 and 4. After they found out the price had already changed they quickly took all the Skylanders games off the self.They said it’s not supposed to be $37 yet. Luckily they let me have it for $37 🙂

  5. Charlotte

    If you’re in the market for the LeapPad 2 Explorer, please check online before you head to your store. The stores in my area no longer carry this item, only the Power and Ultra.

    • Sarah

      Mine had the Leappad 2, but only in green. I’m thinking the pink must only be available online. Wonder if the prices will be live before 8 a.m.?

      • Rachel

        I found a pink one behind 4 greens!

  6. Melissa

    Just snagged a Disney infinity game pack for $37! Thanks Hip2Save!

  7. Michelle

    Thank you sooo much!! Because of your text I was able to get Skylanders for my son without having to rush out tomorrow! This was the main BF deal I wanted and now a huge weight is off me! I also got the Rebelle crossbow for my daughter. There were only two left so I wouldn’t have gotten one if I tried tomorrow. Hip2Save is my Christmas shopping hero!!

  8. karie811

    I sent hubby out to Walmart right away after Collin posted this. We wanted a pink LeapPad 2 for our daughter. As he was asking a sales associate if they had any pink ones, another sales associate on break grabbed the last green one off the shelf! Green was not our first color choice, but we would have taken it. The girl helping him said that she didn’t think there was anymore of either color in the back, but that she would go check. She took awhile to come back, so he thought it was going to be bad news, but she actually found a pink one in the back! Yay! 🙂

    • Charlotte

      Lucky! 😀 None of the stores here carry them anymore. 🙁

    • Jai

      Can always get a pink cover for it:)

  9. Jen

    Thank you SO MUCH Collin! Just got Swap Force and Disney Infinity for my kiddos for $37 each and I could not be more thrilled. You are the best and thanks to you there is one happy mama of 4 in upstate NY tonight!

  10. Miriam

    I was able to get Skylanders tonight! Woohoo! Thanks, Collin!

  11. Ako

    Thank you for posting these deals. My 4.5y/o daughter is so crazy with the Skylanders and I sent hubby to the store just now, he found one for the xbox 360 (skylanders swap force) price marked down to $59 or $59.99 so hubby asked an employee if their store allowing now the pre-black friday deals, the employee told him they will start tomorrow (Friday) and that can be order online for store pick up and gave him a code/item no. and when I typed it was a different skylanders (giants) instead for $35. I immediately checked the toysrus online price and already on sale for $59.99 (Reg. $74.99) . I placed an order, can’t beat the price for $35 free store pick up :). Again, thanks.

    • Samantha

      do you have the code or item #?

      • Ako

        Yes, we know they are different starter packs, but Walmart price of $35 still way cheaper compare to toysrus on sale now for $59.99 for the same giants starter pack.

        047875843929, I just typed these #s to the search bar of Walmart online site

    • debra

      Skylanders Giants is not the same game as Skylanders Swapforce. Giants came last Christmas.

      • Ako

        Yes, we know they’re not the same starter packs of Skylanders. but for the price of $35 for the giants SP @ Walmart, way cheaper compare the toysrus price of $59.99 (reg. price $74.99) for the same SL Giants SP. I can’t wait to see my daughter’s reaction on Christmas Day.

  12. Kelly

    Turns out Wisconsin is the only state not participating…. So frustrating!

    • shannon

      Which one did u got to? Racine is not ringing on sale yet. Debating whether to go to kenosha or not.

      • Cammie

        I went to the one in Mukwonago.

      • Kelly

        There is some very old law that prevents all of Wisconsin from participating… My store said they will have a notice on all the registers about it tomorrow…

        • Cammie

          Gotta love the “old laws” of Wisconsin. 🙂

      • Marie

        Gurnee or Antioch aren’t too far if the item(s) you want are worth a few extra dollars in gas….

    • Cammie

      Very frustrating. I just went to my Walmart in SE WI and nothing was on sale yet.

    • Jessie

      Kelly, not participating in running the deals early?

      • Kelly

        They said WI will not be participating in this pre Black Friday sale at all due an old law.

      • Jackie

        WI is not able to have The prices as advertised…it’s illegal BC they are below cost

    • Heather

      On one of the ads it said not valid in Wisconsin.

    • Latoya

      why aren’t they participating?……I am in Milwaukee?

  13. Andrea

    I just went to my near by walmart and got the wii u disney infinity started pack. I called walmart before going and they told me they did not have amy at all, still decides to drive and got it!!!

  14. christyl

  16. Sarah

    I got the Disney Princess Little People Castle for $24.99 less the $10 coupon, $14.99!!!! And 4 packs of the 4 pack play-dohs for $1 each.

    • Natalie

      Is the coupon still available? I thought me getting it for $24.99 at target with coupon was a good price but we are tight on money so this would help!

  17. Christine

    I got my deal yaaa no black Friday this year!

  18. Kt

    Does anyone know when exactly the prices drop online if they even do? Our Wal-Mart doesn’t carry much of anything…

  19. Lisa

    What time does the online sale start??? What time zone??

  20. At6223

    Just got back from my walmart, the sale signs were already up! Almost everything was still in stock. I picked up the leapster explorer for $29 for my nephew. Thanks hip2save!

  21. Bethany

    Does anyone know if the nabi 2 is included in this deal?

  22. Jaime

    • Julie

      I’m Middletown, OH too! 🙂 And right below your comment…Small world.

      • Heather h

        I am on my way there now!!!! Thank you…

        • Heather h

          Walmart bridgewater falls didn’t have the one for Xbox 360….but had the games and play doh…..went to Middletown and they had it for xbox….but no play doh…neither had the bop it!!!

  23. Julie

    Thank you for posting this…my husband is at Walmart getting the Infinity and SF now, and with the savings of the game, he’s price matching Toys R Us on the individual ones. We’ll get 5 of each for the same price as the original price of the starter pack!

    • Sportmom3

      How much are the individuals at toys r us..

      • Julie

        The SF are 3/$35 and the Infinity are 3/$30.

  24. Stephanie

    so will target not price match these Walmart deals because they are considered black Friday prices?

  25. Ashdon

    Picked up Skylanders for $30 after $10 off coupon, thank you soooo much!!!!!

    • Ann

      Where did you get the $10 off Skylanders coupon?

      • Anna Harmon

        looks like there are some frito lay 20 ct packs that had them in there

        • Ann

          Thank you!

    • Picchu

    • annad

      No its not

      • Erin

        Thank you for the info!

    • Sarah

      Get a pack (at Costco if you have one) of rechargeable batteries. $25 for 8 AA, 4 AAA and a wall charger. It will save you in the long run cuz’ the LP sucks the life out of the batteries fairly quickly. They also have an adaptor for when you’re near an outlet:)

  35. Amy

    Where did people find the $10 off little people coupon?

    • Anna Harmon

      was on the fischer price website a couple of weeks ago.

  41. Ape

    $15 gift card? We bought two leap pads and my husband didn’t get a gift card. What’s up with that?

  42. elizabeth

    The weather here isnt great so walmart was pretty empty. There was tons of stuff left and they were still hanging up tags in the toy department. There was a skylanders display right when we walked in and a huge leappad display on the way to toys, plenty of both left

  50. Michelle

    Is anyone not seeing the Leappad2’s in stock in their stores online, but then finding them in stores? I am wondering if I should drive out and see if my WMs have them! Thanks!

    • annad

      I called and had my store hold it till I got there
