Any Black Friday shoppers out there?

I've never gotten up to do the early bird specials on Black Friday but was thinking MAYBE I was going to try Walmart this year, but I don't get! They say "the sale" starts at 5am but they don't close the store down? So when should you go to put your stuff in your cart? Do you go 4am and shop then checkout at 5am, or do they not put stuff out till 5am, which would seem impossible? I'm so confused! Anybody that has done this before or knows the scoop on Walmart Black Friday please give me details!!! Thanks!

Ok I got the scoop! The store does NOT close. The sale starts at 5am. The items on sale are wrapped in plastic until 5am. So you can't get to them till 5am. But people do make lines at some items. So anyone brave enough for it theres the scoop!!

I have never done WalMart either. Jeff and I talked about that the other day? I do believe they close the store (to shoppers) for a certain amt of time to prepare for the sale, then open the doors at 5. I have heard of people camping out to get in line- that's funny! If you do this, please take a pic! ha But, you may want to check with WalMart on the time the doors open etc? I may be wrong...

I called Walmart and the lady I talked to said they don't close, but I had heard they did, so I'm really confused!! Or maybe she's confused!!

We've gone to Walmart the last couple of years - the way I understand it, they close from Midnight to 5am to get ready for the onslaught...its never been crazy when we've gone though. Last year, we got there at 7am, parked 5 spots from the front and had absolutely no issues finding what we wanted & checking out quickly. I think the horror stories are more for Evansville! The trampoline is definitely on my list this year!
