WalMart Black Friday Ad

Walmart's Black Friday Ad has, of course, been leaked again this year. And the lawyers have been out getting people to take down WalMart's black friday ads....something that is not traditional and is new for this year's holiday season.

However, the leak means trhat we do already know what the bargains at WalMart are going to be. The black friday ads themselves might be copyright, but the information in them isn't. So here's at least some of what WalMart will be offering as sales items on Black Friday:

And here's what to expect: A Hewlett-Packard Pavilion ze2308wm notebook computer for $398; an HP Photosmart E317 digital camera for $98.88; a Lexmark all-in-one printer, scanner and copier for $39.88; and a 12-cup coffeemaker, food chopper or 2 qt. slow cooker for just $4.24.

Typically Wal-Mart and other retailers debut the eagerly awaited day-after-Thanksgiving specials a few days in advance. Wal-Mart hasn't officially debuted its Black Friday ads, but the information appears to have been leaked to a few Web sites.

"Last year, Wal-Mart didn't discount heavily on Black Friday and the first week after. What happened? Comparable sales fell 3 percent," said Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst with market research firm NPD Group. "This year, Wal-Mart's making sure that it's not caught with pants down again. I'm shocked to see how low Wal-Mart is prepared to go this year."

Worries about consumer spending this holiday season have actually led to companies bringing forward many of thir special offers from black friday to weeks before it. If you're going to spend money thei year, they want to know that you're going to spend it with them.
