In response to buying black friday items online- I have purchased items from toysrus.com before, during, and after the black friday sale at the black friday price. If course the "big ticket" items sell out fast online, as they do in the stores. I have NEVER had a problem purchasing items. If they are out of stock there is also a comment saying that this item is temporarily unavailable for purchase. It is a great service that the retailer even offers items at the reduced prices online, and usually extend it beyond the in store ad time. I know this has saved me A LOT of money this Christmas!! Also, Walmart does price match items from other ads, I know because I have done it with quite a few items. The items they offer are usually not found at other retail stores, but the common items other stores carry, Walmart will honor the price match policy.
