Wow, it’s been a while and needing some updates..  I got a lot to cover, so meaning it’s Check-out, lets get into the Express lane for some simple and quick updates.

Last week you local Walmart store overhauled their PC selection. Depending on your local store Netbooks from $298, Laptops from $348 and Desktops from $298 all with Windows 7.  Some stores have live units out on demo with an expanded in-store selection.  Online we carry over 250 PC’s, click here for more information .

It’s Tax time! Stop in, or shop online for Tax software, PC’s & accessories Click Here for more information.

Earth Month (April) is right around the corner. I don’t know what its like where you live, but in the Bay Area the local power company is installing smart meters. I’ll be able to login online and look at my power consumption by hour, day and month to look at lowering it. Check out this article that was in the San Jose Mercury News the other day. It speaks to power consumption in electronics.

Snow, Ice and rain this season and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop. Make sure you prepared with pre-made kits or make your own. Check these out online  or stop by in your local store for one. You can always make your own, by starting off with a backpack and then filling it up with a Basic First Aid Kit, Granola Bars, Bottled Waters, Multi-tool, Duct Tape, Flashlights, batteries, blanket(s) and more. Just make sure to mark the dates and rotate the food/water supply.

Value of the day is continuing for Walmart.com. Click here and save it to check out daily.

I’m going to look at doing this quick style post more often. If there’s something you want to see covered, let us know by posting a question, comment or concern.

 Thanks

This is it... Only 12 days (or less) left before Christmas. Still got time to buy online from walmart.com.  

We've made it easier for you this year to insure the item(s) your buying will/can arrive on time. Here's an example of the table you'll see while shopping.

How much shopping did you do online this year?

Ok, so I have seen a bunch of questions out in the blog world asking if Walmart is REALLY offering a $50 gift card with the purchase of XBOX360 Elite. The answer is YES. And I've heard some of your concerns about games not being restocked that are on our $40 and $50 list, and let me assure you we are working on improving that.

This week's Wii offer was one way we are trying to help our customers this holiday season. The values just don't stop there...starting this Sunday you will be able to get a $50 gift card with the purchase of the Xbox 360 Elite. This offer will be valid Dec 13-19, 2009. Just one more way my team is trying to help our customers Save Monday so they can Live Better. Don't forget to check out the Rollbacks on video game software when you are in the store.  

Even in these economic times, we see how important it is for Santa, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, husbands, wives, boyfriends, and girlfriends to be able to give the perfect gift. We also know that A LOT of wish lists today -- for all ages -- include a range of video games. Then there are some that have been waiting patiently on getting their Wii -- waiting on the right deal and the right time. Well, this weekend we're planning to make a little "Wii History" ...so to speak.

Starting this Saturday, our stores will be offering a $50 gift card with the purchase of the $199 Nintendo Wii.  (Yes, the gift card right can be used right away on the next purchase.)  On top of that…all month thru Christmas Eve we've rolled back the prices on many top 2009 games. So not only can you buy a Wii and get a $50 gift card…you can use that card immediately to purchase games like Madden 2010, Tiger PGA 2010 (my husband’s favorite), Lego Rock Band (my boys favorite), Rock Band Beatles (Grandpa’s favorite) and many more for less.

We've been planning for this event for some time, and the gaming team here is really excited about it.  We've selected a range of top games in 2009 to Rollback the prices on for the holiday season, and not just Wii, great games for PS3 and 360 as well.  One of my personal favorites is Tekken 6, on both PS3 and 360.  Halo: ODST will be only $50.  While I can't list them all, I assure you there are some SUPER surprises in stores -- games you may love to be surprised to see are included!  We love giving happy surprises this time of year!
