Holiday shopping, and even Black Friday Shopping isn’t what it used to be. Years ago, you had to be there, in the stores to get the best deals, but now, with the internet, that may not be the case. At least, it isn’t with Walmart. This year, there are even more ways to shop, and save money, with Walmart.
Here are just a few ways you can shop at Walmart this holiday season.
Obviously, in store is probably one of the biggest ways. Black Friday weekend will have special deals running starting Thursday evening, and going throughout the weekend.

Checkout Promise
Walmart is planning to open more checkout lanes than ever before — when YOU are shopping most. They’re calling it the Checkout Promise.
They know that the weekends between Black Friday and Christmas are some of the busiest weekends for their customers and in our stores.
Beginning the weekend of November 22 and continuing each weekend through Christmas they plan to open more checkout lanes than ever between 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. (during peak shopping hours) at the Supercenters and other stores that offer general merchandise like electronics, apparel and toys. They’ll open additional lanes the day before Thanksgiving, November 26th and during the final days before Christmas, December 20th – 24th, to help customers move through the stores quickly.

Saving Catcher Expansion and New Mobile Feature
Timed for Thanksgiving meal planning, Walmart is expanding Savings Catcher to bring even more savings to the kitchen. Beginning Nov. 2, holiday turkey and ham will be eligible for Savings Catcher, giving families confidence that they’re getting a great price on these holiday meal essentials.
In addition, Walmart has rolled out another new feature within its mobile app. With “Search My Store,” customers can search for nearly any item carried in a Walmart store and see the item’s availability at that store, its aisle location, ratings and reviews.
“Search My Store” is currently available on Android devices and expands to iPhones by mid-November.
