Walmart Will Continue Its Holiday Deals After Christmas
Reuters reports that Walmart will continue its holiday deals and discounts after Christmas.
Beginning Dec. 26, Wal-Mart will offer clearance discounts of up to 50 percent on many home holiday items and toys, besides introducing a $50 gift card with an Xbox 360 purchase and offering an eMachine netbook for $228.
Wal-Mart has already rolled out aggressive price cuts ahead of the 2009 holiday season. It is offering more than 100 toys for $10 each, and it has cut prices on highly anticipated hardcover books by 60 percent or more, igniting a price-cutting war.
On Wednesday, the company said it will also extend other previously announced deals such as its selection of top Blu-ray movies for under $20.
It isn't surprising to see Walmart continuing its discounts past the holidays. The post Christmas period has always been a time of sales and discounts. What has been unusual the past couple years have been the big December sales.
