BENTONVILLE, Ark. (Dec. 11, 2014) – This Saturday’s date is 12/13/14, the last number-sequential date this century. To celebrate, Walmart is kicking off a sequence of savings this weekend with new, lower prices on hundreds of items in stores. The retailer is also unveiling a one-day free shipping promotion on Dec. 11 and releasing its holiday shipping cutoff times including shipping options up until Dec. 23.
According to The National Retail Federation, less than 10 percent of Americans complete their Christmas shopping lists by December. To serve customers in the last weeks before Christmas, Walmart’s hundreds of new savings will last through the holiday. The majority of Walmart stores are also open 24 hours a day and up until 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve, offering customers ample time to purchase these new deals.
“Gift buying no longer happens on just one day or in just one way. We’re seeing more customers shopping across the season while visiting both our store and online aisles,” said Scott McCall, senior vice president of toys and seasonal merchandising, Walmart U.S. “There is a lot more shopping to do and that’s why we’re lowering even more prices. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Our customers can be confident that there is no other place to shop this December – whether they choose to shop today, next week or on Christmas Eve.”
