Small detail that I'm mentioning because the whole "stores open on Thanksgiving day" seems to be a big deal this year: Meijer doesn't open at 6:00 am, the sales in the ad starts at 6:00 am. It's a 24 hour store that is open 364 days out of the year. (Closed Christmas day.)

Thanks - good to know info. We don't have this store in my neck of the woods.

Mine either. What kind of a store is it?

There's a description of the store in post 119.

Meijer, Inc. (/ˈmaɪ.ər/) is a regional American hypermarket chain with its corporate headquarters in Walker, Michigan, in the Grand Rapids metropolitan area; the facility has a Grand Rapids, Michigan address. Founded in 1934 as a supermarket chain, Meijer is credited with pioneering the modern supercenter concept in 1962. About half of the company's 200 stores are located in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, with additional locations in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Kentucky. Meijer has no affiliation with Fred Meyer.

So essentially a giant grocery store.

...plus department store. It's like a Walmart Supercenter.

That was my thoughts when I read the description

I don't know what the difference is between a Walmart and a Walmart supercenter, -- I don't shop in either -- but Meijer is a full grocery store (with a bakery, meat counter, deli, and pharmacy) as well as a nicer -- consistently good quality -- discount department store. They have gas stations too. You really can get everything you need there. Their slogan used to be (and might still be) "One Stop Shopping."

(My issue with Walmart is that I am always eventually unhappy with what I bought there, so much so that I actively avoid them to go to Target or Meijer instead. Just my own preference, but I don't know what the distinctions are between the different kinds of Walmarts or even if they are actually all the same.)

A Walmart Supercenter has a full service grocery store. A Walmart has some groceries.

This deal is still active. Will we see better pricing on Black Friday? Hard to say.

Staples will be selling the Paperwhite for $99 and the Kindle 7 for $49 on Black Friday.
