I bought a Wiifit at Walmart woohoo!
Never give up is what I say! After my miss at the local Super Walmart, I came home to write my last post and decided to see if there were other Walmart Super Centers in the general area.
Though they were not close by, one was definitely within driving distance less than 20 minutes so I called their electronic department and spoke with the gal there. *Drum roll* She tells me happily, “YES, we still have about 6 units left!” She also said that the mad rush settled down around 12:40am. Their store apparently had gotten in more wiifit units (about 40), I guess it depends on location!
I was so elated that I nearly flew down there in my car and ran inside from the parking lot. I was beaming with a big smile, VICTORY at last!
When I was inside waiting to be rung up, I used their computer in the store to look up another location for a walmart super center and found one that was way further north, probably about 20 more minutes from where I was. I put their phone number into my cell and once I got my unit and back into the car, I called that walmart to see if they still had units.
*another drum roll*
Yes they had about 4 left!
This was another brand new super walmart and was not found in my gps so I had to call back to ask for directions and adjacent roads so I could map it out. I hardly drive up north so I was unfamiliar with the area.
It’s so funny because I was on such an adrenaline rush, like I am on some secret mission to locate a most valuable item….which I think Wiifit may just be.
I made it up there and got my game, I knew I’d get it somehow, just wasn’t sure how many stores I’d have to go to! So I have secured one for me and one for my sister in law!!
She even said she would pay for my unit as a birthday gift to me in June! Woohoo, I’m scoring left and right!
It’s now just after 4am, the other walmart opens at 7…haha I’m debating on whether I want to try so early or just go to target and the other stores a little later. I wonder how many I can actually buy or end up buying.
They limit one per person at each store, if I had someone with me, I wouldn’t have had to drive to the store way up north but no big deal, I am happy and maybe I’ll turn a small profit but I probably wasted enough gas driving all over town to just break even.
I’m too tired to go set up the wiifit now but tomorrow definitely! Don’t give up, try another super walmart and see how lucky you could be. Incidentally, on the drive back, I think it was a full moon outside. Thank god it was night time and no rush hour traffic, just open road, music, and my happy face! Good luck to everyone else on their quest for a wiifit! Regular Walmarts open at 7am!
