Here's another article from Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart has already started slashing prices on toys for the holiday season. Two whole weeks before the traditional day after Thanksgiving kick-off. Read about it here.
Notice the absurdly low prices they are charging for some hot toys. It seems unlikely that they are paying the normal wholesale price.
This seems like as good a time as any to offer the following bit of snarkiness from the Onion. Enjoy, Wal-Mart shoppers.
