Walmart Black Friday 2017: 10 Things to Know

No More Walmart Black Friday Wristbands

For the past several years Walmart Black Friday handed out wristbands for hot items, allowing you to make sure you had one and not waste time in a line for something that might be out of sock. 

The Walmart Black Friday plans no longer include wristbands. We've seen the retailer make a bigger focus each year on having items in stock for shoppers without catches or special plans and this may have something to do with that. 

If you relied on wristbands, make sure you study the map and adjust your plans for 2017.
