IMHO~Walmart and every other retailer should be closed on Tgiving day! I was a nurse for 30+ years, I worked many holidays. As do police, emt's, firefighters and the like. But, we know that going in.

Retail is not a necessity on a holiday. Family and friends, helping out the poor, or those who are ill is much more important!

i wish all these companies would stop being so d@€£ greedy. Isn't a 600-1000% mark up enough!

The same could be said about QVC & the other TV shopping channels. I personally don't care what stores are doing business on Thanksgiving Day.

I am sure there are people who are glad to have this information that otherwise may not be able to afford an expensive appliance. This is clearly an act of kindness to post this and really there is only one gracious response.

Thank You !

GOOD point !!

Years ago I was in the hardware store business. The customers at that time said NO WAY will we EVER buy tools made in CHINA or Japan. Remember made in USA ? :-(

Years ago we all bought LOCAL there was NO Amazon, no internet sales

People CHANGE....NOT ALWAYS for the good :-(

In my city.......miles and miles of closed factories, closed retail business fronts.

GREED......in the end wins :-(

I'm not interested in a pressure cooker, but that price is apparently one screamin' good buy, so allow me to add my most gracious THANK YOU for posting the news that one retailer is offering a very NONGREEDY price to anyone who wants to go get one.

Not everyone wants to, needs to, or even can celebrate Thanksgiving the way many others do. If they want to shop, more power to them. Also, I always remind myself that the folks who often work in those restaurants and stores on major holidays might want to work because they need the extra money. A holiday of leisure is no fun when your family doesn't have enough income to spend the day feasting on food.

Nor do all those employees hail from the country and cultural background that tends to value the history behind the first Thanksgiving. It's just another day to them.

Yep, no links or coupon codes, but, you never know. Just thought I'd share a good deal. I'm not getting out that day. Haha to much traffic . I'm afraid I would get run over. Haha

One of my favorite stores is opening at 2PM on Thanksgiving. That's dinner time for some people. Lowers my opinion, 6PM was bad enough. Why even bother closing?

Everybody afraid they'll lose a nickel.

@Sylanne~I agree with you about the tv shopping channels. IMHO, they too should be closed on Thanksgiving Day. For me, it's not the business. It's about the hundreds of employees being pulled in to work. It's a day for family and charity & not for work.

@tiny 2~Please understand, I'm not disagreeing or about the OP's info regarding the sale. We all want to save money.

I personally am looking for a tv from two major B/M retailers. If I purchase one...it will be online. We are all (for the most part) computer savvy or, we wouldn't be here. The advantages of modern technology give us that conveinance.

My thoughts are for the gradual loss of respect of this important holiday that celebrates our past as a country, our families and, charity.

When I was young stores weren't even open on Sunday.

Then when the grocery stores started opening after church, they only sold food products.

There would be ropes around certain areas that you couldn't buy.

The good old days

Hi sister!

Yes, the butcher dept, bakery and deli was always closed. Unions forbid working on Sunday. Then in about 1972 they would cut meat the day before, and there would be cut meat wrapped and for sale on Sunday in a case. That was so handy! Not much, a few steaks, chops and a chicken or two. Hardly anything was open on Sunday when i was a kid. And I lived in California!
