Black Friday is a more exciting holiday to many than Thanksgiving. In fact, some view Thanksgiving as just the day they have to get through in order to scoop up bargains in the wee morning hours on Black Friday. Walmart is an extremely popular black Friday destination. They have several doorbusters that are worth getting there early to check out. The Xbox 360 4GB video game system is on sale for $199 and the PlayStation 3 160GB video game system is $299. Both come with an unspecified bonus item. You can scoop up a Nintendo DS Lite for $89 or a Nintendo Wii limited edition console value bundle in red for $249. There are some savings to be had here, but most wouldn't consider it great enough to be marked as a door buster item. For example, the Nintendo DS lite is usually available at Walmart for $99. A savings of ten dollars may not be worth getting up so early and fighting the crowds. The Apple iPod Touch 8GB is a doorbuster item priced at $225. These are currently for sale at Walmart for $204. The difference is that the Black Friday door buster price includes a $50 gift card, which brings the price down quite a bit. The Philips 7" Portable DVD Player is a good deal at $49, as is the Philips ViBe 4GB MP3 video player for $29. Phillips clip-on ear buds are on sale for $5. Several televisions are doorbuster deals, including the Samsung 46" LED HDTV for $899, which is a savings of around $300. Ten TVs are marked as doorbusters. The savings range from around one hundred bucks off normal price to several hundred off. Computer doorbusters include an HP Pavilion Desktop for $498, Acer Aspire 17.3" laptop for $498 and Acer 10.1" netbook bundle for $248. The HP TouchPad Wifi Touchscreen Tablet is available for $398. If you are in the market for a new computer, Walmart will have Black Friday doorbuster deals worth checking out. A variety of clothing, household, electronics and miscellaneous items will also be on sale, some at doorbuster prices. DVDs start at $1.96 each and many popular Blu-rays are listed for $5 each. Television series start at $12 a season. The Walmart Black Friday sale has something for everyone. Grab some coffee and get right in line!
Lonrho (LON:LONR) has revealed a new export contract with major US supermarket retailer Walmart.
Through the deal the company’s seafood division, Oceanfresh, will supply 500 Walmart stores with its pure Hake fillets starting from October onwards.
“Lonrho is delighted that Oceanfresh has been appointed as a fish supplier to the world's largest retailer Walmart,” said chairman David Lenigas.
The company also said that it has expanded its production capabilities as a result of the deal, which will add around one hundred new jobs in South Africa.
The hake supplied by Oceanfresh is caught from the Benguela current off the coast of Southern Africa, fished using sustainable methods.
“Lonrho understands the importance of responsible fishing policies and prides itself on delivering the best quality products that are wild caught and from well managed and sustainable sources,” Lenigas added.
“Oceanfresh has been diligent in working with the World Wildlife Fund's sustainable sourcing program to ensure that fish stocks are properly managed and that catch quotas are within sustainable levels to maintain wild fish stocks for future generations.”
Today’s deals is the latest example of Lonrho’s ongoing expansion, as the African conglomerate pursues its strategy to build a major agriculture and food supply business that delivers from ‘field to the fork’.
Last week Lonrho unveiled a £4.5 million deal to acquire a leading airborne export business Grindrod PCA. The deal added vital export and logistics infrastructure to the Lonrho agri-business, which is trying to grow to meet high levels of demand from major international food retailers.
Grindrod PCA, headquartered at Johannesburg International Airport, is a leading exporter of fruit, vegetables and fish into the global market.
Specifically the acquisition adds cold store capacity, it will allow for more efficient handling of perishable goods and it will create potential cost savings. Grindrod PCA operates international standard cold store and logistics facilities in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and George.
Lonrho’s vertically integrated agri-business already comprises several companies that grows, packs and delivers food produce to retailers both in Africa and around the world – with major supermarket clients in USA, Europe and the Far East.
