Wal Mart

Good news: there are even more line options for you during this year's iPhone 4 launch on June 24! Of course the iPhone will be sold at Apple stores nationwide, as well as online, but other big-box retailers are getting in on the launch-day action, too. Break out your camping gear — it's going to be a long wait. See where to line up on iPhone 4 day below!

• Apple Store — Line up at the usual party place on June 24. Doors will open at 7:00 a.m., and there will be two lines — one for customers with preorders, and one for nonpreorders. Make sure you get in the right line!
• AT&T — Head in to your local AT&T store to grab one. Stores will be opening early! Update: AT&T has issued a statement saying that they will not have any iPhone 4s available for walk-in (or nonpreorder) customers.

But that's not all — see the rest of your options after the break.

As if we needed another sign that the fourth generation iPhone is on its way, Wal-Mart is reportedly clearing out its iPhone 3GS stock and cutting the price tag by $100. Normally selling in the big box store for $197, Wal-Mart will be unloading a 16GB iPhone 3GS beginning tomorrow for a mere $97.

The price cut comes just after the announcement that Steve Jobs will be the keynote speaker at WWDC on June 7. As usual, the phones will require activation and a contract through AT&T, which some of you aren't too pleased with.

Update: The $97 iPhone 3GS is currently available for purchase on Wal-Mart's website.

This question comes from Allisonberry in the Savvy Savings Challenge group.

My newest dilemma is whether to start shopping at stores like Wal-Mart that are now offering local, organic produce. I've always been a Whole Foods and Trader Joe's junkie, but if they're offering the same products at half the price...should I make the transition over to the dark side? Which is more important: take a stand against unfair labor practices, or satisfy my wallet? What do you think about this topic?

Wal-Mart is already a go-to spot for a lot of household goods, but one study suggests it may be taking a bigger role in the world of beauty. WWD reports on a new study by researching firm The Benchmarking Company, which surveyed more than 2,300 women to gauge their opinions of the store's beauty shopping experience.

Among the findings: 73 percent of the participants shop for personal care products at Wal-Mart, and more than half do so because of low prices. Olay, Cover Girl, Suave, and Maybelline are some of the more popular brands among these shoppers. One beauty genre, however, isn't doing so well at Wally World. The study shows that shoppers are "confused" by natural and organic products, and 70 percent refuse to pay more for them. Why does this matter for beauty brands? Because 200 million people shop at Wal-Mart each week. Are you one of them, and do you stock up on your grooming essentials there?

Shoppers, listen up! The pumpkins are barely ripe for carving and already the mega stores are having price slashing wars. Target and Wal-Mart have made the 2009 holiday toy budget a tad more realistic as they have marked loads of games and dolls down to half-price. Parents who like to keep their local mom and pop businesses afloat may be reconsidering that approach this holiday season when they see Barbies and G.I. Joes at dirt cheap prices. Will the state of the economy affect where you are shopping this holiday season?
