What is Walmart Gold Monday?

[lorraineb]

Anyone know exactly what Walmart Gold Monday sale is, or are they just making up names now with no actual meaning at all to try and sell us crap? It wouldn't surprise me if their marketing surveys says people buy more when a day is named. They just announced a Gold Monday sale today, but there is no information on the website that actually explains what Gold Monday is supposed to mean. Anyone have any ideas which this newly designated day is supposed to represent?

Just another Marketing campaign designed to make you spend money at their store. I have no idea what it specifically is though.
