I really didn think people shopped @<hidden> hardware stores on BF, but i really had a reallity check last year, HD had a genie ladder for 119, being a new homeowner and needing the ladder i was going to make it one of my stops but only after the wife took care of what she had to do for the kids, I showed up there around 10 maybe 11 and the guy told me that they had about 100 ladders and they sold out in 10 - 15 mins..........:(

Does HD have appliances and/or garage door openers for discount on BF?

maybe the Door opener, not quite sure on the big appliances

Home depot had some cute yard inflatables for 19.99 last year. i picked up a really nice 4 1/2 ft penguin that was much better made than the ones they were selling at wm

Last year I got 5 pair of Mechanix gloves for $5. Normally they sell for $15.

Does anyone know if they will have a deal on countertops or carpet? I need both!

Does anyone know if they will have a deal on countertops or carpet? I need both!

I doubt they'll have any special deals on those, but this summer I acutally pricematched Homeexpo (HD company) with HD for a granite countertop. (offer was 15 or 20% off, got additional 10% off lowest price and my countertops ended up cheaper than corian.) They tried to fight me, but I had all my printouts, LOL) I won!!!!

Carpets: They usually have those on sale to frequently to give extra discounts on BF. Make sure you check the current sales.. You could always try to PM if its area rugs.

Good luck with the renovation :-)

I pays to have the printouts. I love HD and Lowes PM policy. They match, plus take 10% off. If they both have the same item, I go to the one who has the higher price, and then buy it 10% cheaper after the PM.

PS Off topic, but Lowes does have carpet in their BF ad.

Just came back from HD... They had 6 Magnavox plasma 42"
Model 42MF231D on upper shelves. Nobody could tell me more about them.
Cant find the 42" model on their site either. HMMM, wonder if that wl be one for their items.

There's a 42" television for BF and a 48".

Nothing confirmed on the price yet.

There's also a $39 DVD player.

they have a confirmed 32 " LCD HD TV for 478.00 on BF.. and Im telling u it is confirmed

Too bad I already have a tree.

I am really excited by this ad!! I couldn't tell though their hours on BF can anyone else tell?

Yeah this was a pretty good ad but I could not tell what the sale time were.

There's a 42" television for BF and a 48".

Nothing confirmed on the price yet.

There's also a $39 DVD player.

I dont see a 42" or 48" one in their ad. Anyone have any info on that?

I hope my 10% off coupon works on that tv.

Heck, I dig the Gorilla Ladder..... I need that thing, because I dare say the Little Giant isn't coming out on sale anytime soon.

Brand is Element Electronics, which is supposedly rebadged Polaroid or Mag. I picked up 3 last night and came to $382 each for me after using 20% off coupon. :D

You mean they are available now? Where do you get the coupon?

Yes, the TVs actually started arriving at the stores on Tuesday, some as late as today depending on what part of the country you are in. The TVs were shrink-wrapped on pallets with bright pink "DO NOT SELL, RESERVED FOR BLACK FRIDAY" signs on them. Store employees in Georgia, Washington, and a few other states have mistakenly disregarded those and are selling them early. Good luck. I got my coupon on ebay.

Thanks I"ll check my local home depot.

Anything else available today? I really want the tree FAR. Thanks

I want to print this ad for my dad, but I know he'll have trouble reading the prices because of all the little "trademark" thingies that the other site put over EVERY price!:rolleyes:

An I missing it somehow, or is there no item listing posted for HD yet??:confused: :confused:

Anything else available today? I really want the tree FAR. Thanks

Yes, I did see the tree at my store, but not sure how about the rebate. Terms may state you have to buy it on BF, so you might be screwed that way.

i was told today they are going to have a good deal on big screen tvs

Heck, I dig the Gorilla Ladder..... I need that thing, because I dare say the Little Giant isn't coming out on sale anytime soon.

A friend of mine has that gorilla he got at HD last BF.. That thing is just as good as the little giant IMO..

I went to HD tonight and they did not have any TVs out but the guy said they sold some
42" HDTV Plasma Magnavox yesterday for $1499. He said they were not supposed to and would not be putting them back out until BF and said they might be cheaper than that on BF.

THD has 42" HDTV plasma ($1499) and 50" HDTV plasma ($1999). You do not have to wait for BF to buy it. The store may have been out of it. Only limited supplies are being sent to stores.

DOH! Forgot to pick up a HDMI cable for my TV. Looks so-so on standard cable...

I dont know if this will help but lastyear i was able to buy the black friday items from there web site on thanksgiving day morning at the bf price. I dont know if everything was there, but i got the compressor and nailer combo and cordless drill they had.

Where is the "List of Sale Items" for Home Depot?:confused: With all the other site's logos all over the ad, I don't think I could get a decent printout of it with my black & white printer-- and besides, the list is much easier to deal with anyway!

Mods-- any idea when the list of items might be posted??

I've seen the ad scan for HD... but when I look at the "Sale Ads" page where the lists of items at each store are, it skips from Harbor Freight to Ikea!:( If anyone has seen the actual list, could you please post a link to it?:confused:

Thanks, martinas-- I was starting to worry that I was losing my mind (what's left of it anyway!) :gd_stars:

Does anyone know if home depot's gives out tickets for the TV's or is it run and fend for yourself?:tongue1:

It is run and fend for yourself......

Yes can't wait I love that rush.

++++Do we know what time HD is opening?

Just came back from HD... They had 6 Magnavox plasma 42"
Model 42MF231D on upper shelves. Nobody could tell me more about them.
Cant find the 42" model on their site either. HMMM, wonder if that wl be one for their items.

I work at HD. We've had the 42" plasma since Labor Day in our store, it's $1499. Don't think it's going down for BF, but I could be wrong. We also got in a different 42" model and a 50" model, I know that 50" plasma is $1999, not sure about the 2nd 42" model. All are Magnavox.

We have a 32" coming for BF, actually all stores have it already but not all have theirs out. Corporate sent a memo down that it was manager choice as to whether they'd put their BF stuff out early or not - I know some stores in my area already have some of theirs out. My store does not. The store closest to mine is already out of the 32" TV flat screen (it's $478) and they sent someone over to my store today to get one, but ours are still on a pallet in Receiving.

We actually got quite a few electronics this year, as strange as it seems. We have a projection Tv for $999 that is pretty cool.

Home Depot opens at 6 am on BF, just like normal. We won't give out tickets for anything; some stuff is already out. Fend for yourself type of thing.

Yes, the TVs actually started arriving at the stores on Tuesday, some as late as today depending on what part of the country you are in.

We've had the 42" Magnavox in my store since Labor Day. We got the 50" last week. We've had them set up and playing movies ever since. They only one we haven't set out is the 32" that's in the BF ad. I am at a store in Fort Worth, Texas

the 42 magnavox with a free wall mount is availabe now at the home depot in Fayetteville NC

Just a word of advice. Check over the rebate form they give you carefully. I know of at least three people personally that got something from Home Depot that was supposed to have a rebate and they were given the incorrect paperwork. Of course no one bothered to tell them this until after the rebate time had expired so it couldn't be corrected and calls to corporate yielded nothing. Just wanted to give y'all a heads up. I don't want anyone to be disappointed. :)

Does HD have any kind of protection plan or anything to that extent if I got the 32" lcd and something happened to it? Could I return it? Do I have to go through that company?

I got one of the rigid vac's they had on sale last year for $27, been great to have. Looks like the same one is on sale this year as well for the same price.

Can anyone tell me what the difference between the DeWalt 18-Volt Compact Drill/Driver Kit for $209 on page 3 & the DeWalt 18-Volt 3/8" Compact Drill/Driver Kit for $99 on page 29 is?? Besides the free 18 volt flouresent light & the price. The specs they give on both are different. They both seem to come with 2 batteries & the charger but other then that I am lost. :confused: I cannot find anything on the 2 pages they are on that says one is for BF only & that is why one is $99 or if they are really 2 different drills. Am I just missing something?? TIA for any info, it is very much appreciated. :)

Is this TV brand any good? I don't remember seeing any TV's out on display at our HD and don't want to go stand in line/buy something just because the price is low :)

The one on the 3rd page is a reagularly stocked item, the second one isn't. The first has a 1/2" chuck with 450 in-lb of torque. The second has a 3/8" chuck with I think around 300 in-lbs of torque. Also the first one with the light was a special buy from last month so it could be tough to find in certain areas, normally just the drill is $209.

here is the tv from HD
elementelectronics.com/pages/products/tv_monitor.asp

its a bit on the dim side, so I think Im gonna go with the westy from BBY

I was in my Home Depot on Saturday and asked if I bought something today and it went on sale Friday, if I would get the difference... She said of course. So I bought the Gorilla ladder for $99 and will bring the receipt back in on Friday during the sale time and get the difference back. I made sure to write down the person name when I asked. Has anyone tried this before with Home Depot?

Can't find the Home Depot Black Friday ad. Help.

Thank you so much for clearing that up for me. I figured I was missing something. :D

I want to get that ladder too. In the shopping list it says it's 13 inches. That was a typo, right? Does anyone have this ladder and how do they like it?

Is this TV brand any good? I don't remember seeing any TV's out on display at our HD and don't want to go stand in line/buy something just because the price is low :)
I have been using this TV for about 3 days now (granted as a computer monitor) and it's ok. The standard cable picture is ok too, for the price. There is a noticeable difference in quality of one of these vs. a Sony of course, but it makes a great bedroom or 2nd TV.

From my experience as a manufacturers rep who calls on a large amount of Home Depots, they seem to have a woefully short supply of most of the good items. If I remember correctly from last year alot of the items are mistakenly put on the sales floor early by inept HD employees and are actually sold out before BF. Because I know alot of the prices of items in the dept. that I work with, I can tell you that alot of the items listed in the sale ad are everyday prices with a few deals sprinkled throughout.

I know I sound jaded and bitter, but dealing with such a poorly run company(Home Depot) on a daily basis for work has made me this way. Fortunately Lowe's also sells a good deal of my company's products, so I refer people there whenever possible.

how does it look in HD?

I was wondering if anyone went for these last year? I am prego with twins and the thought of trying to get that thing in my vehicle that day just doesn't sit well. I was wondering if it would fit in a car (backseat) or if I need to scam the truck from my hubby.

Was also wondering if you can buy things at home depot and go back later to pick them up. So if I bought the ladder in the am then had a friend come later with a truck to help me pick it up.

I saw it online for the same price this morning, but of course it didn't qualify for the free shipping because of the weight.

Wonder if they have a lot of them?

Our Home Depot will let you do that. When we bought our gas grill, it was assembled so we had to come back with a truck to get it home. They gave us a slip before leaving that we showed them when we came back to pick it up.

Does anyone know what time HD is opening for BF?

I'm kind of nervous about going there since there are no vouchers and it's a run and gun type thing, does HD usually have a big line at opening? I'm in a wheelchair or crutches right now (bad motorcycle) and i'm worried that i'll be pushed over or stepped on, i'd rather not have to have my pelvis rebuilt a second time

The Black Friday ad lists an 18" Ryobi planer for 199.00. I checked out the net and can't find a Ryobi Planer bigger than 13". Think that is a misprint? Would they have to honor the ad and substitute an 18" planer?

Any one know what the hours are for BF at HD?

I saw last year's hours at 6AM...
Does anyone know if it'll be the same this year?

Stores open at 6am.

That $478 32" LCD HDTV is available online...But you must pay for shipping as well...

I just got home, we stopped at home depat last and they were open before 6am. anyways, I got the gorrilla ladder and two garage door openers. Overall this morning has been great!!!

how do you find the tv online???

GOT TO HD AT 5:30 AM IT OPENED AT 6 AM I WAS THE 4TH PERSON IN THE STORE THEY WERE OUT OF THE TVS ALREADY THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD 6 TVS(32"LCD ) DID'NT SEE ONE GO OUT THE DOOR ASKED STORE MANAGER WERE ARE THEY HE STUDDERD AND SAID THEY WERE SOLD ALREADY BUT HOW I WAS THE 4TH PERSON IN THE STORE NO ANWSER I SAID I THINK THE EMPLOYEES HAVE THEM STASHED ALREADY HE SAID NO AFTER ONE MIN.HE SAID THAT THE EMPLOYEE ARE NOT ALLOWED WENT HOME CALLED CUST. SERVICE THE WANTED TO GIVE ME A $10 GIFT CARD I TOLD THEM THAT IS A INSULT TO ME SHE SAID WHAT DO YOU WANT I SAID SOME DISCOUNT ON ANOTHER TV SHE SAID I CALL THE STORE CAME BACK PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME GO POUND SALT NO DEAL ONLY THE 10 DOLLAR GIFT CARD. DID ANY ONE ELSE HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO THEM?:mad: :mad: :mad: :gdparanoid:

I know our Home Depot actually sold a few of those 32" LCD Tvs...YESTERDAY...there was some confusion on employees' part on what to put out on the floor and when...he may have been stammering because of that?

THEY WERE OUT OF THE TVS ALREADY

A local HD in my area had their TVs out lasts week and sold out of them. Too stupid to read the huge flourescent pink signs on the pallets that said BLACK FRIDAY ONLY. My store didn't put ours out until after the store closed Wednesday night in preparation for today.

We have a new Home Depot and when my Hubby went to get the Christmas Tree at about 9:15 they still had 2 of the TVs at our store. That is probably only because a lot of people don't know about the store being open yet. Although it has been open for a couple months.

In my experience as a vendor calling on retail stores including home depot. Home Depot is BY FAR the poorest run, most ass backwards, non caring, understaffed retail chain out there. If there is worse out there I have not had the experience of doing business with them. Home Depot is not the same company it was 5-10 years ago.

They have had these online since yesterday,every time you try and check out it says not available,after they make you go thru the whole checkout process.UN REAL!!

I waited in the car til doors opened, went in, got 2 of them and was out of there by 6:10 - great TV, already have it hooked to the surround sound and my 360 :D

$479 for the 32"????

In the ad here it was $599, what's up with that?

I was able to pick up a few last week... I heard that corporate was allowing each store's manager to decide on which items they wanted to put out early... sounds very strange, but I dunno.

$479 for the 32"????

In the ad here it was $599, what's up with that?
That's what our ad said too, but then they rang up that price instead of 599, worked for me!

At my store the original shipment of TV's didnt come shipped with the pink sign so they put em out...but we got some more in closer to black friday specifically for that. Store manager had a choice on whether to put the first batch out.

I have a Lowe's coupon for $10 off $25 and there's a wet/dry vac I want from the Depot. Anyone know if they accept competitor coupons?

He was probably stammering because they were probably bought by employees before BF. That's what happened at my sister's store. By law I guess they are required to have one on the floor. Don't think its right but it happens. She said the Managers bought them. :(
