jenmovdob Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I usually head out around 8am. I go to 2 different stores and get 2 copies. We have a problem with people taking extra ads or some places not getting all the ads. A few years ago at Dunkin Donuts I went through all their papers and there was no BB ad. Now I go 2 places and always get all the ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecutemoocow Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 LMAO, lets just say I did something LIKE this last year. My neighbor's paper is usually delivered at about 5am, but he doesn't wake up to get it until about 7am. So I'll swipe it at about 5:30 or so. JUST KIDDING! HA!

Lusha120 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 why would you 'need' a paper, we have had the ads on here for WEEKS... ok this year, maybe a week out. I have my lists, and I know what I am looking for. not looking at the regular paper saves me money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_parks Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Before I knew about Black Friday sites I would rush out at 4 AM to see what there was but now that I look through them for weeks before Black Friday I just wait and look at them when I get to my mom's house around noon!

madi5 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 We live about an hour from St. Louis. Every year my husband drives all the way in to St. Louis to get the paper. He leaves about 5am. There are not as many ads in our paper. I already know what is on sale, but I need the actual ads to get price matches done and catch those off the wall and smaller stores that don't make it to Gottadeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuggaD Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 5 am, otherwise you'll be driving all around town and not finding a paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogiporkchop Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I get up oh, about 5am or so and drive 30 minutes to the city where I'll be shopping just to get the paper so I know I have the right ads. It's always the same Meijer store, and after carefully checking a minimum of three papers I'll pick up a couple of things if there's anything good in the ad, then go home and have some coffee.

sastolfi Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 We have a local paper that comes out on Wednesday's so I get that and it has most all of the ads in there so I get a day ahead of the game for the physical paper. I have usually see all the ads on gotta deal already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelbabymommy Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Mine gets delivered to my house. Just have to walk the 120ft to the box. I happen to just renew my subscription for 7 days/week so I will get the Thanksgiving paper. Afterward I will go back to Sundays only. My Sunday-only delivery includes the Thanksgiving day paper.

Amber76 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 For the past two years the guy was late delievering the papers to the gas stations, 7 eleven etc. I had to get it after Kmart. There are always a ton of people waiting for him. This year I just re suscribed us to the paper 4 days a week, including Thursdays, so hopefully it will be there when I head out.

tinkrbel Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 ill be up early anyways so about 6 or 7 Ill go get two papers! You guys are making me consider two papers, why do you get 2? I can only think the coupons might be worth it but I will definitely double check ads before blindly picking one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL , only not so LOL...there'd be a takedown, for sure, because that means WAR...I know we see the ads ahead of time, but that doesn't stop me from taking them along when I go out for BF...

tinkrbel Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 To the people that "borrow" their neighbors papers...I'm glad you're not my neighbor or there'd be a problem... LOL That is what stopped me from doing it last year after 3 walks to gas station. I would be beyond upset if someone did it to me SO I couldn't do that to someone else. I rationalized the old people wouldn't be shopping BF but still couldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirvana4all Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I only need the internet ones from her, but DW likes them in her hand, so when I get up to go to work on thanksgiving day I pick them up. I always work thanksgiving day so I can have BF off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katyloveshockey Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I usually get up about 5:30 and head to the store about 6 to get the paper. I have to get 2 copies, 1 for me and 1 for the rest of the family to fight over. : LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFees Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 For me, we have a local paper delivery business right up the street from us, and because we know the people who work there we usually just stop on by between 3 and 4am to pick up our copies as soon as they get them. Oh and to the people who question actually have the paper ads when they're already leaked on here, two things: Paper ads are good for any included coupons, and also good for PMing. EDIT - I just realized that this thread is technically asking when you get up to get the ads and to answer that, well I am usually still up at this time. The past few years I've stayed up until about 6 or 7, then I take a nap, wake up, eat some food, then go line up at the store of choice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eileenrich Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 WE go out and get ours around 5am....most of our plans are made prior to then. Thanks to this wonderful site!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynthia in sc Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 For the past few years our carrier has gotten smart about the weight of the Thanksgiving day papers and makes a special run on Wednesday afternoon to drop off the inserts early. I LOVE IT and make sure she gets a nice tip at Christmas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimp67 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I can't believe I don't know this/remember, but when do the sale ads come in the paper? Are they in Thanksgiving newspapers? Day before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nawth21 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Thursday for the most part, but some people do not get Thurs delivery of paper so it'll be in their Wed papers. Thurs for Pioneer Press and Star Trib in MN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
