It has to be frustrating for people who want to shop on BF in store at Walmart because you have no idea which deals will be there without clicking on each item to see a) if it's sold by Walmart or a 3rd party and b) if Walmart carries it in store or is it online only. With the old ad you knew, these items should be available in store. But yeah, the full sale should be out Thursday morning unless plans change.

I really wish Walmart would stop selling stuff on their website from "other sellers"...if I wanted to purchase items from random people, I'd go to eBay...

I put together a quick and dirty page with a schedule of when I think the various online sales will start this year. You can check it out here: https://gottadeal.com/schedule I'm still working on a new version of the old tracker and I expect to have that ready for next year. There's a lot of data to put on the page and have it work for both desktop and mobile screens so it's taking a little longer. But this simple page has the times listed, you can pick your time zone to customize it and each sale is linked.

I still would prefer paper ads. Easier to lay them out and compare deals.

I miss quickly downloading the pdf ad scan leaks before they got taken down

Thanks Jesusluvu. Yes she loved her sweets! I have a tons of pictures of her eating too. I used to send them to her aide, almost daily, when I took mom out to eat. Her aide used to get a kick out of it. She could never get over seeing a 92 year old woman who could eat as much as my mother did.

WooHoo, Let's go! We are on day 3 of tornadoes in Oklahoma. Hopefully Mother Nature gets her stuff together and gives us some fall weather the rest of the month. I saw someone on Facebook post "We wanted hoodie weather, not "evacuate your hood" weather!"

With each passing year, I miss BF at Walmart pre 2020 all the third party sale items are kinda annoying… Times have changed, but I like the old school sales ad where we could actually turn the page and not do so much scrolling of almost endless products…

Alright Santas, the lists are out. Ready, Set, Shop! Please let me know ASAP if you didn't get a list that you should have gotten, or if you got a list you shouldn't have .

Going to a celebration tomorrow for a Facebook friend of mine I have never met. Hoping I make a good impression with this key lime pie I made. I always forget how long it takes to juice a pound of key limes to get a half a cup of juice for the recipe.

Reinholt please send your info/questionare to Bopeep. My Christmas list got shorter/easier this year. So it would be my pleasure to send 2 people gifts so you can participate.

Okay, let's get this over with. 11 months to go

I’m in!

Rumor is the sale pricing details will drop Thursday at 10am EST

You know on second thought if I can get ALL that stuff brand new in the box today for those prices I will take the whole ad. Should be able to make a mint on eBay.

I always feel like I am forgetting something the last few years when I am out because I don't have my binder or grocery bag full of ads

It’s not the old boards, it’s the massive amount of sales they are having every week for many weeks and not really releasing ads. Corporate greed

I miss having a finite list of items that we could type up each year and utilize a search feature across the ads to compare items. Now, it spans 7 weeks and 10,000 items that is just unreasonable to manage/follow the items and the sale intervals.

That's a thought. For that many "prizes" it would probably have to be a sheet of stickers or some such thing. But....if you got 45 of this years prize, you would have your Christmas shopping done. Lol

I wish! I would probably earn close to 45 prizes if we received prizes for the average number of times we post in this thread per month.

Hey, Just had a thought. If I post twice a month, do I get two prizes? Tina

Home Depot has an animated reindeer and I want it SO BAD. I stand in my living room and turn in a circle trying to figure out where in the world I could fit him (my house just isn't that big). I think I'd have to take out one of the recliners or the love seat. I live alone, though, so I don't need all those seats anyway! If company comes, they can sit on the floor.

I love this community. Thank you, and if she does send me her list I'll be sure to let you know. I've had a couple other people ask about adding her info to the cards list. Since she is currently staying in a rehab center and I'm not sure what her mail situation is, I've reached out to her to ger her okay on that.

Reinholt- I am so sorry you have been through so much this year! BoPeep - can I make a suggestion you put Reinholts name in the drawing for a SS to send her a gift. And then either give me the name she would’ve bought for (I’ll shop for 2 people). Or take mine out of the receiving. It would bring me more joy to know she got something than me!

Same! I may not post every time I visit, but I do check out the site regularly throughout the year.

BBW BF sale is always the entire store Buy 3 items get 3 free. Plus they usually have a special gift box item for sale. I would wait until the $2.95 each soap sale in mid December.

Pretty basic but a fun little look to my house for tonight’s roaming hordes of candy raiders. lol

I wish they revealed the deals early enough to compare at different stores. Bring back the print ads!

Yeah, I miss those days, too. Getting up at 4 am and standing in line for those $5 pair of PJ's while everyone else was waiting on a TV. I would have all my earlybird shopping done by 8 am, then get myself breakfast before heading out for the regular deals. It was like a live version of Ms Packman, and every time I scored a deal I would power up! Sigh. BF has disappointed a lot lately. But I still can't wait.

If I post here for next year, does that mean I have to do 13 months? I love the idea of using this as a blog of sorts about what is going on with my life! Let me introduce myself. This is my crew - before significant others. (Does this generation ever get married?) Mrs. Pookie AmazonPhotos (1).zip

SO I normally dry age it for about a week, trimming and changing the cheese cloth during the week. Then on the day of the smoke I take it out to bring to room temperature, I start the smoker up and get it to about 225, while it's coming to temp I will usually rub the rib in some good olive oil and then I use one of a rubs (depending on how we feel). I either make one up with garlic powder, sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper, onion powder and possibly a little rosemary. If we want a little more flavor a friend owns a company that makes rubs for sale and I order some of his Pitfaced OG rub it's little bit of sweet a little bit of heat and just overall really good. I try to let it sit in the rub for a little while then on to the smoker. I don't go by time I go by temps internal and I tend to pull it about 5 degrees before it's at the temp I want. It then gets wrapped and set for about 30-60 minutes (this lets the juices draw back in and allows it to finish cooking). Once we are ready, I unwrap and slice to the thickness we want.

I have always waited until Thanksgiving weekend to decorate, but it's been a rough year and I need a little Christmas. I am going to do all my indoor decorations this weekend, except the trees. I will do the trees and the front porch Thanksgiving weekend. Unless I decide to go ahead and put the trees up early too - and I'm giving myself permission to do that if I wish :).

Born in 1962, I actually had a lot of those toys in my youth. Pretty sure the American Flyer train is in a box in my attic. My father assembled a small town around a simple round train track. There's a picture of him 'helping' newborn me control the train. I had a replica rifle with bolt action and a rubber bayonet. The bayonet was confiscated the very first day...but what a day that was! The 43" Ride-Able fire engine, however, would be my pick. In September, my siblings and I visited our oldest sister. I brought a laptop with me that housed my father's 8mm movies. I recorded the conversation as we watched. It won't be long before no one knows who is on those reels. I plan to add the 'soundtrack and drop the whole thing onto DVD. Just such a fire engine was prominently featured in the earliest movies. Good times.

My daughters and I will just keep the traditions going by going out on Black Friday and spending the day together. The younger one (18) wants to add an IPad to her list but says I can wait until my birthday mom. It’s in January. These kids. I hope there are deals to be found.

Kotton Kandy Maker for 9.98 for me. Brings back memories!

I'm totally all over that Kotton Kandy maker for $9.98 and I'd throw in a couple extra mixes at $0.49 each. Fun for the kid in me...

Whoa that plastic mold thingy is cool! BTW: $24 in 1963 is $248.92 in 2024 money.

We have pretty plain palates, so our Thanksgiving will just be: turkey dressing mashed potatoes turkey gravy deviled eggs rolls and, of course, desserts. I'll make a banana pudding. I don't know what others will bring. I'm trying to make gluten free dressing for my dil. Gator Pam told me how to make it come out the texture and consistency I want, so I'll be testing that this weekend. I don't know about Christmas this year. We've always had chicken and dumplins for our Christmas dinner at Mom's. We lost her in August and I don't guess we are planning to have an all family dinner anymore. I've been told that's the plan for years, but I don't like it. On Christmas day, my sisters and I will be together, but that day we usually just do sandwiches. I might surprise them with chicken and dumplins :).

Until just now I hadn’t seen anything. But the flashlight gloves posted in the gift idea contest thread seem like a good Hanukkah gift to me for my recipients.

batteries. always. LOL other than that, I guess I'll just know it when I see it.

Yeah...Life has been so busy. I will do better next year. I miss my GD Family.

Forgot to mention this earlier but for cost-saving reasons (I love a deal...), there are slightly different versions of the shirts. Some will be regular black, others will be a dark charcoal heather. There are several different brands of shirts as well but they all have the same design. The first batch will ship out this week.

"If you can read this, I got your door buster,"? One of my favorites.

I am going to get some of these for gifts this year. Rain Drum

I miss the days/ nights of standing in line in the cold for the awesome electronic deal that ya just could not pass up. The sales the past few years just seem to be mediocre, and retailers have spread the sales out to far. Although I still can get some good deals, the excitement of getting the “huge BF deal” just isn’t there anymore in my area at least.
