Sale is live: https://gottadeal.com/sale/best-buy-black-friday-sale

Next batch of shirts packaged and will ship tomorrow. Still waiting for a couple winners to send me addresses but if you've replied, yours will be going out tomorrow.

Sale starts tonight at midnight PST. From the spreadsheet they sent us, I'd say 90% of the deals will start tonight with the rest scattered over the next 8 days.

The current 20% LETSGO20 code should work for a bit after the sale starts Saturday night. The 30% codes you might have in your Kohl's Wallet are unique codes and tend to be coded to expire just as the sale starts. We'll see if that changes this year.

The 7 final t-shirt winners are: ilikefree giz mgreen bribri25 wittenlover mcwalker Illinoismom Congrats and check your PMs to claim your prize (and do it quick for your best chance of getting the size you want). Once these are all shipped I'll see if I have any left that I can still give away but no promises

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.

Target should have their ad out Thursday night. Walmart should post their BF week deals on Thursday morning (with a smaller preview tomorrow possibly).

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.

Black Friday being on the 29th vs the 24th last year also makes things seem like they are behind.

It's not later than usual, as you said. We actually have a few more ads now than we did at this point last year. Really the only ad we had at this point (13 days before BF) last year that we don't this year is Staples.

Sale is live today. Was hoping to see an actual BF ad get released with it but nothing. Macy's might have joined the "stores no longer releasing any physical or digital ad" club

Scans: https://gottadeal.com/scans/meijer-black-friday-sale First 8 pages are for the 3-day sale starting Thanksgiving Day. Rest of ad is the full week sale starting the 24th. meijer-black-friday-sale.pdf

Last year you could add Disney+ (with ads) for $2/month to the $1/month Hulu Black Friday deal and get both (again, with ads) for $3/month. That promo, if it returns, won't be back for another week or two.

Shop the sale: https://gottadeal.com/sale/macys-bf-early-access They call this an early access sale but this is basically the same deals they'll have for BF week. Should get an ad from them in the next couple days to go along with it.

They couldn't be used last year either: https://blackfridayarchive.com/Ad/JCPenney/2023 Didn't check years prior to that but it's not new.

It opens for everyone at 5pm EST this afternoon.

There will probably be additional deals that pop up when the sale starts, but even so based on last year I expect the BF week sale to be much better deal-wise than this early sale.
