After the first 6 months of the prize club, we are now at 40 members, down from the original 59. Can't believe we're already halfway to the sales starting up again.

Press release: https://corporate.target.com/press/release/2024/03/target-announces-plans-to-deliver-enhanced-shopping-experience-in-2024-and-beyond Nothing too major, mostly just re-branding of the different tiers. Target Circle: free tier, same as now except you won't have to manually add offers anymore - they'll be automatically applied at checkout Target Circle Card: formerly known as the RedCard. Same 5% discount and free 2-day shipping on most items. Target Circle 360: new paid membership, but appears to just be a re-branding of Shipt. Free same-day delivery on $35, access to other retailers via Shipt, and the same free 2-day shipping that cardholders get (this might be new for Shipt members?) We'll see if they eventually copy Walmart and have early access to Black Friday sales for certain tiers.

An early happy new year's to everyone here

Our annual thread to discuss store closures, bankruptcies and other not-so-fun stuff.

Only 335 days to go The threads for this year have been archived so if anyone wants to start a new "never-ending BF story" thread (or any other thread), feel free to post it in here.

With less than a week left in the month 52 of 59 members have posted in December.

Merry Christmas!

They have been adding new deals to their main deals page ( https://www.walmart.com/shop/deals ) and some of those are available in stores so that could be the added pallets OP was talking about.

Yeah this might not be a sale and might just be additional merchandise delivered to stores for last minute shopping.

And the winner (chosen at random via random.org) is... drum-roll please... tinkrbel The randomly selected winning post was this one in the Black Friday 2023 Countdown & Anticipation Thread. In case you're wondering, tinkrbel had 13 entries in the contest. There were 1,517 total valid entries for the contest this year (basically all non-deleted posts in this forum except for my posts and posts in the 2 prize club threads). Congrats and tinkrbel please check your PMs to claim your prize. If the prize is not claimed by January 31, 2024 it will be forfeited.

Thread on reddit saying the 13th. Maybe 13th for online and 15th for in-store like they've been doing.

56 members so far. less than a week to join!

Maybe some of you will find this useful. Here are when the bigger Black Friday sales end: Ending Friday 11/24: Amazon*, Kohl's Ending Saturday 11/25: Target, Best Buy, Macy's, Ulta, JCPenney Ending Sunday 11/26: Walmart, Sam's Club Ending Wednesday 11/29: Home Depot, Lowe's * While Amazon's BF sale technically ends tomorrow, they will likely keep most of their deals through Cyber Monday this year. All of these stores will likely start their Cyber Monday sale the very next day after their BF sale ends.
