- stores having more than one "Black Friday sale" (especially when they take place on a random Thursday in October) - stores no longer having paper ads (or in some cases no digital ads either)

Bumping this. With tomorrow being November 1st we should start seeing more stuff show up in mailboxes.

Shop: https://www.homedepot.com Scans: https://gottadeal.com/scans/home-depot-november-ad Based on last year, Home Depot will likely put out another slightly smaller ad for the week of Black Friday which will supplement these deals with additional savings, however you should expect the deals in this November ad to be available through Black Friday despite the 11/22 end date shown in the ad.

Shop: https://gottadeal.com/sale/best-buy-bf-early-access Actual full BF sale starts on the 17th. Feel free to use this thread to discuss any deals you find.

https://corporate.target.com/news-features/Article/2023/10/early-black-friday-deals Pretty much the same as last year. Some early deals in each weekly ad and then the big sale starting the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

Shop: https://www.target.com Scans: https://gottadeal.com/scans/target-october-29th This is the first week Target has early Black Friday deals in their ad. There are 10 pages of these deals (pages 3 to 12): https://gottadeal.com/scans/target-october-29th/page-3

Reminder that for Plus and Total members, Best Buy's Black Friday early access sale starts tomorrow (likely late tonight). Everyone else has to wait until Monday.

Apparently this catalog is hitting mailboxes this week. Haven't received mine yet but if you have one, send me a PM so we can get it on the site ASAP In the meantime, here's their schedule of upcoming sales through the end of the year.

One month until BF. And still only one ad out. Maybe it's cancelled? lol

Time for another contest. We do this one every few years so let's bring it back this year... How to enter: reply to this thread and post a one or more recipes for your favorite holiday foods. Whether it's Christmas cookies, stuffing for Thanksgiving, a Halloween treat or anything else you'd like, share the recipe with everyone here. Hopefully it's something you've made every year that you love, or if you are "baking-challenged", find a recipe that sounds good and post that one. Feel free to tell everyone why it's so good and/or include pics to make everyone hungry. Entries will be accepted until 11:59pm CT on Tuesday, October 31st. At that point I'll randomly select 3 winners from all eligible entries and you will each win a $25 Walmart / Sam's Club gift card! Note: unlike past years with t-shirt contests, if you won a gift card you are welcome to try for another. Good luck to everyone! Also for anyone looking for more recipes to make this year, here are some of the recipe contest threads we've done in the past: 2009: https://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/101740-post-a-recipe-win-gottadealcom-black-friday-survival-kits-winners-chosen 2010: https://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/119822-post-a-holiday-recipe-win-gd-reusable-grocery-bags-winners-posted/ 2011: https://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/151783-contest-post-a-recipe-win-a-black-friday-t-shirt-winners-posted/ 2017: https://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/278035-post-a-recipe-win-black-friday-t-shirts-winners-posted/ 2020: https://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/331554-post-a-recipe-win-mystery-shirt-prize-packs-winners-posted

Really surprised the Sam's Club ad hasn't shown up in mailboxes yet.

Macy's has updated their BF landing page: https://www.macys.com/p/black-friday/ Select deals available 11/10 and the full BF sale starts 11/19. There's a preview of some of the deals on the page a well. --- Macy's also starts their annual Friends & Family Sale today: https://www.macys.com Up to an extra 30% off sitewide with code FRIEND.

The 3 winners are: cllehto ISU ME connieh Check your PMs to claim your prize. Next contest soon!

If anyone still hasn't received their prize, please PM me. 2024 thread should be up shortly after November 1st

I know others who just let their membership expire and then just sign up with one of the discounts under a different email each year. With the app and digital membership card you never have to go to the desk to get a physical card anymore so there's virtually no chance they'll catch you using the promotion when you weren't eligible. The only downside is you lose your purchase history, etc. and if you need to return something later you'll have to remember what account it was under.

Interesting that they are starting it later this year. Last year it started on October 11th.

There, you got a Costco BF ad. Same Friday as it was posted last year. Other than Sam's Club's 2-page no-prices preview ad last year, we're on the same schedule as last year. It's still early.
