The last 2 years WM posted it themselves before it leaked, so if that's the case this year, look for it to come out early next week.

Yep, Walmart came Saturday and Sam's Club (from the same lawyer) came yesterday. They are both hanging on my fridge with pride

Just got an email through the site from someone with a relative working at Target that says Target will open at 4pm on Thanksgiving Day. Of course nothing confirmed yet, but I thought I'd post the rumor anyway. Target opened at 6pm last year.

Update on shirts available to order: for sizes S, M, L, 3XL and 4XL we have 2 or less in each size left, so if you want these sizes, order now: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Shirts XL and 2XL we have a little more available.

http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/MoreSales/HomeDepotAppliances These deals start Wednesday and are basically their Black Friday appliance deals. They always start these deals weeks before BF to give you more time to make these large purchases instead of having to do it on a crazy day like Black Friday.

Update: as of November 2nd, all posts made in the Posted Black Friday Ads forum will earn double entries!

Seems like most stores do that. Take a look at the older ads on http://www.blackfridayarchive.com and you'll see a lot of repeating patterns with many stores.

Hey everyone, Thought I'd post this so we don't get as many questions about these things. First, PDFs: we're still going to post PDFs for pretty much all the ads as we always have done. However on those crazy days where the ads are getting leaked one after another, it may take a few hours or even a day to catch up with creating and posting all the PDFs. We'll eventually get them posted, but our first priority is posting the ads on the BF site. We also may begin making the PDFs available only to registered forum members, so if you're lurking, you'd better register for a forum account now if you're interested in downloading the PDFs. Next, ad item listings: as we've done in the last, we'll type up the item listings for most of the ads. There will be some smaller and regional stores where we just don't have the time to type them up when the ad leaks (especially for very large ads). If we're able to, we'll add them later on when things calm down but no guarantees. Also, when I post the thread for a new ad, there may be a link to the item listing that has not been added yet or is in progress. Rest assured, if I include a link to the listing, we plan on having that ad typed up at some point soon.

Please use this thread to post the deals you are finding, talk about upcoming Lightning Deals, share what you've bought and anything else related to the sale. And just a reminder that posts in this thread obviously count towards the iPad Air 2 giveaway, so get posting!

Most interesting part to me was this: "The retailer promises more Rollbacks that last at least 90 days on everything from electronics to baking essentials, and fewer “this weekend only” holiday offers." So less of those weekend one or two-day sales that everyone always went crazy for. Without those limited time sales, the urgency to go to Walmart goes away. Deals that you plan on having for 3 months+ usually aren't very good deals to begin with.
