I thought last night might be the night the ad leaked as they did it Monday night last year, but with today being Veteran's Day, they might have delayed it by a day, so we might get it tonight around midnight EST.

Last year they offered the same deals online and they sent physical gift cards.

Looking to get some higher resolution copies of the scans. These are kind of tough to read.

I really don't like BB releasing ads at this time of day. Did it last year too. Really takes the excitement away when everyone is sleeping and won't see it until morning Now to see if Walmart releases theirs shortly after midnight PST...

They probably won't announce that for another week or so. Still plenty of time.

You can check out the ad on bestbuy.com and scroll where those parts are cut off.

We'll have a schedule on the site about a week before Black Friday starts. It's too soon to know now. As for past years, I'd recommend you go through the forum archives: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forum/10-black-friday-archives/ and find the threads for the online sales. You should be able to tell by the time of the posts when the sale went live.

last 2 pages were for the one-day sale they had online today. Actual ad is 36 pages.

So I'm going to assume the old database can't be restored, so I created new threads for the ads that were posted today. Should be caught up now.

Because of the server issues, if you posted at all on Monday, you'll have to re-post your answers to count for the contest.

I created another Target thread in the meantime. The other ads/threads from today were Gordmans, Craft Warehouse, Bealls Florida, Sears Outlet, Sears Hometown and True Value.

If you won a shirt and I had your address by 5pm this afternoon, your shirts were mailed today

See this post: http://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/236706-were-on-a-backup-database/ If I find out that the other database is toast, I'll re-post all of today's new ad posts in this subforum. In the meantime, you can discuss today's ads in the store-specific subforums.

Due to some issues on the servers, we're using a copy of the database from the last backup, so we're missing all of today's posts. We're working to get the "real" updated database working again and if so, we'll get those "lost" posts back (but we'll lose anything you post in the meantime). So yeah. Not a fun night at GottaDeal HQ...

Time for another contest! To enter, just reply to this thread with your answers to these 3 questions. Simple as that. Here are the questions: 1. How much money do you anticipate spending the entire week of Black Friday, online and in stores combined? 2. If you plan on shopping offline on Thanksgiving and/or Black Friday, how many different stores do you predict you'll shop at? 3. Do you anticipate shopping online more than last year, less than last year, or about the same as last year? No need to be exact with these, just trying to get a general idea what people are thinking this year. The contest will run until Thursday at 8pm ET. We'll choose 20 members at random from those who reply (and haven't already won a shirt) and you'll each win a Black Friday t-shirt. Good luck to all! http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/2014shirt.png
