As predicted lol Target: https://corporate.target.com/press/releases/2022/10/Target-Ushers-in-Black-Friday-Deals-Available-Now Best Buy: http://corporate.bestbuy.com/holiday-kickoff-2022/ So with Target, unless the ad gets leaked early, it won't show up on Target's site until November 18th most likely And with Best Buy, they don't have ads anymore so their sale will just show up online when it starts with many of the deals starting October 24th.

Press release: https://corporate.bestbuy.com/holiday-kickoff-2022/ - 2-day flash sale starts tomorrow to compete with Amazon's sale - Black Friday deals start Monday October 24th - Official Black Friday sale starts 17th/18th/20th for Totaltech/My Best Buy/general public

https://corporate.target.com/article/2022/10/Black-Friday-deals As suspected, weekly BF deals in their Sunday ad each week (which started yesterday) leading up to BF.

Sale seems to have started a few hours early: https://www.walmart.com/shop/deals?irgwc=1&sourceid=imp_zq%3AzUM3XQxyJTsd0GBQcExbTUkDQtezVxx%3Apxc0&veh=aff&wmlspartner=imp_64406&clickid=zq%3AzUM3XQxyJTsd0GBQcExbTUkDQtezVxx%3Apxc0&sharedid=&affiliates_ad_id=566719&campaign_id=9383

Based on last year I'm guessing we get some announcements this week about BF sale dates, etc. from stores like Target and Best Buy.

Yeah they just didn't want to pay for the extra employees that worked curbside. Now they get you in the store and hope you'll see something on the way to the back of the store to buy. As for it being an honor system, I heard that any large or expensive items will still have to be picked up at customer service.

Time for another fun contest We've got a $50 Amazon Gift Card to give away along with 7 GottaDEAL Hoodies! To be entered to win, reply to this thread with a link to something on Amazon that you think would make a unique gift idea and post a sentence or two about what it is and what kind of person you think it would appeal to. Don't forget that Amazon's Prime Early Access (a.k.a. Prime Day II) will take place next week so you should have no trouble finding ideas and deals. The contest will run through Sunday, October 16th at 11:59pm ET. At that point I'll randomly pick someone to win the $50 gift card and 7 more people to win hoodies. As always, if you've already won a hoodie you can't win another, but you can try for the $50 gift card. Important! You can post to enter the contest once per day for up to 10 total entries. However to make things easier when picking winners, please do not post entries in the thread more than once per day. You can edit and add additional items to your original post for that day if you'd like to post additional gift ideas. For more info on this year's new hoodies and to order them, see this thread. Good luck to everyone! Disclaimer: Amazon is not a sponsor of this contest.

The first 5 winners of GottaDEAL hoodies are: angiekd27 packratfamily giz rockpzazz mcwalker Congrats and check your PMs to claim your prize. Look for the next contest soon!

Shop: https://www.walmart.com/shop/deals Don't know what to expect from this one, but I saw the banner on Walmart's site so here's the thread to post any deals you find.

Scans: https://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/OtherSales/Target1009 Also on Target site: https://weeklyad.target.com/promotions?code=Target-20221009&page=1 Posting this one because the first 8 pages of Target's upcoming weekly ad are all labeled as Black Friday deals, so it appears Target is starting their pattern of having featured Black Friday deals in their weekly ads leading up to Black Friday week. 6 of the 8 pages are toys (due to the Target Circle $10 off $50 / $25 off $100 offer next week) and the last 2 pages have kitchen and electronics "BF" deals.

Be sure to check your Target Circle offers for targeted 10%/15%/$10/??? off your entire purchase offers. Also check your Target Circle bonus section for a possible "spend $xx # of times, get a $xx bonus" offer.

I have at least one piece of every GD merch item we've done. And I have the actual paper BF ads from the newspaper going back to around 2004-2005 I believe (many of which need to be scanned to get better quality versions on www.blackfridayarchive.com).

Press release: https://corporate.target.com/press/releases/2022/10/Target-Deal-Days-Returns-Oct-6-8-to-Kick-Off-Holid a few deals listed. nothing too exciting.

Posted a few new toy catalogs this morning: Amazon: https://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Catalogs/AmazonToyBook Kohl's: https://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Catalogs/KohlsToyBook Fleet Farm: https://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Catalogs/FleetFarmToyland

If anyone wants a hoodie really fast, I'm headed to the post office so order in the next 2 hours and I'll drop it off today

Prizes will ship in the next day or so. Due to the package being under 3/4" in thickness they don't qualify for tracking so just give them a couple weeks to get there and for some reason if you never get one send me a PM and I have a few extras. They'll be arriving in a white poly mailer with an ebay logo on them because the mailers were free from ebay and they fit lol
