I think the reporter wants more specific items, not general store policies, opening times, etc... but I could be wrong.

Worst can also mean funny-bad, not necessarily price-bad.

As those of you who've been around for past years know, the week of Black Friday we have a listing of all the Black Friday ad items that can be ordered online at the Black Friday ad prices at any given point in time. Of course those listings don't update themselves (believe me, we tried), so we always use a small army of volunteers who will have time during the week to update these items and help everyone out. So this is a call for those volunteers. If you are selected to help, you'll be assigned one or more stores that we have a Black Friday ad for and it will be your responsibility to check each item we have linked on the site and check a box if that item is in stock and available online at the sale price (or less). Not much experience needed - you need to know how to click a link to a product, verify the price and availability, and check or uncheck a box for that item, and then repeat for the entire ad for whatever store(s) you are assigned. You should be available to help throughout the week next week. If you can only help early in the week, we appreciate your offer, but we really need people that can at least check these a few times on Thursday and Friday when the most "action" happens with sale prices changing. These are volunteer spots, but anyone who helps out will get something for their help, likely a gift card. You'll also be helping out the huge number of shoppers who will visit the site next week. So if you are interested, please send me a PM and let me know your general availability for next week and I'll let you know if you've been chosen to help out. Also remind me if you've helped with this in the past. Thanks And for those of you who can't help with this project but still want to help the site, PLEASE spread the word about the Black Friday site to everyone you know - in person, on your Facebook page, Twitter account, other forums and web sites. Contact your local newspaper and TV stations - whatever you can do to help would be greatly appreciated! We don't ask for much, but we'd really love your help to get the word out.

C'mon guys, help out BJS. To give you motivation, I'll randomly pick someone who replies to this thread with a few terrible BF deals to win a 2013 Black Friday t-shirt.

We're out of this year's Black Friday t-shirts, but that doesn't mean the contests have to end We'll start giving away next year's Black Friday t-shirts right now. So if you are a lucky winner, I'll contact you next year to get your address/shirt size. HOW TO WIN: Let's say you were given $1,000 to buy anything in any of the posted Black Friday ads. What would you buy? Reply to this thread with the store, item name and price for each item you'd buy. Make sure you don't spend over $1,000 total (but don't worry about tax) You can view the current ads w/ prices here: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com Feel free to use items from any store, including stores which we post ads from between now and the end of the contest. Limit one entry per member. Entries will be accepted until 9pm ET on Sunday, November 18th. At that point I'll randomly choose 5 entries and those members will receive 2013 Black Friday t-shirts next year. Good luck to all!

Thanks for the ideas so far, keep them coming (and try to be specific if possible with the actual store/item/price). This is really going to help.

This is not necessarily what you are looking to buy, just what the top overall deals are this year. I get asked this in a lot of media interviews and I want to see what the GottaDeal community thinks is the best, so help me out

I bought my Generac from Amazon several years ago. At that time they had better prices than pretty much anywhere plus free delivery (very nice with something heavy like a generator).

When we get it, we'll post it...

All of the shirts won in contests this year were dropped off at the post office last night, so those are on their way to all you contest winners. They were sent first class mail, so it could take up to a week to get them depending on how far you are from me.

Most of these questions will be answered when we launch all the online BF shopping tools here on the site at the end of this week. Be patient - there is still plenty of time We're in the process of making up the schedule of start times and preparing everything you'll need to buy, discuss the sales, get alerted, etc...
