They always mention that in the letter. Never been anything special.

This contest has ended. I'll announce the winners tomorrow after I go through the responses and choose my favorites. Look for another contest soon

Details & printable coupon on their site: http://www.hpb.com/blackfriday/ We've also added the promotions to the database on the BF site: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com

Yep, and a lot of other stores will follow Walmart's lead. Unless we get the ads first....

Don't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/images/letter2012.jpg New legal firm this year. Not as threatening as years past, and no dates for when we can post it, but those dates haven't meant much in the past because it's been leaked everywhere well before then anyway.

Posted here: http://www.farmandfleet.com/promotions/flyer_detail.aspx?fid=682 There is another thread for Fleet Farm: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?270182-Fleet-Farm

This forum has enough activity now that it'll remain a forum on the site. So just keep posting and visiting and that will remain the case

Story from Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20121012-710127.html BB will only match prices on appliances and electronics hardware, such as cameras, computers, tablets, televisions, MP3 players and gaming consoles. There are 20 online retailers they will match, including Amazon, Newegg & Buy.com. No 3rd party sellers on these sites. They will only match pre-tax prices. And the big one... price matching will not be done the entire week of Black Friday.

under 2.5 hours away!

Just got this e-mail from Kohl's: Summary of expected outages this weekend: 1) Friday 10/12 starting at 11pm CST until Saturday 10/13 around 6am CST 2) Sunday 10/14 evening until Monday 10/15 morning, perhaps extending until Tuesday 10/16 They "will be experiencing site upgrades" and apparently they can't be done without taking the site down for extended periods of time... Just thought I'd share in case anyone was thinking of shopping on their site this weekend.

Black Friday is just 6 weeks from today!

We have 4 pages of the Fred's Black Friday ad posted on the BF site: Scan (PDF): http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/scans/GottaDeal-Freds-BF2012.pdf Listing: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySales/Store/Freds We're trying to obtain the other pages and will add them once we receive them.

Every time I post these pictures each year I always have a second or two of regret that I have to miss out on the craziness each year

http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/ideas/bfshirt2012.gif Another t-shirt contest! We've done this one the last few years and it's always been pretty fun, so we'll do it again. Below are 3 photos from past Black Fridays. Come up with a caption for each photo and post them in this thread. Entries will be accepted until 9pm ET on Monday, October 15th. At that point, I'll choose 3 of my favorites to win Black Friday t-shirts and then (for those of you who aren't as creative, lol) I'll choose 3 more at random from all the other entries to also win shirts, so we're going to give away 6 total t-shirts for this contest! If you've already won a BF t-shirt in a previous contest this year, you can't be selected as a winner again, but you can still feel free to post your captions. Also, while you can feel free to post more than one set of captions, there is a limit of one entry for the contest per member. Good luck and here are the photos: PHOTO #1 http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/images/caption1.jpg PHOTO #2 http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/images/caption2.jpg PHOTO #3 http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/images/caption3.jpg

Contest is closed. Winners will be announced tomorrow.

Bumping this for the new members

Hey, no stealing my volunteers!

I doubt you'll see any discount on service, but they'll have some deals on hardware. I'd expect something similar to what they had a few weeks ago - $50-100 off hardware and a free wireless adapter.

I've been here way too long...

Hope you win because the ordering period for shirts is over now unfortunately. I had to place the order with the printer so we took orders for 3 weeks and that will be it. We'll be giving away a bunch over the next 6 weeks, so keep checking the site.

It's that time where we start looking for volunteers for various Black Friday-related tasks on the site. Below you'll find some descriptions of things that we will need help with. If you want to help out, please PM me and let me know which of the items below you'd be interested in helping with along with any related experience/skills you may have. To make things easier, we have 2 jobs that we need help with: Ad Linking: We'll need several people to help link the thousands of Black Friday ad items to the product pages on the store web sites. This involves looking at the BF ad and searching for the same item on that store's site and pasting that link in a special form. You basically just need to know how to search a store's site using either the item number (if the ad shows it) or the product's name and then copy and paste. Ad Posting: We'll need several people with excellent availability (primarily during the first 3 weeks of November including early mornings and nights) and who have above-average typing skills and know how to do basic image editing (resizing, cropping, etc...). You'll be taking the scans of the ads, cropping individual items and typing up each item in the ad and uploading its picture. This one requires a little more work but you'll get to see some ads before anyone else if you can do these things. To make things easier so we don't have more than one person doing the same work, we'll set up a private forum for the helpers to get together, so if you are chosen you'll get access to that forum where we'll assign tasks and post updates. You won't be alone or feel overwhelmed - we'll hopefully have a small army of volunteers this year. These are essentially volunteer positions, but you will be rewarded for your time and efforts at the end of the year. Those of you who helped with this last year would be very welcome to help again as you all did a great job. So again, if you feel you could do one or both of these things, send me a PM. If you have any questions, you can PM me as well. Thanks
