The guy from Meijer who we've been dealing with said last week that the TG/BF ads were going to be sent this week. Guess that was a lie...

You guys are killing the servers, lol. Keep the refreshing to a minimum so I don't have to close things again...

Same here. Doesn't look that strong after the first page.

space bar broken?

Sure wish I had a Target ad I could post.......... hehe

As for online, be careful. A lot of times a few days before BF they'll load special SKUs into the system for the BF ad items, so the items you are adding now might not be the actual items that you can order on BF. I'd wait until Monday or Tuesday of BF week and then add the items to your cart. FYI, top 15 items based on what people are adding to their shopping lists on the BF site: 1. Assorted DVD Movies (Hall Pass, Marley & Me, The Hangover, More) - $1.96 2. Assorted Wii, Xbox, PS3 Games (Call of Duty 4, Wheel of Fortune, Toy Story 3) - $15 3. Boys or Girls 2-Piece Character Sleep Set - $4.47 4. Cotton Bath Towel - $1.28 5. Assorted Wii, Xbox, PS3 Games (Call of Duty Black Ops, Cars 2, FIFA Soccer 12) - $28 6. Assorted DVD Movies (Zookeeper, Horrible Bosses, Avatar) - $9 7. Assorted Blu-ray Movies (Blind Side, 300, Inception, More) - $5 8. Assorted Wii, Xbox, PS3 Games (Deal or No Deal, UFC 2010, Shrek) - $10 9. Boys' Hanes Boxer Briefs, Socks or Crew Tees - $3.97 10. Assorted TV DVD Sets (Two and a Half Men, Bones, Burn Notice) - $10 11. Rubbermaid 30-Piece Easy-Find Lids Storage Set - $6.88 12. Assorted Board Games (Monopoly, Connect 4, More) - $6.88 13. Men's Hanes Underwear Bonus Pack - $4.97 14. Xbox Live 3-Month Subscription Card - $12 15. Assorted Blu-ray Movies (A-Team, Bourne Identity, Fast Five, More) - $10

I think last year they posted it on their site before it was leaked anyway. (big Lots)

I hold a grudge against Big Lots because they sent their lawyers after us years ago and we're really dickish about it, so I doubt we'll post it anyway

11 new ads, 11 minutes of sleep for me

There is a good chance the TV will be online, but they likely won't have a large quantity, so you'll have to be fast.

Some of the stuff that'll be a part of the GD warehouse sale: http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/gdprizepack.jpg

I have 5 of these "sample" hoodies that a printing company sent me: http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/hoodie.jpg The color is a little more blue than the pic shows. Really basic, just the logo embroidered, nothing on the back. I need to give those away sometime... If we ever do hoodies they'll be a little more exciting.

Mouse pads and a few car magnets will be a part of the "GD Warehouse Sale" in the coming weeks. I have some stuff that I only have a few of (from samples, etc...) so there will be some stuff nobody has seen before...

Yep, the new stuff will be given out throughout the year, not just during BF season. Gotta reward those who stick around all year

OK, time for the final t-shirt contest of the year (I can hear the boos from the crowd). I'd love to keep going, but I have to stop the contests early enough to make sure everyone gets their shirts in time for BF. We'll make this last one very simple: Reply to this thread letting me know what kind of GottaDeal "swag" I should consider ordering for 2012 giveaways (besides BF t-shirts of course). Let me know what stuff you'd like to win and I'll use that input when I decide which new goodies to order. I'll take replies until Monday, 11/14 @ 9pm ET. At that point I'll randomly choose 15 winners to win the final BF t-shirts. If you've already won a shirt, you can't win another one, but feel free to reply with your ideas as well :) Good luck to everyone! http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/bfshirt2011.gif Also, speaking of GD swag, shortly after BF, we're going to have a "GD Warehouse Sale" where I hope to get rid of all the existing GD merchandise I have so I can make room for new stuff. You'll be able to fill up a box full of stuff and basically just pay the cost of shipping, so be sure you stick around after BF for that. T-shirts, reusable grocery bags, LED keychains, calculators and much, much more.

Patience is one thing that Target should have in their ad, because all of you need it...
