Why does anyone go nuts over any of these ads? lol BTW, here is where the ad will likely be posted: http://goto.gd/BF You shouldn't have to deal with Facebook at all. We'll also immediately copy it over to the BF site and start typing it up.

Don't bother, lol. I'm trying to get an early copy just so we can type up the listing ahead of time, but we wouldn't post it early. You can wait a few hours

Yep, looks like it's the full ad unless their Facebook admin got bad info, lol.

Update: Walmart just announced that all of their "Amazing Online Specials" will now qualify for their new "Home Free" free shipping when you spend $45 total.

That's what I thought, but then I checked and CNN revealed the ad last year on the 13th and we posted in 2 days later. Maybe they figure it'll get leaked in the next few days anyway - might as well be the ones controlling it and get those web site hits and Facebook "likes" themselves.

Oh I know they sell them - just that I've never seen them in a BF ad.

Looks like the ad will be posted on their normal "in store ads" page, so you won't need Facebook. But we'll post it here soon after anyway.

Yep. I could post last year's ad, change a few electronics and toy items and most wouldn't know the difference

FYI, I merged your thread with the main one talking about this promotion.

Spoiler alert: here's the preview No-name small kitchen appliances: somewhere between $3 and $4 That's it Seriously though, I'm working my contacts to try and find out how extensive the preview will be.

The big question is, will this be the entire ad, or just a few select items?

Best Buy will likely have both of those as well. They seem to have it in their BF ad each year.

6am seems soooooo late now, haha. Someone could go to Walmart, go to Best Buy, go to Target, come home, sleep for 4 hours, and still be at Staples before they open

There also 10 winners that will be picked at random, so even posting one deal makes you eligible for those ten $100 prizes.

Since when does Walmart have guns in their BF ad? lol And what about all the non-electronics items (toys, home, apparel, etc...)?

Full ad has now been posted. So much for Staples' own "preview", haha. New thread: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?237169-Staples-Black-Friday-Ad-Posted

Sorry, whatever is left is going to be given away over the next week or so.
