Keep it going, halfway to the magic #200 number for double prizes

Another update: while we wait for the shirts to be printed, I printed shipping labels for everyone who has either bought or won a shirt. Good news: all of you will get your first choice of size Bad news: I'm basically out of 2XL's for future contests. I'll have a few left but I have to hold those in case there are shipping issues. So for future contests, you'll have your choice of large or XL only. I may have larger (and smaller) sizes left in the regular GD shirts, so if you win a BF shirt and can't use a L or XL, let me know and maybe we can substitute a regular GD shirt in your preferred size.

It's possible, but that fact that they throw in the "select" means they'll probably exclude models like the Keurigs. The best deal on Keurigs will probably again be at Kohl's with the various coupon codes that will be available on BF.

FYI, we've posted deals for these for $34.99 a few times during the summer, so there's a good chance that you'll be able to get them even cheaper over the next 2 months if you don't want to buy now.

It's t-shirt time! This one will be the easiest one yet. Simply reply to this thread with your favorite thing about about Black Friday. For you forum lurkers, this is a great chance to make your first post. Register for a free account if you don't have one and post away (registering will also get rid of those annoying ads). The contest will run until 8pm ET on Thursday. At that point I'll randomly choose 5 winners who will receive Black Friday t-shirts. If we can get at least 200 people to reply to the thread, I'll double the number of prizes to 10 t-shirts!, so send this page to your friends/family, post it on Facebook, etc... http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/bfshirt2011.gif

Comfirmed: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=84477&p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=1623548 They also revealed 15 of their BF ad items (see the link above)

IIRC, Walmart had deals that were good from midnight to close on Friday, but the "real" doorbusters were still from 5-11. Walmart got away with it because their stores are huge. Target/BB - not so much in most cases.

I think TRU had 2 sets - one from 10pm to 1pm and the other set from 5am to 1pm. Like you said, that works for them, but it wouldn't work so well for a Walmart or Best Buy. They'd almost have to clear the store out before the second set started, otherwise you'd have people "camping out" inside the store from 10pm or midnight until the next doorbusters started.

You all should have been on the board last week. We had a 24-hour "flash sale". Now you'll have to try and win one :)

Hoping to miss the show tonight because I have the Sears ad to type up... (no, I don't actually have it yet, haha)

What exactly happens? I'll forward the info to the developers.

OK, the 5 winners for this contest are: mrsgrizzle connieh Illinoismom smtowngrl Kristinshops Congrats, and look for a PM from me soon. Next contest coming soon :)

Hopefully the online sales start earlier so everyone can get some stuff online before they have to leave for the stores.

Heard the Sears ad has been "spotted" so it's just a matter of time...

Another update: because of the sale we had, the printer had to have more blank shirts shipped in, so the shirts won't finish printing until Monday at the earliest. You'll still have them in plenty of time for BF, just not in the next few days.

I wasn't expecting much. Pretty much on the level of all their 2-day "online-only" sales that they run every month or so. Still too early for them to bring out the "real" deals...

sale has started

The sale items have been posted, but those aren't the sale prices. The prices will change at midnight ET.

7 pages of coupons from their toy coupon & wish-list book. Thanks to our own nisha98 for sending this over :) Scan (PDF): http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/scans/GottaDeal-TargetToyCoupons-BF2011.pdf

Just got this from BB directly: LINK TO SALE http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/images/bbmidnight.gif

FYI, this is not the complete catalog. It's only around 20 pages of it, so don't bother downloading it if you are looking for the full book.
