Minor clarification from WM today: "In past years, we have informed you ahead of time of a specific authorized release date for Walmart’s Black Friday Circular and Sunday after Thanksgiving Circular. This year we will be informing our you, in writing, as soon as it is permissible to release the Walmart Black Friday Circular and Sunday after Thanksgiving Circular." So pretty much like I said, once it's leaked enough that they can't stop it, they'll let everyone post it.

There really isn't a PDF as these were just pics taken off their Facebook game. We'll have the "real" ad with a PDF soon enough.

For those who don't want to waste time playing their little Facebook game, here you go: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySales/Store/Lowes Thanks to GD visitor Justin for saving everyone the hassle

Update: On Novmber 3rd, lawyers for CVS demanded that their Black Friday ad be taken down and threatened legal action if it were not. Therefore, the CVS Black Friday ad will return to the site no later than November 20th. Please DO NOT post links of where to get it or offer to PM people links. Despite their lawyers' best efforts, the ad will likely still be relatively easy to find with a Google search, so you're on your own. Or just change the store name in another store's scan URL...

Contest is now over. Winners will be announced tomorrow (working on something else right now.... )

FYI, you might want to save the CVS ad to your computer. There's a good chance it will be gone within 24 hours...

Their shipping cost is determined by both the total order weight and the destination address, so it really depends on what you are buying (and to a lesser extent, where you live) to determine if you'll have to pay any extra.

The online trackers won't launch until the week of BF when stores start putting their BF ad items online. We'll be posting links to them all over - on the BF site, forum, Facebook, Twitter, in the e-mails sent to the mailing list. If you are connected in any way to GD, you won't miss them :)

The coupon will be available when you view the ad on TRU's weekly ad site (http://toysrus.shoplocal.com) but as of right now, it's not working and shows an error message, so they likely haven't uploaded the coupon yet.

Item listing is now complete. Items with (Free Gift Card Offer) in their title qualify for the "Free $10 gift card when you spend $30 on qualifying items" promotion.

Looks like that's from their "Contributor Network", so it could be anyone writing these pieces. Everyone here should sign up to write for them and get yourself "published" (just be sure to plug GD, hehe)

Confirmed today that the shirts have been printed and will be delivered Friday, so the first batch should go out early next week.

FYI, we already have the toy book posted on the BF site: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/MoreSales/WalmartToyBook You can also view it on Walmart.com - just go to the "local ad" section and it should be listed as one of the ads you can view.

Sure you can buy stuff online with a smartphone. Many retailers have mobile versions of their sites that load quicker, but the prices would still be the same. We have our online Black Friday sales tracker on the BF site that will work great on a smartphone as well. It has a clean, simple design that will load fast when the time comes. You can view the tracker, and then clicking on the item links will take you right to the retailer's site (usually the mobile version) to complete your purchase.
