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.

wow, nice move BB.

HOW TO WIN: This was a popular contest the last couple of years so we'll do it again: post a recipe for your favorite holiday dessert. Whether it's Christmas cookies, a pie for Thanksgiving or anything else you'd like, share the recipe with everyone here. Hopefully it's something you've made every year that you love, or if you are "baking-challenged", find a recipe that sounds good and post that one. Feel free to tell everyone why it's so good and/or include pics to make everyone hungry. I have hidden the previous years' threads so you can't just copy and paste a previous entry (not that any of you would be that lazy, lol), so if you entered in the past 2 years, try to find another recipe to use this year to keep things fresh. You can post as many recipes as you'd like (please try to keep them all in one post if possible), but each person will only get one entry for the drawing. Entries will be accepted until 8pm ET on Friday. At that point I'll randomly select 5 winners from all eligible entries and they will each win a Black Friday t-shirt! Good luck to all! http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/bfshirt2011.gif

If you are OK with a L or XL size, then you can get one - just follow the instructions above. Other sizes might not be available, so I don't want to have you pay for one only to not be able to send it.

I replied to your PayPal order e-mail, so check that address. It was sent Sunday. Either way, your order is confirmed.

More than 1, less than 100.
