Through one of our many contests, like this one: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?187848-Complete-Tasks-amp-Win-Black-Friday-GottaDeal.com-T-Shirts!

It says what the shipping details are in the first post. The 26" has 97 cent shipping, but the rest have regular shipping rates or free site-to-store.

Rack Room Shoes sent this over. They aren't in every part of the country, but here you go for anyone interested:

I'll send you a PM now with details.

We were just told that these are the 6 deals from the sale that should be available online in addition to in-stores: PlayStation 3 320GB Console w/ Move Bundle & Bonus $50 eGift Card - Event Price $399 Vizio 26" Class RAZOR LED LCD HDTV, M260VA - Event Price $198 (Currently: $298, 97 cent shipping) Vizio 32" Class LCD 720p 60Hz HDTV, E320VL – Event Price $298 (Currently: $358, Free Site to Store Shipping) Vizio 42" Class LCD 1080p 60Hz HDTV, E420VO - Event Price $498 (Currently: $548, Free Site to Store Shipping) Vizio 47" Class LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV, E470VL - Event Price $698 (Currently: $798, Free Site to Store Shipping) Vizio 55" Class LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV, E550VL - Event Price $898 (Currently: $1,098, Free Site to Store Shipping) Nothing definite, but the online sale should start shortly after midnight PST Friday night. Nothing was mentioned about the other deals such as the laptop, so I wouldn't expect those to be available online, but you never know with Walmart...

There have been a lot of stuff. It's mostly thanks to the nice deals of the day that 4imprint.com has. They have deals on lower-quantity stuff so it makes it easy to try new stuff without either paying a fortune or having to order thousands of something to get a good deal.

Speaking of GD merch, here are a few of the new things we'll be giving away once BF is over: http://gottadeal.com/images/merch/newmerch.jpg

So there will be 20-25 items from the BF ad posted on Facebook late Thursday night/Friday morning. The full ad will be posted on Monday (unless we get it sooner). As for the items coming tomorrow night, a few we know about are a Skil miter saw, a Tradesman table saw, a 14-gal. Shop-vac and a Black & Decker drill/saw/flashlight kit. No exact prices, but the discounts off regular prices will be in the 40-65% range for these 4 items.

You can enter, you just can't win

Contest ends tomorrow. Not many entries yet, so this is as good of a chance as you're going to get to get a shirt this year most likely...

The 2 links you posted go to the same picture. You should post a link to the 2nd picture if you want 2 entries.

Start now! What the worst that can happen - they say "no, it's too early"

We're hoping to get the "sneak peek" from Lowes before the Facebook announcement, so stay tuned...

I had a nightmare that it was November 3rd and none of the big ads had been posted yet. It was awful.

we definitely don't want you to type it all up, but is there any way you can scan or take pics of each page and send it to us?

Home Depot sent an e-mail a couple weeks ago threatening legal action if their ad was posted, so their ad may or may not be posted early...

http://www.gottadeal.com/images/bfshirt.gif HOW TO WIN: These tasks were part of a very popular contest we've done the last two years. To be entered into this contest, all you have to do is complete at least one of these tasks. If you do more than one of the five, you'll get additional entries, one for each completed task (max 5 entries). Task #1: Design an actual holiday ornament featuring GottaDeal.com somehow. Take it to a store that has Christmas trees on display. Hang the ornament on the tree and take picture(s). Be sure at least one of the pictures proves that the tree is located at an actual store. Leave the ornament on the tree. Task #2: Make a sign saying "I Love GottaDeal.com!". Go to a store that we traditionally post the Black Friday ad from (Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, Sears, Kmart are some examples). Find an employee to agree to hold the sign while you take their picture. Make sure the employee "looks" like a real employee (store shirt, etc...). Task #3: Create a flyer for Black Friday @ GottaDeal.com - the kind with the little strips of paper on the bottom that people can tear off (like this) - and post it on a bulletin board at a public place. Be creative with your flyer design! Take a picture of the flyer on the bulletin board. Task #4: Print out this GottaDeal logo. Take it to 3 of your local "landmarks" (however you define them) and take a picture of the logo somewhere near/with/on each of the 3 landmarks. Task #5: Make a Black Friday-related YouTube video. Be sure to mention GottaDeal.com in your video and include a link to the Black Friday site in the description for your video. Post a link to the video in this thread. Entries will be accepted until 10pm ET on Thursday. At that point I'll randomly select 10 winners from all eligible entries (from members who haven't yet won a shirt) and they will each win a Black Friday t-shirt! If you need help posting pictures, see this thread. If you don't have enough posts to post pictures yet, send them directly to gottadeal.com [at] gmail [dot] com. These all require some effort, so if you have the motivation, you've got a good chance of winning a shirt as there likely won't be as many entries as the other "easier" contests we've been having. Good luck to all! And if you need some inspiration, here are the threads from 2009 and 2008. And don't even try to re-use an old picture...

Another shipping update: I just got back from the post office where I dropped off all the shirts (and grocery bags) that I had addresses for as of a couple hours ago, so if you've won a shirt and have sent me your address, it's on its way to you :) I'll probably do the next shipment in another week or two, so if you haven't sent me your address yet, yours will be in the next batch.

The 10 winners of the "costume" part of the contest, randomly selected, are: peekaboo Docdurr imginah codeblue AuntieJul kimmie0712 B&H MonsterMutts nhughes Mandy25 Congrats and look for a PM from me. Another contest will start soon...

Good enough for me :)

How is this pumpkin related to GD or Black Friday?
