I don't think we even had shirts back in 2005. The site wasnt too popular back then. All stuff won is sent, and if it doesn't arrive, then I'm guessing your mail carrier is using it to clean their car or something, lol.

got this e-mail through the site, so take it for what it's worth...

Haven't heard anything, but it wouldn't be surprising after the death/lawsuit last year.

As it gets closer to BF, we have a separate sub-forum just for the online BF shopping. We'll have a thread with a schedule of times when items will go on-sale online as well. Just keeping checking the forum here and you won't miss a thing.

added some new shipping codes

A netbook would run MS Word, although the cheaper netbooks in the $99-149 range won't have Windows on them - it'll likely be some flavor or Linux, so you'd have to use something like OpenOffice on them instead of Word.

From here: http://www.energy.gov/news2009/7634.htm So it sounds like whether the program will be in effect on BF depends on how proactive your state is with getting their application in and approved. Some states might start their program earlier and others might wait until they receive the $, which might not happen until after BF. The amount each state gets is based on population, so California gets $35 million, but smaller states won't even get $1 million.

Probably sometime next month.

looks like we posted it around 10/19 last year

We already have a big thread about this: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=150175 no need for another, so I'm closing this one.

FWIW, I've been contacted by quite a few major retailers about various BF-related things and none have mentioned anything like this. They are all focused on the real BF. Of course things can change, but I've heard nothing supporting this over the last few months.

The 5 winners, randomly selected from all valid entries, were: gopherpuckfan josetann arress CindyIUP diane175 Look for the next contest soon! Member(s) who correctly predicted the exact date and store for the first ad to be posted will be contacted at a later date to claim their prize. Again, the contest entry period has ended. You can feel free to continue to post predictions, but posts made after this time will not result in prizes if they are correct. Edited posts also will not be valid for the second part of the contest.

The contest is now closed. Winners to be announced soon.

A few days left... And one person who I won't embarass (but who should know better) has had their entry disqualified because they edited their post after the date of their initial guess passed to put a later date. Yes, we can see the history of all edited posts. So unless you want to be disqualified, don't edit your post!!!

The last few months they've been in the middle of the month, starting on a Thursday, so the next will start 9/10 or 9/17 most likely.

The shopping list won't open until there are ads to use it with. There is no point in opening it sooner.

Just an FYI, we'll probably be sending out the big "we're open" e-mail to the full mailing list early next week, so enjoy the forum now while you can before everyone starts finding their way back after Labor Day and it gets much busier Also putting the finishing touches on the "BF survival kits" we're going to give away this year.

Also, if anyone would like to volunteer (and has the time needed) to help keep this first post updated, please send me a PM :)

Contest time again! This one is simple: reply to this thread with the date you predict we'll post the first Black Friday ad along with the store you think the ad will be from. Only post one store and one date. If you post more than that, your entry won't count. Everyone who posts their prediction between now and September 6th at 9pm ET will be entered into a random drawing for five 4-packs of our GD reusable grocery bags. We'll randomly pick 5 winners who will each receive a 4-pack of the bags. Anyone who is correct with both the date and store will also receive an additional prize to be determined. And if you want to purchase bags or want to see pics of what they look like, see here. http://www.gottadeal.com/images/bag.gifhttp://www.gottadeal.com/images/bag.gifhttp://www.gottadeal.com/images/bag.gifhttp://www.gottadeal.com/images/bag.gif
