Contest is now closed. Winners to be announced tomorrow. Look for details on the big holiday giveaway in the next day or two...

if you want ads, go to your local stores, befriend the employees and try to get some ads early so we can post them. everyone is waiting for someone else to leak the ads - be proactive!

you all are too easy, lol.

i know something you don't know....

code is in the first post of this thread

next round of 30% off starts tonight. if anyone finds a WORKING free shipping code, be sure to post it in this thread. thanks

We got last year's letter on 10/2.

Today we received a letter via certified mail from Walmart's legal representatives stating that the release date for the Walmart Black Friday ad this year is November 23rd. The letter states that we are not allowed to post the ad until that time. Obviously we are once again disappointed with this development. However you may remember Walmart let their ad be posted a little earlier than their stated date last year, so this 11/23 date may not be set in stone. Stay tuned for further updates...

I'm sure eve (if she wants to run it again) willl post info soon.

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.
