Best Buy is opening at 5am on Black Friday. They haven't had a 5am Friday opening since 2010. Although it will be interesting to see if their BF deals will be both in-store and online on the 22nd or if that is for online only.

It shows the black available at the same price when I check. Best Buy's eBay store also has the black: https://www.ebay.com/itm/JBL-Flip-5-Portable-Bluetooth-Speaker-Black/323920385470?hash=item4b6b28d5be:g:-c0AAOSw9XhdgppJ

Also many of the deals for the first week are available today via the "Shop" link above - no need to wait for Sunday.

Scans: https://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridayScans/Costco This is their traditional holiday ad. There are sections for 11/5 to 11/19, 11/20 to 11/30, 11/27 to 11/30 (Black Friday) and a few online-only pages.

One month until Black Friday Or 8 days, or 12 days, or 20 days, or.... depending on which sale you're talking about lol

Confirmed that it will be free shipping on $25 or more this year. There will also be a 20% off coupon code (SCORE) from 11/16 to 11/23 that can be used on select items. That code will change to BLKFRI on 11/24 for the remainder of the sale.

Once a few more bigger ads are released we'll have a scheduled chat on Discord with giveaways like we did last year, so look for that soon

guessing sometime between the first two sales (maybe monday the 9th), but i have no insider info. the first 2 came out on a monday so could even be this monday but i think they'd rather have people shop the first sale before revealing the BF week ad.

Maybe I should look into getting GD snowglobes made for next year. Bring back the tradition in some way at least.

You can re-live the glory days of Black Friday with both the Black Friday Archive and of course 16 years of archived forum threads.Travel back in time to when many GD forum members called Walmart expressing outrage about their lame legal threats, when Best Buy's site would crash when their sale started pretty much every year or when GD would get front-page CNN.com stories about big ads leaking. Ahhh, the good old days. plug>

Second batch of prize packs were dropped off at the post office today so if you've won one of the last two contests, your box is on the way. With half the boxes gone we haven't run out of any shirt sizes yet, but we're getting close to running out of XL and larger. But don't worry - there's plenty more in the boxes besides the shirt even if you end up with a size that doesn't fit you.

Last year it was free shipping on $25+

I'd be surprised if they don't have additional sales during the month that this sale is taking place as well, so things like the poinsettias, etc.

Guessing we're going to get a lot of these "should we consider this their actual ad or not?" situations this year. This is a pretty long "sneak peek" as they call it which makes me believe that this is essentially their Black Friday ad and the deals show they will start 11/16 this year. So I'm treating it as their ad and if we get the actual print-style ad we'll just replace the scans if they are that different or have more deals than what is shown here.

Some updates/predictions for the bigger ads: - We will likely see the full Best Buy BF ad Wednesday night. Back when they started their first preview sale, they said the rest of their ad would come "later this month" and their current sale & BF price matching promotion ends Wednesday night. There will most likely be another early access sale for some of these newly revealed BF items Wednesday night, so be ready for that. - No inside news on the 3rd Walmart BF ad (for BF week) but my guess is that will come out during the days between the first 2 sales, so sometime around November 7th through the 10th. - As I posted in another Kohl's thread, there will be a one-day-only $15 Kohl's Cash sale on November 6th. This will likely be the day they reveal their Black Friday ad and have a one-day-only early access sale for some of the deals. It's on a Friday, which is the same day of the week as they did it last year. - Target says they will be having Black Friday deals all November long, including specially marked Black Friday deals in their weekly ads. I'd expect the first of these deals to come out in next Sunday's ad (November 1st). We should have that ad posted Friday. - Black Friday appliance deals at Home Depot and Lowe’s will likely start on November 4th and 5th respectively.

Not in the ads, but they may have promotions that they announce separately like the current one being advertised on their site: https://www.samsclub.com/content/cellular-savings?mid=hp_pov_201023_appleiphone_launch&xid=hpg_pov_1_1

I always want to do more outside decorating but that would mean doing it very early because I get so busy with the site in November that I never have time for it until Christmas is only a week or two away and at that point it feels like a waste to do it so late. I really should do some stuff in the next week or two before it gets crazy around here with all the sales.
