2 months until Black Friday

First t-shirt contest of the year and it's one of the classics! To be entered, reply to this thread with a caption for each of these 3 classic Black Friday photos: Contest will be open until 11:59pm CT on Wednesday, October 9th. I will then randomly choose 5 members who entered and you'll each win a limited edition Black Friday t-shirt! Good luck to everyone! PHOTO #1 PHOTO #2 PHOTO #3 ----- And in case you didn't see it, here is this year's shirt design:

Scans: https://gottadeal.com/scans/walmart-toy-catalog Shop Toys: https://gottadeal.com/sale/walmart-toy-catalog Special thanks to ytmomof4 for sending this one to me so I could get it posted.

If anyone got the book in the mail and is willing to scan/take pics of all the pages and send them to me so I can post them, send me a message here on the forum.

Glad to see the positive reaction. Since we're still over 2 months from BF I may be able to order a few more. No promises though.

You may remember that we didn't give away t-shirts last year due to some unforeseen events that took up much of my time. This year we will be giving away some fun t-shirts on a limited basis. Introducing this year's Black Friday t-shirt: This year's shirt pokes fun at the common sentiment that Black Friday has passed it's usefulness and has nods to some of the stores we've lost along the way since GottaDEAL first started covering Black Friday. The shirts will be given away in our traditional forum contests so be on the lookout for the first contest in the next week or two but know that they will be extremely limited compared to past years, so be sure to enter every contest that pops up if you want the best chance of winning one.

DISCUSS BLACK FRIDAY & WIN 1 OF 2 APPLE IPADS! Time for our annual forum contest. We covered our first Black Friday here on GottaDEAL two decades ago, so we've got two prizes this year instead of one! Here's how it works: Through Monday, December 9, 2024 at 11:59:59pm EST, you'll earn one entry into the contest every time you post in one of the Black Friday and holiday shopping-related forums including this main Black Friday Discussion forum and the Sale & Ad Discussion sub-forum. As usual we're not going to require your posts to be a certain length to qualify or anything like that - we just want a lot of great discussion. We know there are times when a one-word reply is fine. All posts in nearly all threads in these forums will count, including other contest threads. However, posts in the GD Prize Club threads will not count. So create interesting threads, reply to other members' questions, give your opinions on everything that is being discussed. This is a discussion board - let's have some interesting discussion here! On Tuesday, December 10, 2024 we will randomly select two lucky winners from all eligible entries and you will each win a brand new Apple iPad 9th Generation Tablet. Prize must be claimed by replying to the winner notification PM here on the forum by January 31, 2025 or prize will be forfeited. And as a benefit to those who were here early this year, all the posts in the forums up until now (again, aside from the prize club thread) will also count towards this contest. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to answer them.

Sent everyone still eligible for a prize a message requesting your address so be sure to reply to that when you get a chance.

With so many different sales happening throughout October, November and December it can be a little overwhelming to keep track of everything. We have several ways to stay updated with all the new ads and sales that we post: 1. Sign up for our email newsletter. We'll email you about the latest sales and ads as well as the best deals we're finding throughout Q4. 2. Follow the Sale & Ad Discussion forum. On this page, there will be a light blue "Follow" button (on the top of the page if you're on a tablet/desktop and on the bottom of page if you're on a phone). You can get notified when we post new threads in this forum for each ad, sale or catalog. 3. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook , Instagram and/or Threads. We'll post updates on these accounts including when we post new ads or learn about upcoming sales. 4. Bookmark our Black Friday news page and check it regularly for the latest updates. This page also will have a list of ads we've posted, upcoming sales and more.

How do you think this year will compare with recent years as far as number of sales, quality of deals, sale formats, etc? Do you think the election will cause retailers to shift their sale dates in any way? Black Friday also falls on the 29th, which is the latest possible day (and gives retailers much less time between BF and Christmas) so will that cause sales to start even earlier? What items do you think we'll see the best deals on this year? What items are you hoping to score deals on? Share your thoughts and remember that posts in this forum qualify for the giveaways we'll be having this year (more on that soon).
