We don't keep the PDFs archived on the site, just the page-by-page scans on https://www.blackfridayarchive.com

Moved to our temporary Black Friday servers tonight. Please post or PM me with any issues you come across on the site or forum.

If anyone does not receive their bags by Tuesday (no mail service Monday), send me a PM and I'll check the tracking to see what's up.

They should be pretty much the exact same size, just a slight change with how the straps are sewn in. These are just for you guys - I have a few left over for myself & family members but I won't be giving any of them away. The first 2 years of this club we would start it after Cyber Monday and you'd have a few days to post in November before the list was frozen on 12/1. With BF so late this year (and Cyber Monday actually in December) I haven't officially decided when the new club will start. Since this 2019 club ends this month, I'm thinking of starting the 2020 club in the first half of November, accepting the fact that with that much time to join the club (and during the busiest time of the year) we may just have a whole bunch of members compared to the first 2 years, at least until the first few months are over and people drop off. I would just choose a prize for 2020 that won't cost me $10 to ship with that many people possibly getting one lol.

The 10 winners are: kellis4321 budgetsRsexy Bopeep starbeck96 Elmck magickallight julz0420 chester5 ISU ME MariahA Congrats and look for a PM from me soon to claim your prize. We just posted another survival kit contest on our Facebook page that runs until Sunday, so if you haven't won one yet here, you can try there. The next forum contest will start next week.

Guessing the Target thing is just for this year until they can get some inventory/distribution of their own, if they last long enough to do that.

First Discord contest of the year just posted - win a $10 Amazon gift card

https://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/MoreSales/FleetFarmToyland Also on fleetfarm.com if you'd rather check it out there. Sale starts next Saturday.

SO then why not just ship 3 bags per person? Use the left over bags for another prize package. The “rules” in the OP said it would be 4 bags if we had this amount of members, so that’s what I did. And I had already packaged 4 per bag before I realized the shipping issue.

Grocery bags are getting shipped out tomorrow. I should’ve thought about the quantities better because 4 bags pushes the weight of each package just over a pound which means no first class shipping option as they have to ship Priority Mail so I’m paying $7.50-$10 per shipment which is more than the bags themselves cost If I had more bags I could’ve sent 7 or 8 to each of you at the same shipping cost. Next year’s prize will definitely be something easier and cheaper to ship

Time for the next forum contest! To be entered to win, reply to this thread and share one or more of your past Black Friday experiences. It can be something crazy that happened, a particularly good or bad experience at a store, a great deal you scored, one of your annual Black Friday traditions - anything you want! Contest will be open until 11pm ET on Wednesday, October 9th. I will then randomly choose 10 members who entered and you'll win a Black Friday survival kit. Limit of one survival kit prize per member but if you win you are still welcome to enter future contests for fun. For more info on the Black Friday survival kits we're giving away this year (including the bonus mystery prizes inside), see this thread.

Just to clarify, the reason we decided not to have official product threads (as mentioned here) was so people could create separate threads if they wanted. So if someone wants recommendations for the best 65" 4K TV in the ads, they can feel free to create a new thread - no need to keep everything in one thread where questions/recommendation requests could get buried and be not as visible

I just sent out PMs to everyone who has qualified for the first 11 months to get your addresses for shipping out the tote bags so please reply to those PMs ASAP so I can get these sent out before things start getting too busy around here. I assume you all will complete your obligation and will also post in here in October as well

I know that at least around here, the Sunday newspaper that used to have 20+ sale ads during the year is down to like 5 or 6. That number inevitably increases as Q4 arrives but it seems that as both newspaper circulation and the number of retail chains still in business diminishes, the printed ad is quickly going away. Retailers are moving their promotions online and through targeted email and (to a lesser extent) direct mail. Glad I saved all those old soon-to-be-extinct Black Friday sale ads from the last 15 years or so.

Big thread about it on their own forum here. I assume they'll have an actual printed ad for BF but you never know - could be online only.

Time for the next forum contest! To be entered to win, reply to this thread with at least one item you are hoping to score a deal on this year and the price/discount you hope to see in the ads (or online) for it. Feel free to post more than one item if you'd like. Contest will be open until 11pm ET on Monday, September 30th. I will then randomly choose 10 members who entered and you'll win a Black Friday survival kit. Limit of one survival kit prize per member but if you win you are still welcome to enter future contests for fun.

Apparently if you change your location in the Target app to one of the test markets (Charlotte, Denver, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Phoenix) a prompt should appear that lets you sign up for Circle early.
