They don't give us any advance notice of these unfortunately.

Details: https://corporate.target.com/article/2017/12/green-monday

I'm guessing when the next 30% starts on the 10th that they'll have Kohl's Cash again. Don't know if it'll be all the way until the 24th or if it'll end sooner than that.

We did those back in 2011 but we can always bring 'em back. I'd also like to do something during Black Friday "season" next year and have all the BF mods participate as well. Just need to come up with a theme that works for so many people.

Amazon Toy Clearance Deal Posting Thread As we approach the end of the holiday season, it's time for GottaDEAL members to start shopping for great toy clearance deals on Amazon! 1) Please only post toy deals that qualify for free Super Saver Shipping or Amazon Prime shipping. 2) Deals that are part of their Lightning Deals are not clearance deals. Those belong in their own thread. 3) You are able to post more than 1 toy in each post, you can separate the deals if you'd like in your post 4) When posting a toy deal find, please remember to post the following: The toy name, the price (including the original price along with the sale price is preferred) and most importantly, a link to the toy on Amazon. So let's get to posting Amazon toy finds! If you have questions on how to post the deals, please feel free to send me a PM or post your question over in the Discuss GottaDEAL sub-forum. Last year's thread for reference: http://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/279857-amazon-toy-clearance-deal-thread-2018-19-edition/

Would be a shame if I accidentally lock this thread on October 31st... Seriously, keep checking this thread often as I'll probably use this thread to come up with a design for the t-shirt next year - I'll probably post some ideas and we can have an informal vote on designs, shirt colors, etc...

I'm pretty sure you just have to subscribe to their email updates and they'll send them. Usually when they have the 30%/20%/15% codes for cardholders they'll also send a email the last day of the sale with 40%/30%/20% "mystery" codes. I hear you can also sign up multiple email addresses for Kohl's emails and get multiple codes to increase your chances at 40% codes...

I actually special ordered BF shirts with the same design this year for my 2-month old nephew and 2- and 3-year old nieces so their whole family would match on BF

I might randomly post giveaways in here throughout the year - first "club member" to see this post and send me a PM gets an Amazon GC or something, just to keep everyone coming beyond the 1st of each month

That's covered in the first post. Central Time.

68 so far... Did I mention that all the shirts won in this contest will be size extra-extra-extra small? Does that de-motivate any of you?

$300 max per “household” but I don’t think that’s really enforced, at least in store. Gift cards won’t be active until Monday morning

20% here. You used to be able to consistently buy 40% codes on eBay for around $2-3 (which was a deal if you were going to spend a good amount at Kohl's) but the cheapest I see now for this round is $7, so maybe they didn't send out as many 40% codes as they usually do so the supply/demand has caused prices to rise.

Yeah that whole week is crazy. There's a reason this year's t-shirts had "Deals Week 2017" on the back. Pretty much from the Monday before Thanksgiving (when Kohl's starts) until the following Monday (Cyber Monday) it's just nothing but deals online.

OK, time for the announcement of winners, but first some info: There were 5,706 entries which includes double bonus entries for all posts made in the "Online Black Friday Sales" sub-forum. A total of 465 members had entries in the contest this year. The entries were spot out randomly from the database, then randomized again on random.org. The first 5 post ID #'s returned were chosen as the 5 winners (luckily all 5 were unique members).

http://news.adobe.com/press-release/experience-cloud/adobe-data-shows-cyber-monday-largest-online-sales-day-history-659 Thanksgiving $2.87 billion Black Friday $5.03 billion Saturday & Sunday $5.12 billion Cyber Monday $6.59 billion Up around 14% from last year for Thursday-Monday and up 17% for entire month of November. The entire article has some interesting insights on popular items, best discounts, etc. Always surprised Thanksgiving is so low compared to the rest as most of the BF deals start early Thursday morning and many deals are sold out by Friday.

For online shopping: According to figures from Adobe Analytics, customers spent a record-high $5 billion on Black Friday alone, compared to $3.34 billion last year. At the time of writing, a 16.5% increase in sales for Cyber Monday is expected by Adobe. However, despite the rise in online shopping, it seems that the slowdown in physical store sales hasn’t been as severe as expected. ShopperTrak said that preliminary data indicate a 1.6% decline in foot traffic to retail stores on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, although the decline on Black Friday alone was less than 1%.

Maybe if you win a shirt from this you can still enter the other contests and the prize would be a $5 Amazon GC or something. I'll have to think about it. Plus most of the contests will take place in October, before anyone "officially" wins one from this contest.
