The first ad has landed! Please join me in welcoming the first products for the charts as well as our brand new chart for 2018... Drones from True Value! Drones are becoming more and more popular every year and it looks like they'll be hovering into a big hit thanks to Black Friday shoppers.

PC monitors. As a tech guy I always end up being short one right before Black Friday and have to look for a new one.

I, too, got my GottaDeal 15 year anniversary t-shirt today! I'll just add that to my other dozen GD t-shirts in my closet As others have said, thanks Brad for all you do!

When do I put up my Christmas wall and window decorations? I never took them down since last Christmas! How easy is that? Still have my lil' Charlie Brown tree packed away so I might be putting that up on my computer desk right after Thanksgiving.

I'll save my 'Thanks Brad' for my November post

Oh, what the heck. Count me in for the first time

I remember a VERY long time ago (about 2007-ish) during Black Friday season when McDonald's and Best Buy did their Monopoly Best Buy Bucks promotion. That's when you might've heard the term 'dumpster diving' for those BBB. You'd find people at their local McD's jumping into their garbage bins throughout the evening looking for those unpeeled drink cups with $1-$5 tickets on them. Who knows what else they found in there Surprised more people weren't like me and just send hundreds of envelopes to the promotion and got all my BBB in the mail for an external hard drive on Black Friday.

Time to divulge your secret cookie recipes for Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas or for everyday munching! What are YOUR cookie recipes for the holidays? I don't have any recipes to share myself but I can't get enough of press cookies during the holidays. So I'll be keeping an eye out in this thread VERY closely

Because curious minds want to know! What is the most unusual/weirdest/downright strangest thing you've ever seen in your history of Black Friday shopping? And no, paper money doesn't count

Just bumping this as we're getting ready for the first ad to drop soon!

Is it Black Friday yet?

No, no, no... Star Trek is the soap opera. Star Wars is Dukes of Hazard in outer space.

It's that time of year again! Time for the... (cue theme song)... GottaDeal 2018 Black Friday Product Charts! I'm now making the official call for volunteers for this year's charts. If you'd like to volunteer to help put the charts together this year please send me a PM. It's pretty simple. As each ad comes in you'll be responsible for logging in to a special website where you'll enter all the items with some detailed information (item's description, price, store, type, resolution, etc) for a particular product. Some are fairly easy, others may require more research and effort. It all depends on how much time you're willing to put in. You'll be granted access to a special forum where we have a lil' community of volunteers who all help each other out every year so you won't be alone. These charts have been extremely popular among Black Friday shoppers among this site and all around the country every year, and I expect them to be even more so this year so I'll need lots of help putting them together. This year's product charts, as well as all of the charts from previous years for comparison, will still be located at http://blackfridaycharts.com. Have a look at a special anniversary message with their past history, how they came to be, all mixed in with a lil' bit of me: http://blackfridaych...om/MyStory.html Let the Black Friday madness 'officially' begin!

Everyone in the Carolinas or in Florence's way please stay safe and dry.

(YAWNS.... LOOKS AT ALARM CLOCK....) ... oh, look at that... it's almost time for Black Friday And happy September everyone!

Brad, perhaps we need another list of folks who are still in the 'Club' once August is out this Saturday. Where has the month gone? Oh, and info sent

Another dent on the infamous ban hammer well earned once again! As the above have said, thanks Brad for this place and for keeping it safe from the evil spammers
