I hate when ads show stuff then prices like "starting at". Not that I would have planned a trip anyways, but no way I'm heading into a store for a sale not knowing what the prices are. Almost as bad as mail in rebates.
-
Congrats to the winners. I forgot to enter my favorite contests, but oh well. Maybe next year. I guess I could still go through and do one, but I didn't see a lot I wanted this year anyways. Thanks for running all the contests Brad.
-
Looks like they got the "Beyond" covered, but not much in the way of "Bed" or "Bath".
-
I found a couple things, but overall, eh. I think there is good prices on stuff, but most of it is stuff I'm not in the market for. I wonder how cheap TV's would be if all of them weren't Smart TV's or had Roku built in.
-
I was thinking the same on the K-cups, but also saw the B1G1 Free offer as well so, that one seems a lot better. Overall not a bad ad. I never shop at Staples, but this seemed like a pretty good ad. If I still needed an external hard drive, I'd be really excited to get one of those deals, but I hardly use the 1TB I have now.
-
Eh, glad I finally got to see it, but not one I'm going out of my way for.
-
I'm not sure how I missed this for a week, but I am officially joining in again this years. Its been fun telling stories and reading others stories and advice and overall banter each month.
-
I never thanked you for when I got my package which was one of the first batches I assume. I didn't get any extras with it, but I was still beyond excited when it showed up and have been using the stuff ever since.
-
I still love coming to the site, but I haven't looked at all the smaller ads like I usually do. I saw Music & Arts ad was posted and realized "I'm good". I'm still happy they got posted, but I guess since I don't have the budget I know I won't get anything much. Plus a lot of the stores are nowhere near me or I've never ordered online from them. I'm glad for the season to be here though, so its the shopping that I'm not getting into the mood for yet. I know I'll still head to Walmart though and I'll have a blast. I think as we draw closer, it will feel a lot more like every other year and I'll get into the mood.
-
Usually I have no interest in the JCP ad, but I have to admit, I see a couple deals on there. I still hate mail in rebates, but I might bite the bullet for a couple things.
-
That's a lot to look through. I'll browse it more later, but really just curious about the movies, so I'll see what they have. Thanks for gathering all that up Brad.
-
Hoping to find some good deals on movies. I saw a couple but oh well. Hoping to find a good deal on a 4 slice toaster, so we'll see if another store can deliver. Overall not a bad ad though, so it gets a thumbs up from me.
-
I thought about using a free trial to Amazon during Prime Day in July, but decided to wait until November to sign up. I'll probably do it in the next few days or a couple weeks in case they have more deals before Christmas.
-
Used my bags today when I went grocery shopping. They worked great, can't wait to use them again.
-
Chiming in to say I got my bags today as well. These seem bigger than the last ones I remember from Gottadeal. These will come in extra handy, thanks!

Has anyone heard anything about ATSC 3.0 or recently dubbed "Nex GenTV" ready televisions for sale in the US yet? I know a few markets are testing the ability for it and I'm in no rush to get TV's but I thought I heard some would be for sale this year. I know Sinclair is making devices you can use with older TV's but I thought even ATSC 3.0 TV's on the market could lower the price of older TV's as well.
-
Thank you. That happy post with a month full of birthdays turned sad pretty quick. On the bright side, I found out Pluto added 12 new channels including 24hour Baywatch and American Gladiators (the old ones), so I'll probably hibernate for the rest of the year and relive my youth!

Checking in for October, a month filled with many birthdays. My sister would be 42 this month if it wasn't for cervical cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month but I feel sad for those with other types of cancer that get overlooked. By the way January is Cervical Cancer Awareness month. I have about 2-3 friends birthdays on October 2nd, so I better get ready to give them a ring. Sadly though the date in recent years has been scarred into me as it was the date another friend of mine committed suicide. We had gone our separate ways in the years leading up to it, but it hurt me so much hearing the news. I cried more at his funeral than I did at other family members. If you know someone who's feeling down in the dumps, have a little chat with them. Maybe its just a bad day, maybe its a bad year, but without talking with them, a bad day turns into a bad year, which could turn into something much worse. Sorry to bring everyone down this month, but Fall has this stigma of death for me, my dad passed in September a couple weeks after somebody else I knew passed. In November my grandpa passed while I was a Senior in high school, and a few years later a close family friend passed on Black Friday. My dad and I had talked to him just hours earlier that morning as I wrapped up BF shopping. Later that day someone checked on him at his farm and he had a heart attack and passed. Maybe that's why I hang around this site so much during BF season because it takes my mind off stuff. Maybe this site is my therapy, my way to cope with the season. Even though I don't buy much on Black Friday anymore, it is still soothing to come to Gottadeal and see the new ads and occasionally join in on the banter on the Holiday forums. Thank you Brad and everyone else that makes this site great! Closing on a positive note, maybe we'll see our first ad soon!

The weather here has been inconsistent. Its really windy today and they think we could get tornadic storms tonight. Then again they've mentioned rain most the week and we haven't gotten more than a few drops.
-
From the sounds of it, I'm glad I only use the free one month trial once a year I only use it to take advantage of watching shows (still need to see the newest season of Sneaky Pete), and if I know I need to order something and don't want to wait for it. I've had the option to use the free trial since Prime Day, but decided to hold off. Maybe I'll sign up around Black Friday in case they have some good deals then.

It's sad to see them stop weekly ads, but I've noticed they haven't put new flyers out on Flipp for a while, so I guess I was aware already. I haven't been to a Best Buy in probably 8 years though so I guess it doesn't matter to me much, though I have bought items during Black Friday online from them. To me its funny that Dollar Tree still has ads from time to time. EVERYTHING'S $1, now look at 4 pages of stuff we sell! At least I can count on Menard's having anywhere between 2-6 ads out a week, so there's that.
-
Yeah, I've kept my eye on it some. By then I'm not sure how much I'd play consoles but I'd be glad if they made it again. If the NCAA works it out, I'd also like to see a return of the basketball series.
-
After having on online order problem with Gamestop a few years ago I haven't shopped online since. I don't go near the stores all that much last few years, but didn't find much the last few times I went anyways. That's on me though since I still use a xbox 360 and don't plan to upgrade to a newer console. I hardly play games much these days. Maybe if they made a new NCAA football game I'd reconsider.
-
Those all sound like great prizes. In fact I've thought about getting a few of those items already (except for the Nest, but still wouldn't be a bad prize).
-
Never been to one because none are close to me, but I'm a bit surprised they didn't try to stay open through the holiday season at least.
