While online shopping may change my plans, I plan to wait in line at Staples for my new desktop. (I will likely stop at Walmart on my way home from Thanksgiving dinner at my in-laws.) From there, I will hit Home Depot (same shopping center) and probably do Kohls.

I noticed a couple things today. First, a few Sears and K-Mart stores near me are closing and liquidation sales begin 12/02. Should be fun. Second, if you preview NEXT WEEKS Staples flyer, the last page appears to link to a BF ad preview. Does nothing now, but should be active Sunday. 2020 is my last year as a Staples Rewards member. Too much work. Too little gain. BUT, I will be buying a new desktop there on BF.

Today is the day!

Hater!

@Brad, this is going to cost you a fortune!

I miss the old thread. What did we finish with? 36? 1204 posts. I think we can do better! (Especially if the prize is a t-shirt,)

How is it that we do not have gottadeal BF 'starter jackets'? 'if you can read this' on the back, this on the front... http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/2015design.png Blue with orange trim. Probably still time for 2019...

https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Fox-Wireless-TV-Speakers/dp/B00A2KFOL8/ For my mother-in-law who is hard of hearing and hates her hearing aids, these speakers give her adequate volume at her seat while others enjoy television at a lower volume at theirs.

A chromebook is a low power device which runs chrome (a browser) as its operating system. It is designed to browse web pages. A laptop is a more general use computer which runs Microsoft's Windows, Apple's MacOS, or some flavor of Linux/Unix/Android. It is more powerful and better suited for running programs.

It really isn't. Every time I line a trash can with a re-purposed plastic bag, I eliminate the need for Glad to manufacture one in China, ship it across the globe, and sell it to me. Massachusetts has banned plastic bags, so I bring my spares to work in Lynn Massachusetts and share them as FREEDOM BAGS. Use Less, Re-Use, Recycle. BTW, the Glad bags you pay for end up in the same land fill as my FREEDOM BAGS.

from https://www.wepc.com/benchmark/fortnite-system-requirements/ Shop for a laptop with a dedicated GPU that is at least as good as the GTX 660 or HD7870. I'd be looking for an Nvidia GTX-Ti1050/1060.

^^^^ I would set the floor at 8GB of RAM and current or last gen i5. You won't spend much more now and you will be happy with the machine for a lot longer.

Great contest. Are we going to do this EVERY Friday? So much has changed in 13 years. Maybe time for people to stop complaining about the ads? TVs and DVDs are relatively expensive. The best deals were on low tech gifts. The Star Wars/Transformers toys would be a great deal today. Kitchen appliances look to be about what Kohls will charge this year. The best deal in that flyer is the $29.88 6 1/2 foot pre-lit tree. Let's do an old Kohls flyer next!

I've never seen it over $1k. It's been $800ish, so this is not heart stopping. Just the same, 75" for $750 is pretty awesome. You also get 5% cash back from Discover on walmart.com, so it nets to just over $700. I have not laid eyes on this set. Don't mind lack of smartness (have a drawer full of 4K FTV Sticks), but the picture has to be good. Walmart is good about returns, so an in home audition is not out of the question. The biggest set I've watched television on was a 90" Sanyo (I think) at BJs Club. It was hard to get far enough away for the picture to be watchable.

@Brad, it would be cool to have a sticky about employee discounts.

I'd be curious to learn more about the employee benefits/discounts. When I was a youngster, I worked at Zayre Department Store. Everyone got 10% off the sale price if they had to take a rain check. Layaway was free. Employees always got 10% off everyday and 20% off one or two weeks before Christmas. I accumulated a lot of stuff via rainchecks during the year that sat on layaway until 20% off. I looked like santa leaving the store. I remember two Atari 1050 disk drives which were normally $229.99 going on sale for $179.99 which were $162 after raincheck and $130 after 20% off. Everyone got a HUGE 25" tv for Christmas!

You missed one... November 7 - Staples

Love HF for consumables and buying a tool you need for one or a few jobs. If you need a trailer or alkaline batteries, no better deals -- any time of year. And those free flashlights? Awesome. First time I was in the store was to pick up one of these... Had been watching them for local pickup because they never seemed to have them on hand. I finally found one and went to pick it up around noon on a Wednesday, I think. The place was packed. When I got to the register, the cashier gave me a flyer so I could get a free flashlight. But their parking lot sales are perpetual and the prices are very consistent.

I happened to be looking at this weeks HF ad when I opened the BF ad. What a joke! That 4000 watt generator is $10 less this week. The solar panel kit is $10 less. No free light. No 20% off coupon. I guess everyday is BF at HF.

Can you recommend something for home users? Free maybe?
