nhughes Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Ok,September is inching closer to the end and that means Black Friday is right around the corner. Now, we know everyone is very excited and ready to shop for those low-cost doorbuster. But, for the newcomers, when do we usually start seeing the ads for BF? IF i remember correctly, I think ACE Hardware was the first last year.Cheers!
bigjimslade Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 I would say Half Price Books........In the last few years they have sent GD their ad.
Scanner420 Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Harbor freight is usually the first...........Rite Aid and CVS are early ones too!!!
stationchief Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 I say Ace Hardware. Kmart might get in early, but those other three ya mentioned in the poll are usually among the last ads to be found.
amyers12345 Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 It definitely will not be any of those listed in the poll, as they all normally release cease and desist orders that prohibit early release. I'm going to go with Ace- on September 22nd.
Brad Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 It definitely will not be any of those listed in the poll, as they all normally release cease and desist orders that prohibit early release. Only Walmart sent a letter of the ones in the poll. But yeah, those stores usually don't come out until November.
Ravenseye Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 I'd join those in the Harbor Freight / Ace Hardware bandwagons. They seem to have the earliest leak times.
amyers12345 Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 This year or last? I even got one from Kmart and Target last year- don't ask me how or why.
stationchief Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Is Brad playing? I think he forgot to vote.
2chia Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I, too , join the camp for the Ace Hardware and the Harbor Freight . Just a thought, have anyone seen people standing in line and get into fight to get into those 2 stores on BF ? After 6 years living in the city I live in, I finally realized there is Habor Freight store near us. LOL.
tinkrbel Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I think we have a small ace and one harbor freight about 20 miles away which my father ocassionally ventures to but I've never been on BF and my father usually stays home on BF.
racerfan Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I am on the bandwagon saying Ace or Harbor Freight also.
SaBell Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Either Ace or one of the regional only stores.
momlori Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I am going witht the majority. Ace and Harbor Freigth
arci122 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Ace, where is the link that shows when the ads were released last year?
bigiweezy Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Isn't it always Ace? Like right around Halloween?
momof3luvs1 Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 I might be wrong but i thought Ace last year didnt come out until MUCh later...didnt they send a letter or something last year? I thought it was some book store or something that was first last year...
sunni0913 Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 if it isn't half price books then i would say ace hardware.
bigjimslade Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 It was Half Price Books who was the first. They sent Brad the ad.

sweetdiggity Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 It was Half Price Books who was the first. They sent Brad the ad.I wish Target and Walmart would do that. lol
jamieva Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Ace hardware. Better poll would be what day does Brad get the cease and desist letter from the walmart lawyers.
pogiporkchop Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Actually, that would be a very good poll.
BFAddict716 Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Only Walmart sent a letter of the ones in the poll. But yeah, those stores usually don't come out until November.Does this mean you got Walmart's letter for this year already?
jamieva Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Brad made another thread and he's already been informed the letter is coming basically.
hoits2000 Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Sears will be the first REAL ad released. Who care about ace or books? Oh yeah, my grandma.
mcwalker Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Sears will be the first REAL ad released. Who care about ace or books? Oh yeah, my grandma.OK, its not the highlight of BF , but I have gotten some very nice little deals at Ace on BF (or through the weekend), if you use (or know someone who can use) some basic tools.
