jade2002 Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I've been wearing mine!! I put longsleeves under so I didn't need it and ppl could see it! I'd love sweatshirts then ppl could see it bc lots of times it's cold on BF!Yeah, I knew it was going to be cold when we left Walmart, thats why I wore a white thermal under my t-shirt.
Cinnamonhuskies Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Yeah, I knew it was going to be cold when we left Walmart, thats why I wore a white thermal under my t-shirt. I had a navy blue turtleneck under mine, but still needed my coat on while waiting for 2 hours in line in Menard's Garden Center...brrrrr
Brad Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I would love to see them back next year...but if enough of us request on here...can they be made to be purchased instead of just winning?? Maybe have special ones made for the constests..but have others that are for purchase only???? My GD tshirt from like 4-5 years ago has seen better days now and well...is two sizes too small. We did the one-day onle sale for them this year which worked out well, but I don't want to continually let them be for sale as it creates a lot of extra work for me when I'm supposed to be running the site. The one-day sale wasn't that bad as I knew after that day how many shirts were sold and could do them all at once and not have it be an ongoing chore to check orders/package/ship them. The local place I got the shirts from sells their own shirts and ships them for reasonable prices, so I'm going to talk with them to see if maybe we can work something out where they'd sell the shirts and handle the order processing/shipping so I don't have to.
mgmckny Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Ok my new shirt is in the wash so I wore my old shirt which I won a few years ago but could never fit into (and it's still a bit snug) today for the first time ever.... My oldest used to wear it, I've taken my tshirts back....LOL
AuntieJul Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Will have to wait for the photo from my sis - but wore it all day and even got a few smiles, even from cashiers... Was a little disappointed not to find another GD'er but there's always next year. BTW converted my mother into a BF shopper despite the fact she usually hates crowds and lines.
sbwolfer Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 I wore mine out today too! Once I was in the stores and took my jacket off I got a few comments about it! People thought it was funny!
siczlo Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Love the sweatshirt idea....being from Chicago and all....
stacya Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 I don't have a pic, but I got a few laughs and comments...first by my dh and my MIL. dh couldn't believe I had a shirt for BF, and when he stopped laughing, I turned around and showed he and MIL the back of it, and my MIL made some comment like, "You're going to end up getting stabbed or something!" Then the clerk at WaWa asked me if I had a BF shirt on (I had my jacket on over it--btw, long sleeves and/or sweatshirt would be great, as I wore a long sleeve underneath it, but it was too cold and still had to have a jacket when I was waiting in lines, but other than that had it in full view, LOL), and I said, "Yes, I will admit that," and he proceeded to tell me about his BF experience last year at BB, and thought my dh and MIL's comments were quite amusing, too, when I told him what was already said...plenty of stares at the outlets, and people whispering, and a few laughs from clerks at other stores...very fun!! :)
stacya Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Oh, and I also slept in mine once I got home, LOL!
ISU ME Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 I'm wearing mine today too! Love the sweatshirt idea...it was 18 degrees here this morning!
riven3d Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 I have one comment about the shirt, We Florida folks sweated are asses of in them, any chance of having a lighter wait version available. was supposed to be 68 during the overnight here but with the shirt on i was sweating up a storm felt like it was 95 needless to say I took no pictures of it on because of how much sweat soaked it was

Maybe we just won't have them at all next year
riven3d Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 lol hey i love the shirt, even gained you some new members because of it
noehlp Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Some want lighter, some wan't heavier, some want sweatshirts, some want long-sleeves, some want the design on the back lower so their hair doesn't cover it. Maybe we just won't have them at all next year Can we get it in a polo?
tokanm Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Where have I been for the last 5 years I didnt even know there were GD shirts:( OK I am a day late and a dollar short, lol Now I want one.....
Brad Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 For those who are sticking around (which should be all of you), we have plenty of our regular non-BF GD t-shirts to give away: http://gottadeal.com/images/shirt.gif along with plenty of other GD merchandise (much of it brand new items that we haven't given away yet)

The cashier at walgreens yesterday wanted me to be her personal shopping organizer. And when we went back in this morning the cashier asked us what we were getting for pennies today :) One of my mom's bff calls regularly to find out what deals I've got brewing so she can get in on them too. Are the regular shirts same style/thickness?
tinkrbel Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Maybe a big recycle bag that says, "Yeah, I got your doorbuster, in my bag." A big ikea type bag wouldn't be a bad idea but dunno if normal stores would allow them.
Brad Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Are the regular shirts same style/thickness? yep, exact same shirt
Bstar0306 Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 My Mom says Black Friday Sweatshirts would be cool :)

Illinoismom Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 I always wear mine, and get lots of questions, the clerks in my walmart sent people to me to ask questions on where stuff is, and what's at other stores, It is a great conversation starter, I give out lots of web address for gottadeal, Next year I think I will make business cards to hand out. I only wish I had bought shirts for my kids as it would have been easier to find them in the crowds. I am always honoured to wear my shirt with pride.

Business cards with the web address would be great! I sent links out at work but have no way of knowing how many actually went since it's blocked (but facebook and twitter are not, go figure).
parteejen Posted November 27, 2010 Author Posted November 27, 2010 Wore mine to Walmart. Can not even begin to tell you how many people came up to me asking me where such and such items were going to be located. They thought my shirt was a walmart shirt and that I worked there. I totally forgot to take a picture. I told hubby after we left last night that I had wanted to take a pic and post it on Gottadeal. I had a few people come up to me in Walmart, too!
oldvter Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Maybe a big recycle bag that says, "Yeah, I got your doorbuster, in my bag." HAA HAHA !!! Love this!!!
