Brad Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 We took the data from the past 5 years to get an average of how many days before BF each store's ad typically gets leaked here on GD. We then took those numbers and made a "calendar" for this year based on this year's BF date of 11/25. Here are some of the more popular stores and when they could possibly be posted this year based on past history: 10/1/11Ace Hardware 10/9/11Half Price Books 10/17/11Harbor Freight 10/28/11Sears 11/3/11Gander MountainLowe's 11/5/11Office MaxWalgreens 11/6/11Military BXKmartMacy's 11/9/11Kohls 11/10/11Navy ExchangeCostcoJCPenney 11/11/11TargetBest BuyOld NavyRadio ShackCVS Pharmacy 11/12/11Dell Homehhgregg 11/13/11Toys R UsMeijerBass Pro ShopsStaples 11/14/11Pep BoysModell'sBig LotsOffice DepotMichael'sKmart Thanksgiving 11/15/11Dick's Sporting GoodsHome DepotBJ Wholesale 11/16/11WalmartCabela'sMenards 11/17/11PetSmartSports Authority 11/18/11GamestopSam's ClubIkea So as you can see, as of today, the schedule is pretty accurate. We have the 3 ads that "should" have come out by now, and based on past history, it wouldn't be shocking to see Sears' Black Friday ad be leaked this week. Again, these are just guesses based on past years. Don't whine if these dates don't hold up this year Thanks to a couple of my helpers for putting this together for everyone to check out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noehlp Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 lol already broke with bj's ad today lol, might wanna update that brad.I don't think the list in this thread gets updated - from my understanding this is a list of past years dates averaged.

mamat2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 It helps to see how and when the other ads came out. Having at least an estimate makes me less anxious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msyves Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Thanks for the info. Walmart just announced that as of Novemeber 1-December 25, if you purchase an item and then find it lower bring your receipt and the ad and they'll give you the difference back on a gift card. I can't wait for Black Friday!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger97498 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 So Sears should come out any day now. Im excited for it because I need a new TV for my bedroom. Depending on price though I may have to wait for Target or Walmart (If Walmart its coming from online I will not get trampled for a stinkin tv lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfaddict1977 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 how did \bjs get leaked now then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGreen08 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 how did \bjs get leaked now then?It's only an estimation. We could get Targets BF ad today for example because we can not determine the exact day we will receive each one. An example for the opposite would be for us not to receive an ad at all, and you would only see that ad in your newspaper on Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFQueenofNY Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 do you think that all the stores with layaway and early openings may push the ads leaks closer to bf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwalker Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Looks like we are coming to the point where we should start seeing something every couple of days, and every day next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 So at this point last year (12 days before BF) we still hadn't seen ads from Walmart, Staples, OfficeMax, Kmart, GameStop and many others that we already have. We have some stores left - Home Depot, Office Depot, the rest of Sears, Meijer, Macy's and some smaller ones, but these next 10 days should be relatively quiet, and then the fun online BF shopping begins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBsDarling Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Quiet? Hmmm does that mean the whining consequences has been lifted in the Where is Meijer add thread? Kinda neat to see how many are getting on the early is good bandwagon. Its what we have all asked for year after year finally nice to get the feeling we are being heard! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
