When does each store's BF ad typically get leaked? Find out here!

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:

 

10/1/11

Ace Hardware

 

10/9/11

Half Price Books

 

10/17/11

Harbor Freight

 

10/28/11

Sears

 

11/3/11

Gander Mountain

Lowe's

 

11/5/11

Office Max

Walgreens

 

11/6/11

Military BX

Kmart

Macy's

 

11/9/11

Kohls

 

11/10/11

Navy Exchange

Costco

JCPenney

 

11/11/11

Target

Best Buy

Old Navy

Radio Shack

CVS Pharmacy

 

11/12/11

Dell Home

hhgregg

 

11/13/11

Toys R Us

Meijer

Bass Pro Shops

Staples

 

11/14/11

Pep Boys

Modell's

Big Lots

Office Depot

Michael's

Kmart Thanksgiving

 

11/15/11

Dick's Sporting Goods

Home Depot

BJ Wholesale

 

11/16/11

Walmart

Cabela's

Menards

 

11/17/11

PetSmart

Sports Authority

 

11/18/11

Gamestop

Sam's Club

Ikea

 

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 :P

 

Thanks to a couple of my helpers for putting this together for everyone to check out :)

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!!!!

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.

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 :D

Quiet? Hmmm does that mean the whining consequences has been lifted in the Where is Meijer add thread? :P

 

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! :)
