totallyBF Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Last year I had got an argument over the thanksgiving newspaper at CVS I got the last two that were available at the store and a man came up to me and said hey you got two paper give me one I turned around and said no and he asked me why did i need two papers and I told him I been driving around for one hour looking for the paper (this is 730am) And I always purchase two papers because I don't like to share my ads with my family so I purchase one for me and one for them. I mean I am not trying to hog the paper but still I was already upset who does that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmck Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I was up looking around 5:30 AM last year and had a hard time finding them. When I did I bought 5. Everyone wants to look and like the OP I want one for just me. I found them at 7'11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkrbel Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 LOL....I woke up way too early and walked to the gas station about 4 times before they FINALLY got them in. Nobody to argue with although I was a little surprised to get heckles at that ungodly hour of the morning:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smga1 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I get mine delivered to me. We wake up so early that no one will steal it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerfan Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Mine gets delivered. Most likely it will be in Wednesdays paper instead of Thursday as is the norm. Delivery person likes to give us the flyers a day early:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iliveforblckfri Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Mine gets delivered. Most likely it will be in Wednesdays paper instead of Thursday as is the norm. Delivery person likes to give us the flyers a day early:)I want your paperboy. I would tip well for that service. I am lucky enough to always wake up exceedingly early and hit the stores before others for three papers. We have two shoppers in my family and one for everyone else. I did notice last year that the price for Thanksgivings Day paper is the same as the Sunday paper.

fluffkin79 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I plan on shopping T-Day: Walgreens, CVS, maybe Kmart. Hopefully I can pick one up there, or at a gas station in between. I've never missed the Thanksgiving paper, but I have gotten the last copy before! NOTE: I only get 1 copy because I can share my toys! But then again, I'm the only one who really cares. My sis might look through mine, but she's not a serious BF shopper. I can see why some people might need their own copy, especially if you like to mark your copy or need them for a PM.

jediliz Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 My parents subscribe and this year I'll retrieve the paper from their porch on Thanksgiving morning before my brother picks me up to take me to Thanksgiving gathering. I may have already shopped by the time I get the paper, though, since it'll be all online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m13april Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I used to fly home early Thanksgiving morning, so I would get a paper at the airport on the other side of security. Then I would have the entire flight to look at all the ads :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Last year the paper gal was making the same rounds as me at the drug stores. I saw her at all 3 I went to! :) A couple years ago though I did have to go to a few stores to get mine. I had been having it delivered, so I didn't realize how hard they were to come by once I stopped getting delivery. I know now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogiporkchop Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 The last 5 years I've been making special trips to my shopping city of choice just to get the paper to ensure I got all the ads. This year (now that I've moved), instead of driving an hour and 75 miles round trip I'll be driving 1 mile and two minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellybean051901 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I used to work night shift. We would stalk the paper guy when he finally brought the papers in the morning and he would usually give us some free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svuroo Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I have an adorable newspaper stand next to the El. It's kind of an oddity in my area and I always look forward to the one day of the year I can give them my custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiarose2004 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I work at kroger. I always get there right when the AJC gets there. I can buy my 3 papers before I clock in and put safely in the car. Then go and work my 8 hrs and I'm ready for BF!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFriDiva Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I go as soon as the paper runs to a local store and grab a few. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
