laffnatu Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I woke up this morning, got dressed, dug out some quarters , jumped in my cold car and I didn't even grab a coat because I am thinking I will only be gone for a few minutes. I get to the store, grab 2 papers and a cold Coke .....mmmmmmmm..... Thinking that I will go back, sit down, read my ads, enjoy my Coke and then go to the computer room all excited and turn on my computer, go to Gottadeal and tell everyone about all my great ads I got today. BUT do I have any??? Nooooooooo... All I have is ads for 4 day sales!! I don't care about 4 day sales. I'm not doing any shopping UNTIL BF. (Or at least I'm trying not to ) *Sigh* Was anyone else disappointed in the newspaper today? I can't stand this anticipation... :)
Angelseyes28 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 There are never any BF ads in my paper until Thanksgiving day *sigh*
laffnatu Posted November 20, 2005 Author Posted November 20, 2005 Yea, but I was hoping for the Walmart ad that everyone was talking about yesterday with lowered price.. but no such luck.
Angelseyes28 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 My walmart ad normally comes to my mail..although I'm thinking it's running late this year. Either that or someone took it:mad: I'm trying to be optimistic that it will be in my mailbox tomorrow. Until then I will just sit back with my coffee and read over the lists that I printed from here:coffeetim
DragonSlayer1500 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I was hoping for the Best Buy ad that the "store employee" said would be coming out on Sunday...
laffnatu Posted November 20, 2005 Author Posted November 20, 2005 I was hoping for the Best Buy ad that the "store employee" said would be coming out on Sunday...I did get a BB ad, but it is for Nov.20-23rd.
magickallight Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 The only one that we had in this mornings paper was from Freds... but I already new what was in there thanks to this board.
BLKFRI Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 The Micro Center ad had some Black Friday previews in their pullout.
mychza Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I remember that employee said the ad for sun would have better prices than on BF, but no. Compared to what we've seen that's supposed to be on sale on BF these aren't very good. Oh, well. 4 1/2 more days.
venerdinero Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Usually nothing until Wednesday's paper & those are usually the sales for those stores which are open and having sales ON thanksgiving day.
missyjane Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 My Meijer and Target ads are for the whole week. The rest of the ads are only for Mon-Wed.
darianwiccan Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 nothing in my paper either I guess I'll have to go up to Wal-Mart and get some answers from the management. lol
DaleRider Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I woke up this morning, got dressed, dug out some quarters , jumped in my cold car and I didn't even grab a coat because I am thinking I will only be gone for a few minutes.

(Or at least I'm trying not to ) *Sigh* Was anyone else disappointed in the newspaper today? I can't stand this anticipation... :) Nope, not disappointed at all........BF ads from the major retailers arrive on Thanksgiving, always have, always will. Wal-Mart's mailings are the exception. The BB 4-day ad did sort of help answer a question....they're running the $250 AOL discount in this ad that CompUSA and CC are doing on BF, and the ad plainly states, in the fine print, both the broadband and dial-up accounts qualify for the $250 discount. So, hopefully, the CC ad on Thanksgiving will be the same.
DKS88 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I didn't get today paper, but I did go to Walmart and saw a hugh BF sign that looks like the ad ,hanging right at the entrance. The computer at my local store in Central Virginia is going to be $378. I won't be here, but hopefully were I'm going in Southern Illinois will have it for the same price.
sperdue Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I woke up this morning.....*Sigh* Was anyone else disappointed in the newspaper today? I can't stand this anticipation... :)Is there an ad for the Compusa midnight madness sale on wed pm? PLEASE SAY YES!!!!!
ebony0421 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I was hoping that an ad, even if it's only one will be in the paper. I know when they normally come out. The anticipation is driving me nuts. I think what we are feeling, is what children feel when they have to look at the presents under the tree but can't open them until Christmas.
laffnatu Posted November 20, 2005 Author Posted November 20, 2005 Is there an ad for the Compusa midnight madness sale on wed pm? PLEASE SAY YES!!!!!Nope.. no Compusa ad in mine
imjustagirl Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Ours always come on Thanksgiving too, but IIRC last year some people got there's on Sunday. Maybe they're in areas that don't get paper delivery everyday though? We get our Walmart ad in the mail, I think Tuesday before Thanksgiving :)
Miranda1313 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I got othing too *sigh* I did get teased though with the Target ad for the 20th through the 26th Miranda
laffnatu Posted November 20, 2005 Author Posted November 20, 2005 I'm glad to see that I'm wasn't the only one looking for at least something in the paper. I know that ads come out on Thanksgiving..but they could have given us something til then. Well I will use the Target ad to PM a few things at WM so I guess I did get a little taste.
KhakiBoy Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I remember that employee said the ad for sun would have better prices than on BF, but no. Compared to what we've seen that's supposed to be on sale on BF these aren't very good. Oh, well. 4 1/2 more days.I guess it depends on what you're looking for. I was at BB when they opened and picked up the 32" Westinghouse LCD HDTV for $791.99. Better than any BF deal!! I was looking at the 32" Protron at Sears for $799 but this beats that one! Especially since it's the tv I've had my eye on for a month now.
stationchief Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 No BF ads here. Looks like I'll be waiting a few more days for 'em.
Gporter34 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I bought local and Dallas papers this morning and NOTHING!!! I am so upset, like the OP said, plenty of four day sales but NOTHING for BF! Our manager at WM says the ads will be available Friday morning when we come in, yeah right, like they will have them out at 1am when I get there. LMAO!!! And I need to see the ad BEFORE BF, not on BF!!! At least he showed me a map of where everything will be in the store. I guess that's better than nothing. Still wish I had those ADS, though!!
sinoke Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 i know it sux!!!!!! i wish they came out earlier!
Vickis3js Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 None here in South Jersey. Heck there was half the ads then normal this week! I was excited to see Targets though they had some great toy sales, of course there goes more of my BF stash! Are those sales good till wed or sat. I think DH threw it out already because I can't find it! Vicki
mandimama Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Well I was hoping for some BF ads too. I will say I'm a happy camper though. Because I got a BF worthy toy deal Target has their bullseye bounce game on sale for 19.99, I still have my target toy coupon book which had a $5 off coupon, and found one of the toys with a $5 off instant coupon, so I got a $30 toy for a whopping 10.80 with tax! I'm sooooo happy!
Maudy Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I got the Ace Hardware BF ad in my Sunday paper.
