totallyBF Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 This year will be my first year that i am getting the Thanksgiving Day paper delivered to my house which i'm kinda excitedabout because in previous years before i haven't had much luck finding the paper at wee early hours in the morning! Last year had to be the worse because i got into an argument with another customer at the local CVS over the last paperthat's when i decided that was enough and started the delivery service of the newspaper to my door step. I enjoy seeing all the ads online before, but i still love having all the ads in hand finally!!! Do you have any stories about finding the newspaper? if so please do share!! and good luck!!

racerfan Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I used to have it delivered but since last year I was not home on Thanksgiving morning I switched my paper delivery to weekends only thru the end of the year. I plan on getting the paper while camping out like I did last year. EARLY in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansieDZ Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I have had Weekend Only delivery for years but fortunately,that includes all major holidays too. It's cheaper to get 3 days of home delivery (Fri/Sat/Sun) than it is to pay for the Sunday paper at the store! Plus,I don't have to leave the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjncmj Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I've never had a problem finding a paper before 7am. This year should be even easier since I moved into an apartment close to all the stores and a convenience store right across the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkrbel Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 this just occurred to me...since sales start Thursday are they putting the ads in Wednesday's paper or Thursday's? any insider info out there? I get free Sunday paper(some ads/coupons only) and think it started with free Turkey day delivery last year but they've missed our block the last 2 weeks so I'll probably be up at way too early both days this year.

mcwalker Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I haven't had a problem getting the paper Thanksgiving morning either at the corner "bodega" (convenience store) near me or in a pharmacy or store when traveling. I always buy the paper to get the printed adds and put them in my car. In addition to My List printed from Gottadeal, I generally take the ad from each store into that store while shopping in case I want to see info in the ad or point out an item to an employee to ask where it is.

catholicbride11 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 All the corner stores are always out, but Walgreens usually has them. Any place that doesn't have people coming in for coffee and/or breakfast items usually has them hanging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim05 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 My parents will get the ads in their Wednesday paper since they live out in the country. I will usually get two more papers (different ones) at the gas station around 5am before I start getting ready to meet everyone at church. I've never had problems finding them but then again I'm usually there very early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wittenlover Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 What kills me is I'm going to be out of my area for the first time in many a year on Thanksgiving morning. I am going to be hard-pressed to find a paper by the time I get back in town! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianne Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I go to the gas station at 5am every thanksgiving.. Grab 2 papers just to make sure thy might of forgotten to put a ad in one of them. Drink my strong coffee and rush home to look at my ads while the whole house is sleeping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogiporkchop Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Last few years I've made a very long round trip to the city in which I'd be shopping to ensure I had ALL of the ads (and i always check a minimum of 3 papers). This year it's a mere three minute bike ride around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestMama Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Last year I couldn't sleep Wednesday night. I kept calling the gas station to see when they'd get it in. We live in the country & its a drive to get the paper, didn't want to keep driving there. They were entertained. Paper arrived at 3am. I got one right away. The year before, they were sold out when I went in @ 6:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kklracing Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Last year our family was flying to Nevada on Thanksgiving Day. Mom and I stopped at 5 gas stations on the way to the airport. None had received their papers yet. I had given up hope on getting a paper to read on the plane (I had already seen all the ads here on GottaDeal and I couldn't shop anyhow, but its still fun to look through the print ads). We got to the airport (small terminal) and there was ONE paper left in the paper box. I was destined to have it I guess. I was even nice and shared it with other passengers when I was done with it. It was amazing how many people don't look online ahead of time and that was the first time they were seeing the ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wittenlover Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Do you have a friend or neighbor who could pick one up for you or save you theirs?I wish, Hansie. I know none of my neighbors. lol Thankful I can look at the ads online - just really like having the actual hard copies in hand! I did get lucky in that a couple of stores put their BF ads in with the weekly ads I get in my mail. At least I have a couple of the "real things"!

tinkrbel Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I'm turning laptop off to try and look through ads even though I already know whats in there. Then I can finish off what I need/want to pick up. I think I only really need to head to CVS, Walgreens and either Home Depot or Walmart for poinsettia's and wreath.
