Brad Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Kind of fun to look back at the threads from 2004-2006 and see what people were getting excited about in the ads. The early years had a lot more discussion here on the forum than we have now, although a lot of the discussion has moved to our Facebook page over the last several years. For example, here's the thread from 11 years ago where everyone was posting what they bought: http://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/18418-the-official-what-i-got-thread/ You can view all 12 years worth of archived threads here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forum/10-black-friday-archives/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverstreak24 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Are the actual sale ads posted from years past somewhere? I think we'd get a kick out of the ads from a decade or so ago... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jade6700 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I love reading back. I laugh because I seem to buy a lot of the same stuff every year (external HD, blankets, sheets, etc) Yet I have no idea where it all is [emoji23] 10 years with this great site now. It forever changed my BF game and I'm grateful [emoji178] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusha121 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 YES! I love reading through the "good old days"... when black friday required planning, and staying up late. I miss my kids being little, and me being excited I don't like all the 'changes' like shopping on thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyjar Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Occasionally, but usually only when I'm looking for something specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wittenlover Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Yes! I love digging back through them from time to time, especially the recipe/food-type threads. Some good stuff we've posted in years past. And speeddiva - you mentioned your 10-year anniversary. Mine's this Wednesday! High five to a fellow decader! (I'm sure there are many of us!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanyon71 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 2005 was my first year viewing here. I didn't sign up for account until Nov 2 the next year though. It's a lot of fun to go back in time. I at times will go look at some of the old ad's and see what was out there. Found the 50" Toshiba Plasma we scored as a Doorbuster in 06 Funny to go back and see some of the names that have been around here forever and the people that used to be around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpr Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I've looked at a few; mainly the last two or three years. I need to go look at 2005 (my first year). I do love going back and looking at the past ads. Over the years I have saved most of the major ads (PDFs). I like to compare prices from years ago until now.

MariahA Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I usually start looking thru the archives in July or August. Its fun finding the things we got, and looking at the toys and electronics, how much they've changed. Love the archives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
