Brad Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Only 329 days to go As you can see the 2020 BF threads have been archived and as we've done in recent years there is this year-round BF forum to discuss any store closings and other news that could affect BF 2021.Black Friday will fall on November 26th this year. 2
Brad Posted May 26, 2021 Author Posted May 26, 2021 Halfway to Black Friday! Black Friday is exactly 6 months from today. Start the hype lol 5
Kanyon71 Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Man when are we going to get the first ad? Is it just me or do they suck this year? 6
bpr Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 The suspense is killing me. I’m glad to see that stores are returning to the old ways of being closed on Thanksgiving (we’ll see how long it last). 8
ytmomof4 Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 I can’t wait to see how the stores are doing their sales this year. I actually kinda liked how Walmart spread their sales out last year and hope they do that again. 3
laddhorn Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 I think Black Friday will develop more into Black November. Covid is getting bad again in our area, so I expect it to be similar as last year
budgetsRsexy Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 I feel like this year might be very similar to last year with the delta variant being an issue. I didn’t participate in Black Friday last year or really pay attention to any of the spread out sales when companies tried to adjust for covid. Any recommendations on how to be prepared for this year? I feel uninformed and completely unprepared for BF this year.

Any recommendations on how to be prepared for this year? I feel uninformed and completely unprepared for BF this year.I set up reminders for the sale items I wanted. They had week long sales, day sales, and sales that started at certain hours. It was crazy but I enjoyed the fact that the stores that did open up it was like black friday from years past. You cant sleep on the sales. I did on a few things thinking that they would be better or reintroduced on BF and they were not. I suggest get it when you see it. 4
mgreen Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 I'm going to be looking for some unconventional sales this year. Working on backyard and landscaping. Need awning, pergola, outdoor furniture, etc.

Need awning, pergola, outdoor furniture, etc.Now that is a nice Christmas gift. New backyard or change the stair case would be wonderful
mgreen Posted September 14, 2021 Posted September 14, 2021 If you’re in a state that has Menards they have all those things and more.I don't think we do. I believe I tried to order from them, then when I got to the cart it said they didn't service our area.
Kanyon71 Posted September 14, 2021 Posted September 14, 2021 I don't think we do. I believe I tried to order from them, then when I got to the cart it said they didn't service our area.We are oddly enough going to buy a sofa and a fire pit from them later today.

Great tips on making calendar reminders and to take the leap earlier since there might not be a chance later.Is there somewhere I can see or access the sale ads from earlier in November? I could only find the actual Black Friday ads but none of the ones from before the big day. I found the threads but the links didn’t take me anywhere. Edited September 15, 2021 by budgetsRsexy

I could only find the actual Black Friday ads but none of the ones from before the big day. I found the threads but the links didn’t take me anywhere.I cant remember if the sales ads were in the bf ad or if it was something released weekly. I want to say it was in the sales ad with the dates at the top of the pages.
mommy2twingles Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 Just relooked at last years sales ads, made a list of what I need for this year and if/where it was on sale previously. Stocking up on gift cards now for those stores in Hope's of similar sales. We will be out of town the first week of November so hopefully no big sales that week.
elena_398 Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 Hoping stores put all or majority of BF sales online and offer free shipping. I do like the fact a lot are closing on Thanksgiving Day again. I dont need too much, but always excited when I get notifications from Brad telling us an ad has been posted.
jaymacfla Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 Black Friday this year will fall on my birthday. Sometimes it falls on Thanksgiving. I am taking this as a good omen as other years have shown birthday convergences to be pretty epic in nature. 1

I do like the fact a lot are closing on Thanksgiving Day again. I dont need too much, but always excited when I get notifications from Brad telling us an ad has been posted.I like that the stores are closed on Thanksgiving. It reminds me of the old days when you only got the deal if you were willing to stand in line all night or get up extra early in the morning. That thrill of the hunt and expectation after spending the day with family is amazing. I refused to leave family dinner and time to get in a line or get some material item. If it was there when I got there than good if not I will pay what I have to. 1
tracy0504 Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Unfortunately, we may be looking at a lot of shortages and delays this season [emoji24][emoji24] trying to imagine ads being done based on in stock items (in stock meaning the warehouse and store)... Edited September 28, 2021 by tracy0504
mgreen Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 Maybe if there are a lot of shortages they will offer some sort of reservations for certain things like they do for the cell phones. Then you come back at a later date to get the item?
mgreen Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 I hope they do at least offer free shipping so that no one has to risk their health if they feel uncomfortable with the situation in their shopping area.
jesusluvu Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 I hope they do at least offer free shipping so that no one has to risk their health if they feel uncomfortable with the situation in their shopping area.I think free shipping will be offered but will it get there on time is the problem. The delivery times have almost doubled and nothing is really guaranteed outside of next day air. 1
AuntJamelle Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 We are oddly enough going to buy a sofa and a fire pit from them later today. We buy EVERYTHING from Menards!!!! We call ourselves "Menardians" Super excited for BF! Looking to do mainly online sales this year again! 2
Kanyon71 Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 We buy EVERYTHING from Menards!!!! We call ourselves "Menardians" Super excited for BF! Looking to do mainly online sales this year again!We ended up with a sectional, a couple 5x7 rugs, some LED bulbs, water, cookies and some beef jerky on that trip.
colemandawn4905 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 I’m worried about shipping this year. I love online shopping but I’ve ordered from kohl’s and Catherine’s and both took 3-4 weeks to come in.
jesusluvu Posted October 8, 2021 Posted October 8, 2021 I’m worried about shipping this year. I love online shopping but I’ve ordered from kohl’s and Catherine’s and both took 3-4 weeks to come in.The supply chain is in a mess. The same structure is in place. No new hubs are being built and the volume is within the means of the current staff for all the major shipping companies so what is the problem? Most of their systems are automated and only becomes labor intensive on the final leg of the journey. Maybe I am missing something but a lot of this just seems manufactured to increase profits. The more I research the more evidence points to this. 2
