Do you have any BF "keepsakes" from past years - old GD BF shirts, JCPenney snow globes, etc?

[kimpooh19]

I have all of my GD shirts.  My mom used to love collecting the ornaments each year that some store was giving out.  What do you have?

[Gator Pam]

Also all of the GD shirts I won over the years, as well as my blue and gray GD canvas shopping bags.

I have most of my GD shirts. Last year, my sister made me a quilt out of hers and a few of mine .

Love that idea!

I have at least one piece of every GD merch item we've done.

 

And I have the actual paper BF ads from the newspaper going back to around 2004-2005 I believe (many of which need to be scanned to get better quality versions on www.blackfridayarchive.com).

[Kanyon71]

We have many of the GD shirts.

[tracy0504]

T-shirts, reusable shopping bag, pen

[Kash]

I have several shirts, pens, magnets, zipper baggie for accessories, hat, and a pin. But I think I’ve given all my reusable bags away to people. Lol

[momlori]

I have my GD shirts and reusable shopping bag. I have any extra shopping bags to others. I have a magnet, pen and shopping list as well

I forgot about the zipper baggie. I still have that too. 

[cllehto]

I have all the shirts I have won.

[BFgrl79]

I have several t-shirts, and my reusable shopping bags are still going strong! And of course, the super awesome glittery GD pins we got. I love sparkly glitter things!

[jaymacfla]

I do have some shirts, but most of the camping gear is long gone. Purchases such as media and smaller electronics have survived though.

[speeddiva]

Also all of the GD shirts I won over the years, as well as my blue and gray GD canvas shopping bags.

Same. I love those grey shopping bags.

[packratfamily]

The pens and the bottle openers, to start. Pens write really nice and I have the opener on my camp key lanyard.

Use the bags and love the zipper bags.

 

Then there is a BF Ads tshirt in the drawer (ducking 4 cover)

 

ed. to add, I loved the popsocket but it stopped sticking but fridge has plenty of magnets too

I have the shopping bags still and a GD pop socket somewhere that I keep meaning to put on my phone.

[rockpzazz]

I'd say I have 95% of the Gottadeal stuff I've gotten over the years (may have lost a couple things in a move or two).

 

I can't wait until Brad gets the time to rescan those ads from previous years.  The archive site is one I like wasting time on.

[connieh]

Still in possession of all my GottaDEAL t-shirts!

My favorite is my GottaDeal bag. 

Have some magnets on the fridge to remind me that Black Friday is coming!

[msyves]

I still have all my GD items. I wear the t-shirts throughout the year.

[Rockfordmom]

JCPenney snowglobes

[Illinoismom]

I have all my Gottadeal tee shirts, note pad, coin purse, reusable bag other things , several gotta deal SS gifts, Reindeer stockings from Shop Ko , Rodney the Reindeers from Burger King  

[mjbateman]

I found a JCP snow globe this week. I am not sure why it was not put up with the rest of the Christmas decorations. 

[okannie]

I have GD shirts and most of the JC Penney snow globes and a cloth ornament

[Hubbalance]

Well I have a t-shirt from a different BF site that no longer exists :'(

 

JCP Snowglobes, of course. I still have a clip on Tigger I bought as an impulse buy probably 20 years ago. Reminds me of the good old days of BF shopping!!

[hillbillyswife]

A few JCP snow globes

 

And of course BF t-shirts

[marathonshopper]

     I have quite a few years worth of the cute little Disney snow globes that JC Penney gave out, some of them are starting to turn a little yellowish on the globe part. One year Sears had Thomas Kincaid glass ball ornaments. I can’t remember if those were free or free with purchase, but they were only on Black Friday. I remember one year while I was in the Best Buy line…not super far back, but not camp-all-night close either, the employees were going down the line handing out and throwing out free goodies.  I think there were T-shirts, CDs, stuffed things, all kinds of promotional items. I have a couple of little stuffed animal things from that year. That was the only year I remember them doing anything like that. And one year my mom won one of the two $100 gift cards that Shoe Carnival gave away for Black Friday.  

     Another thing I have are memories of Walmart Black Fridays.  Memories of trying to find out from Walmart employees where to line up for the special limited quantity items.  And I get that a lot of times the employees weren’t told where the line would be until just about that time, but it can be frustrating to say the least to be fighting the crowd trying scour the store to find where to line up. One year I got the nicest employee that told me to stay in a certain spot and she would find out for me.  She was gone for about 20 minutes but when she came back she had a string of balloons that said the name of the laptop I wanted on them and told me to follow her.  She led me to the shoe department, tied the balloon onto something and told me I was number 1.  That was before the days of the maps online that tell you most of that now.
