Black Friday Ads from the Past: Lists & Scans

[Brad]

Here are plain text lists of the items in the ads (at least the ones in our database) dating back to 2003:

2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006 - 2007 - 2008 - 2009

2010 - 2011 - 2012 - 2013 - 2014 - 2015 - 2016

2017 - 2018 - 2019 - 2020 - 2021 - 2022 - 2023

And as always you can also visit the Black Friday Archive to browse over 1,400 historical Black Friday ad scans going back to 2004.

 

Also you can browse the Black Friday forum archives to relive past discussions, see when ads were leaked in a particular year, etc.

I really enjoy revisiting the old ads, but then I get a little sad because it's not the same any more... I liked waiting for the ads to get "leaked" on this site and being one of few who got early viewing privileges...

Yeah, this time of year I always like to go read through the old forums.

I love looking at the archives.  I usually spend a lot of time there, but I've just started a newspapers.com subscription, and have been looking at old ads in the newspapers from there.  Too bad a lot of the older ones are in black and white, but its still fun looking back, especially at stores I never got the chance to shop at.

I hope that the laptop I want will go on sale!

Oh I miss the good old days when CVS & Walgreens had great Freebies on BF. This year I am looking for a great deal on a new laptop

Am I foolish to hope that there's a BF CVS ad yet to come.  I do not like their new add format with all the squares.  Seems like since they went to that format the deals are worse.  And WTH? NO freebies?  Not even a pack of gum?  SMH.
