RossMAN Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 We have no problems finding a newspaper stuffed full of Black Friday ads. Here's how we do it:1) Thanksgiving morning we walk to the convenience store ... a whole 3 minutes away. It's quiet except for the whirl of the slurpee machines and the door chime. Walk over to the newspaper counter and buy a copy of The Oregonian for $0.502) Eat turkey, go to the movies and spend 22 hours surfing GottaDeal.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josher5513 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'm kinda worried about this year's TDay paper, because recently the CC ad stopped coming in the St. Louis paper, even though there's a CC near me.. Same thing with WalMart, so I'm not really sure where I can go to find a paper with those ads. (GottaDeal is wonderful, but I'd really love to be able to have the ads in my hand when shopping, especially after the WM and BB fiasco last year!)

bigjimslade Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 In the Dallas, Texas area the convenience stores and hotels get the Dallas Morning News around 3am or so. The paper came to the house I was staying at around 5am. I remember last year that Best Buy posted there BF ad around 2am on there site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you might want to call CC and tell the manager. Maybe he can do something as well. Just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoXmom Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Our town is small too but I have found out the hard way you have to be up Very early TG morning to get one. I usually buy 2 because normally you can bet there's one or more inserts missing and sometimes you'll get double or triple of another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechef71 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Walmart in my town does a promotion every year where everybody in town gets a paper delivered to their house sometime the week before thanksgiving with their sales ad inside not sure what day it is. you might want to check your local store.....

Bestbuy7 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I guess living in the city has its advantages. I dont think that many people in my area are crazy about BF or even know about BF. I usually dont have anything to do in the morning besides watch the Macys Parade so I go out and buy 2 papers:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummingbird Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 We don't usually have trouble finding a paper but I've found out and it doesn't pertan to just the BF sales papers but if I go to a store to purchase the paper the either 1/2 the ads are missing or there's no ads at all so I've started getting them out of a paper box. Also if you buy out of the box you don't have to pay tax on the paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 :g_think:Wattayamean box????I think the "Box" refers to the newspaper vending machines. The ones where you put in your change and then open the door to take your paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diecastbeatdown Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 typically comes out on wednesday. never had a problem. i live in the city so if there was ever a time where local shops ran out i would drive to the orlando sentinel newspaper building and simply get it there.

stephnandy Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Our one Hy-Vee grocery store got a Starbucks this year. Every time we go there, hubby has to get a coffee. :) I would be SO happy if our Hy-Vee got a Starbucks! Lucky-duck! I have to get up and be out by 7am:tired: on T-day morning to get a paper at the gas-station down the street. If they are out, I go to Hy-Vee, then W-Mart - and I live in a larger city.

ilikefree Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 We always get a Wal-Mart paper in the mail a few days beforehand. But I always subscribe to one of the newspapers from a bigger town close to us to get the other ads. The paper gets delivered usually by 3 a.m. I do use this site to make my list before I even get the ads, but I like to have the actual ads when I'm shopping.

phrogxix Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Order delivery now, or plan to hit a 24 hour spot early early that morning. Gas stations are a gem for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfinto65 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I subscribe to one paper, but they don't carry all of the ads. I need to go out and get a different paper, and yes the local stores sell their newspapers out early - typically by 9 or 10am. Same problem here. If I want all the ads I have to go buy a different paper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bytch_mynickname Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 You people are lucky to get your papers so early. I live in the smallest city in the USA (literally) and we only have one store/gas station. Our papers are not delivered until sometime afternoon. The upside to living in such a small area is that everyone knows everyone on a first name basis and I can just stop in at the store and ask the owner to save one for me.
