hopeky94 Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 I found out about the Sears Friends and Family event here at GottaDeal last year, and I got some EXCELLENT deals on BF stuff! Everything was priced just like BF (except no early bird sales). There were waaay less people there and much better selection (which made it lots of fun- lol). Plus by signing up for a Sears card that night, I got an extra discount! Woohoo!! This was also a terrific help on BF, as my mom wanted us to go there. It was much easier to find things and to remember what was and wasn't on sale! So-- anyone (employees or whomever) know when this sale will be this year?? Last year, there was a copy of the flyer/invite online that we could print to take with us... TIA!!
mitchandalisha Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Last year I think it was the first weekend in November on a Sunday night.
gzc721 Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 It is usually the weekend before Thanksgiving. I will check with my hubby who is an asst. mgr. tonight and see if he has heard anything. Also, if you aren't signed up, check with your local Sears and they should be able to get you on a mailing list.
vonnyb Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 yeah I went last year as well and got some good deals. My God mother is a manager at SEARS so I will find out when freinds and family night is.
hpowers Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Sears F&F is November 12. K-Mart is November 5.Thanks!
mitchandalisha Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Thank you soooo much for letting us know!!
hopeky94 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Posted October 23, 2006 Sears F&F is November 12. K-Mart is November 5.Woohoo!! I didn't even know K-Mart had a F&F sale-- is it the same as the Sears F&F (BF sales, in the evening)? Thank you sooooo much for the info-- now, come oooon, Sears BF ad!!
AndreaInNC Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Kmart's home page has the F&F sale listed right on their home page. The link takes you to a flyer that shows the date and the amount of the discount, but it doesn't mention what time it runs.
Novac Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Do you just show up at the sale time, or do you have to register or join something to participate?
happyrat Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Last year you just showed up. It started at 6pm for Sears.
Den5 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 You can just show up. You don't need any invite or coupon, the discount comes off automatically. Sears will have all of the BF deals, besides the doorbusters, plus another 10% off. I don't think K-Mart will have the BF deals, but I'm not really sure.
Novac Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 According to the item on their webpage, K-Mart has a straight 10% discount with 20% off on apparel. The K-Mart PDF file for Friends & Family links to the Sears.com site.
Cecilliadb Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Will the F&F night be at Sears essentials too? Those are the only sears I see in our area.
NeepNeep Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I have last years Sears F&F .pdf and the sale included Sears, Sears Essentials & Sears Hardware.
hoopysgirl Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Do the F&F sales take place at the locally owned stores? Just curious if they participate or if its up to their discretion.
gzc721 Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Sears is on Nov 12th 6-9 pm that night. Will probably be using the Black Friday ad minus the blitz items. I do know (per DH) that they are doing an extra 20% off Kenmore appliances plus the regular 10% that you get on F&F. So this averages to about 27%. Should have the ad for Sears in my hand within the week. Will forward to Brad when I have it.
Cecilliadb Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I have last years Sears F&F .pdf and the sale included Sears, Sears Essentials & Sears Hardware.Thank you :)
sanam Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 i never knew about this ... this is awesome ... Thanks alot !!!
dougprom Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 How much is the percentage? 30%?Does the discount apply to everything? I would like to get a new air compressor that normally runs around $300. Thanks for the info!
fancymcnancy Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Is Early Bird the same as Doorbusters? There are a lot of Early Bird specials on the BF list and I was wondering if those will be part of the F&F deal.
sheli Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Early bird = door buster. They are exactly the same thing. So, no, the F&F night will not incude the early bird items. You do however get the "after 11am" price listed in the ad plus another 10% off...not usually as good ad the early bird price but sometimes being done is worth the slight price increase.
hopeky94 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 Has anyone seen the Sears Friends and Family flyer/invite online yet this year?? I know my store didn't ask for it last year, but I like having it in hand, just in case (and so I can be 100% certain of the type sales they'll be having! LOL)...
