Brad Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Let this be a lesson that the Ace ad this year was EXTREMELY early and we shouldn't expect another ad for close to a month if things hold true to form.
jarerice Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Thats a great list! Thanks for doing this!
Marcster Posted September 20, 2007 Author Posted September 20, 2007 Thats a great list! Thanks for doing this!Your welcome... You know, you'd think I'd keep a running list each year, but no... I spent an hour sifting through the 2006 BF archive. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Angry/frusty.gif

Marcster Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 Thank you Oh Mighty Marcster! That list puts things in perspective.KristyYou're quite welcome. I do it to keep the "WHERE ARE THE ADS!!!!" posts down to a soft murmur.
dmmiller Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Wow.. thanks for that list! That really puts things back in perspective.
Rebirth Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Great list. Now if you were here in 2004, we could have that list too.
Marcster Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 Great list. Now if you were here in 2004, we could have that list too. I'll leave that task to you... http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Male/old.gif

Marcster Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 I wish I had that list.All you have to do is go through the 2004 Archive and look for threads about listing the ad on the site (usually started by Brad) or a list of the sale items... And make a note of the date.
aerosmithgirl Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Thanks for taking the time to do this!
cleverbffool Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 thank you, it eases the anticpation a little bit.
sigrist_2000 Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 thank you! Wonder if the next ad will be a big-box retailer....lol thanks again for the lists marcster
nedsw33 Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 AWESOME!! Thanks Marcster!! This'll give us something to look forward to come Mid October!!!
Guest ladakn99 Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 does anyone have the adscans from last year thanks in advance
dswright Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I know Meijer was posted last year, but it is not on the list. What day did that ad come out? I think it was one of the later ones.
Marcster Posted October 4, 2007 Author Posted October 4, 2007 I know Meijer was posted last year, but it is not on the list. What day did that ad come out? I think it was one of the later ones.I just looked through the thread:http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=47312&page=2&highlight=Meijer It looks like 11/13/06. I'll update the list the OP.
mcwalker Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Your welcome... You know, you'd think I'd keep a running list each year, but no...

tigstur Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I have some of the ad scans from last year...which ones are you looking for?
aerosmithgirl Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 OK!!! It is time for the K-mart ad to come out!! It came out on 10/20 last year!!
Brad Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 OK!!! It is time for the K-mart ad to come out!! It came out on 10/20 last year!!I don't believe the actual ad came out on 10/20. For Kmart last year I was sent design instructions for the graphics design team to layout the ad and I tried to decipher everything from that and post a list of items on 10/20, but the actual ad didn't get leaked for a week or two after that I believe.
