sbwolfer Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 It's like torture waiting for an ad to come out.
elena_398 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Im more looking to see what deals there will be in general. If stores really put out some good ads. Im pretty much done with my kids so don't need anything, but still looking forward to seeing what will be out there
dbaby4ever Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Everytime I log on and see how many days are left I can't help but singing in my head......It's the final countdown....... lol
cassgurlie04 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 lol im to the point that im checking like 10 times a day, this is crazy, give us an ad already. my head is gonna explode :
AuntieJul Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I haven't even decided what to get people yet... I usually make a spreadsheet and start plotting out the best deals for things I want to get... I'm definitely going through spreadsheet withdrawal at this point.
Brad Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 lol im to the point that im checking like 10 times a day, this is crazy, give us an ad already. my head is gonna explode : instead of spending all that time checking the site, you could be going to your local stores, making friends with the employees, asking if they've seen their store's ad, giving them our site URL or your e-mail address in case they get it, etc... i just post the ads i get, but it's up to people with the ads to actually send them to us

I will ask world market next.
Brad Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 GOOD NEWS: Someone sent me the Best Buy BF ad tonight (and was very proud of themself) BAD NEWS: It was last year's ad, lol The wait continues....

As for ads the only one i might be able to get my hands on is the one that will sue you for posting it. :razz::razz:
Brad Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 As for ads the only one i might be able to get my hands on is the one that will sue you for posting it. :razz::razz:don't let that stop you from sending it...
hwunch Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 OK, Brad you said we had to wait until 10/15. So lets have it!
julz0420 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 I cant take it anymore!! I.NEED.AN.ADD! ANY add! Even for a store that isnt within 1000 miles of me, PLEASE people start leaking the ads!!!!!!!!!!
arci122 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 If I don't see an ad soon, I am going to have to start taking Prozac just to calm my nerves! 42 days til BF, and 41 til TG, these stores have to know what the sale items are so they can distribute to all their stores. There must be someone we can bribe?
PentiumMMX Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm trying to keep calm about it. It's a little hard, but I'll manage (42 days until Black Friday is nothing to me; I've waited much longer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl to get released)
elena_398 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Im officially done with my christmas shopping except stocking stuffer candy.. (which won't be bought till December). Soooo.... Im just anxious to see what is going to be out there. No pressures this year on finding stuff as Im DONE. lol. Feels good too
julz0420 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 Ok Brad, today is my birthday. I'm turing a very YOUNG 32 and for my birthday I just want an ad.... or a tshirt. LOL
Miss Star Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm beyond antsy I'm to the point of frustration lol My best friend works at Kmart and every year I try to get the ad or for her at least tell me something but she never will I may have to due some bribing soon if I don't see an ad on here.
SuperMommy Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I think that many retailers are holding off on sending their ads out (even to the store managers), because of all the fuss over the ads being leaked early. Dh is a store manager of Black and Decker (put their ad on here one year and believe me it raised a lot of crap), now they don't send the stores their BF sale agendas till around a week before hand. I also have a friend that this year is a store manager for a certain company (won't name in case she gives me the ad) and she has not received any word at all yet about their sales. I'm with all of you though, I want one NOW!!!! It's starting to drive me nuts! I was doing great and going to get through DD's b-day (Oct 23) and Halloween, then worry about BF. But after watching those videos that BigJimSlade posted of previous BF's it was on! Just watching all that mad rush made it all come crashing back!!
KrisinTn Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I was doing good... until I got my Christmas Club check yesterday. Now, I've got this $ and I want to start looking at the ads!
mgmckny Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm trying to keep calm about it. It's a little hard, but I'll manage (42 days until Black Friday is nothing to me; I've waited much longer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl to get released)You and all the Wii owners that stood in line for the Wii when it first came out! My pre-order for that game was moved back so many times that the Wii had been passed down to the younger boy (older one bought himself a used 360) by the time we got it!
SuperMommy Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I was doing good... until I got my Christmas Club check yesterday. Now, I've got this $ and I want to start looking at the ads! You and me both. But mine came from the IRS! We filed an extension this year due to DD being in the hospital for a month when taxes were due. So, we just got our income tax check and our stimulus check back a few weeks ago! I've got money burning a hole in my pocket!!
julz0420 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 LOL Ok when I said I'd even take an ad from a store we dont have around here I was only kidding!! No Harbor Freights (or whatever that was) around here BUT at least the ads are finally starting to trickle out! Not to much longer guys!!!
Brad Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Harbor Freight: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=122171 HF is always early because they basically put the printed ads out in the stores so it's easy for someone to pick one up and send one. Now we wait for the good ads...
dmintelsgt Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I'm really starting to get antsy now! I can't wait for the big ads to get in!!! Sooooooo excited!!
julz0420 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Hey Brad I was serious about that tshirt. You have no idea how crappy my birthday ended up being. (someone call out the pity party police!!) It started with a death in the family and ended with my father not even calling me (and it was HIS birthday also!!!) He just was to busy with his new family to care about me. The only thing that could possibly make me feel better is the Target ad and a tshirt. lol
jovifan4life Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I can't take it anymore! I need the ads to plan my day!
com Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I didn't think I was antsy. Turns out I am! My brother just sent me an email saying they got a memo in the press room to watch for the upcoming BF ads to print in the next couple weeks. He's pretty sure they'll have them by the beginning of Nov.
BFAddict716 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I didn't think I was antsy. Turns out I am! My brother just sent me an email saying they got a memo in the press room to watch for the upcoming BF ads to print in the next couple weeks. He's pretty sure they'll have them by the beginning of Nov. Now you have me super antsy!!!! I can't wait until they start rolling in! Harbor Freight was so exciting to see but now they made me really want a store I actually shop at!
rogue1230 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Just found out a Hbfrt store opened in my area, so I am adding that to the BF driving list, makes it more fun....we'll see.
angelbabymommy Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Im officially antsy now! And now that I know that the Toys R US Big Book will be out today (the earliest), I keep checking the site every 2 mins
