Scans: http://www.blackfrid...OfficeDepot.pdf

Because of OD's fetish for sending their lawyers after all the sites, year after year, this ad isn't getting the same treatment as the others this year, so download the scan and we probably won't post the listing on the BF site until closer to BF, if at all...

Finally, an ad with a 1TB external HD. I might just swing by OD on BF. Thanks for posting the ad.

The Canon SX10 IS Digital Camera is actually $349.99 at OD ($399.99 less $50 instant savings). Not that this changes anything. You gotta love shopping at the Egg.
Given the choice between spending $100 for an extended warranty and $100 for lottery scratch-off tickets, I'll take the scratch-offs. :shock:

The one thing you have to watch out for with Office Depot is some of their items say "Minimum 2 Per Store" or something along those lines - meaning they aren't planning to stock many of those items (like the laptops, etc)

Yeah i saw that. Plus looks like there are rebates on the laptop which I need two of. It will be impossible to get two if they are rebates and are 1 per household. I still want a few things though. :fluffy:

can anyone read the fine print on the Acer monitor? It looked like it said 1 per store but surely not that would be insanity.

It looks like a typo. I think it says "Limit 3 per Household. Minimum 1 Per Store." The numbers should be switched if it's anything like the rest of the ad.

It's funny how people don't take pride in there Black Friday ad post's.LOL Just scan it then we can see everything and no flash.:) As for what time to get there I would say early Friday morning I have never seen campers or very long lines. At most around 30-40 people by the time the doors open up.:yup:

Can anyone make out the details on the $379 laptop and the $599 desktop on the front page of the ad? I know that both say after XX instant but I'm sure they both have mail in rebates but was wondering how much. The light off the flash kind of obscured it..LOL. Good ad though..best so far from me and OD is only 5 miles from my house. I really might need a new desktop since mine just got infected with a worm off facebook!! :mad:

The laptop is an hp 3 gig ram 160 gig hard drive intel pentium dual core processor. It's 349.99 after 250 in savings. If you notice at the top of adobe acrobat reader where the pdf file opened up in you should have a way to magnify the page to see it closer. It's still very hard to read. But that is what I could make out of it. I hope that's what it states for part of the specs.

I'd like to know when this store opens though. The ad states nothing about the time it opens. Unless I could not see that either. I wear glasses for reading so my eyes are pretty bad. :)

Which is the exact same hour that they've been opening for past BFs. It's OfficeMax that opens at 7 am.

OD's rebates take forever to get in my experience - however I am seeing some nice deals in this ad (from what I can see, LOL). It will definitely be a stop for me!

I hate rebates soooo much and have never BF'd at Office Depot before, so I think I am skipping it for the lappy. I don't even know if they give out tickets for the 5 they may have. I would rather spend the extra $30 at (unnamed store..lol) where I know they give out tickets AND I get money back for shopping. But I do see some things I want to stop in for later. Hopefully they will let me buy the few items I want online. :fluffy:

The last time I did OD rebates for for the TI-84 plus SE calculator bought in early September. I got both rebates in 5 weeks after submission. It has been greatly improved from 2 years ago. I got $700+ in rebates from BF2006 and $250+ from BF2007. This year I may do even much less. I already have 2 rebates at risk due to CPG bankruptcy.

I agree the rebates have improved. I did an office depot rebate in August on a new HP laptop and got the rebate back in 5 1/2 weeks.

Well then I might just have to see about a computer :D I really am in the market but I don't want to camp out. Our Office Depot isn't ever really very busy so maybe I can get lucky there.
