civiclover88 Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) I was wondering when the hard copies of the black friday ads come out....I am going to attempt to price match at some stores and know that I'll need hard copies of the ads for proof of the prices. Any ideas? Oh, by the way, I live in New Hampshire, if that will help. Edited November 18, 2008 by bigjimslade making title more coherent
MollyTrolly Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Most of them will be in the Thanksgiving paper, but I think some may come out this Sunday.
drod58 Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 The hard copies are on the newspapers on Thanksgiving Day. You should go early to buy them because they are gone quickly. I usually go to the supermarket around 7:30-8:00 to get them. I buy two different papers to be sure that I get all the ads.
Thumper501 Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 I am sending my boyfriend out to get two papers on Thanksgiving. I don't want to miss any of the ads! And any doubles are good to have on hand in the car, just in case.
arci122 Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Some stores that sell newspapers that are not open on Thanksgiving will put them out on Wednesday.
wx4svr Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Ours always come out on Thanksgiving. I've also seemed to get a few on Wednesday as well.. but those are more local stores, not national chains.
HansieDZ Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Since some stores will have good sales on Thanksgiving Day,you'll need the Wednesday paper for that.Also,when you get your Thursday paper,check to make sure all the ads are in the middle of the paper :)

Any ideas? Oh, by the way, I live in New Hampshire, if that will help.Hey, I'm in NH too. Howdy neighbor! Where will you be shopping this year? I always buy the Wednesday paper (for Kmart's Thanksgiving ad!), and the Thanksgiving paper
leah_steven Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 We don't have a Target or a TRU near us. They are in the next state over (less than 30 miles) Our local paper never has those ads. Does anyone know if a major paper like USA Today will have them or does Mississippi have a state paper??? could it be in there??? ( I really need them before I go shopping to PM some stuff, but am still going to the stores too. Anyhelp will be greatly appreciated:yup:
dmmiller Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I"m not real sure, but I'm thinking the national paper would still have it in your paper. BUT I'm not sure if the places will price match. Some of Our stores rules are the competetive store has to be within 20-30 miles of them. good luck!
amberjobryant Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 do they have the papers from the larger (or a larger) location available in your stores, I live in a small town but I can buy the papers from other towns here.
leah_steven Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I don't know. The only paper I have seen is for the gulf coast (the sun hearld), and there is not a target or tru in those areas. I know that Hattiesburg, MS has both, but that's a good way's away and Slidell, LA is the nearest (around 30 miles, might be less). I know it takes me 25 minutes to get to Slidell from our town. I was just wondering about the USA Today, that's the only paper at the gas station I stop at besides our local one. I don't even know if we have a state paper, haven't been able to find out online. I know back home (in sc) I got the local paper and then the state paper to get all of the ads I needed. thanks for your help......
Disney8704 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I can never seem to remember when the BF ads appear in newspapers. Is it the Sunday or Wednesday before BF or is it Thanksgiving Day?
stacy0479 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Mine normally are Wednesday. I am in San Diego.
laguera903 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Here in Florida, they are in Thanksgivings paper
wx4svr Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Mine come out Thanksgiving day. Some of the smaller stores come out on Wednesday.
wx4svr Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 You can probably get some of the things via an online ad. Thats my thinking at the moment.
SitterFamily Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I live on the MS coast too! The Sun Herald doesn't have the sale ads since we don't have the stores and the big paper, The Clarion Ledger, hasn't had them in years past. I've just had to print them off online before I head to Slidell!!!!
dswright Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I work for USA Today, you will not have national ads there for Black Friday. Try to find a large city paper for everything you need. If you are close to an interstate, someplace like a Pilot Truck stop should have several papers from your region.
jswitzer77 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I live near Jackson, MS. And I always get my ads from The Clarion Ledger.
chefswife Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I know that you can sign up to have target's circulars e-mailed to you. TRU may have the same option.
leah_steven Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks for all of your help!!! I think I might just make a trip over to slidell early thanksgiving morning while i'm out and about!!! Sitterfamily....is is crazy in Slidell??? This is my first year going here, as I just moved here about 4 months ago! I was planning on hitting the outlets and then off to slidell.

Sitterfamily....is is crazy in Slidell??? This is my first year going here, as I just moved here about 4 months ago! I was planning on hitting the outlets and then off to slidell. Honey. You better get to the outlets about 9pm or earlier!! The outlets were crazier than Slidell! I arrived last year about 11 and stood in line for 2 hours! I finally got out of there around 4am but it took over an hour to get out of the parking lot! Slidell wasn't bad at all. I arrived later in the day and still got the deals I was after! Welcome to the Coast and if you need anything or have any questions, please let me know!
dswright Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Definitely buy papers Wed and Thurs. The earlier on Thursday, the better.

leah_steven Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Well just found out my sil and her boyfriend are coming down/over for thanksgiving. they are leaving sc that morning so they won't be here till late evening. I am going to get her to stop and pick me up a couple of papers from home, that i know have the ad's i'm looking for. Maybe even get her to stop in atlanta and pick up a big paper there!!! Thanks for everyone's help, that's why I love gottadeal
savvystar Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Just an FYI, if you are bringing hard copies to price match, make sure to guard your papers. I had people steal the ads right out of my cart last year at WM and I was not the only person it happened to.

What in God's name has got into these people?
jennsahm Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Doesn't surprise me. I had someone steal my COFFEE from 711 out of my cart last year.

I had people steal the ads right out of my cart last year at WM and I was not the only person it happened to. I have a binder, thanks to the helpful thread, and plan on putting it in my purse (a large tote, that doubles as a diaper bag, since I have 1 still in diapers). I hope no one steals it cause I will be really po'd and probably cause a scene:cheesy:!!!!
