zim05 Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 My parent's paper was missing quite a bit they got only Target, Walmart and Hardware store as well as Penny's and Herbegers. My sister brought her paper and she had the rest. Kmart wasn't in either...
BFQueenofNY Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 i have no Walgreen's or Macy's ad in mine
First Lady Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Well, it's great that you can get all the ads your missing right here! ... or you could go back and buy another newspaper! Which is very true, unless you're trying to price match items in which you need the actual ad
hnybee411 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 This always happens to me too so I bought three papers from two stores and every single paper had all the ads. First time that's ever happened.
Gporter34 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I got all of the ads and several copies of the WM ad and the Radio Shack ad. Got the WM ad last night in the store and then had 2 copies in each of the two papers I bought today. We live in a very small town and I have to buy our local paper for local stores and a Dallas paper for all of the stores I will pm.
lot-narth Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Got 5 papers, some at different places, for the Macy's coupon - and - no Macy's ad
elena_398 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 This will be the 3rd year in a row now that I have to call and get a credit on my holiday paper. Missing most of my ads. Had to send my husband to get me another paper. Ridiculous
Tigger97498 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I'm not sure if its this way everywhere but here the Walmart ad doesnt come in the paper it comes in the mail. We got ours last Saturday. As far as missing ads we didnt get Radio shacks ad. I think thats it for missing ones. but hey I got 3 for office depot so no chance of losing that one and for me its the most important one cuz it has my monitor in it lol.
sigrist_2000 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 missing ToysRus and Circuit City!!! two of my major ads for price matching...( luckily Circuit City has some of the items i need on there website and after $24 free shipping ...now what to do about Toysrus... i bought 2 papers, mom bought 1 and another off paper and none of them had either...weird....lol
theboyzmom Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 didn't even realize I was missing Radio Shack until I read this....oh well
propergrammar Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I got 5 Home Depot ads in one paper, though I'm realizing now that while I got a MovieStop ad, I didn't get a GameStop one.
booga12345 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I am missing KB Toys and KMart ( I think that one might have came in the mail yesterday and I haven't checked yet).
Mugglemom Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I always miss something, but this year is the WORST! I bought two diff papers from two diff stores. Was missing: Gamestop Target Kohls Modells Macys AWFUL!
cpg117 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I got 2 different papers and didn't get a Pennys, CVS, Lowes, Home Depot and Bed Bath and Beyond. I don't think I got a Dicks ad either and there are probably several smaller stores I am forgetting. I thought the newspapers looked really small for a Thanksgiving paper. I have complained to the newspapers and to the stores in the past about missing ads and am told they don't always have enough to go around and am so greatfull for this site and the online ads that are available to us every week.
lucyismycat Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Missing Macys, Circuit City, Toys R Us, Bed Bath & Beyond, Radio Shack, Ace, Sears and Walgreens. Wasn't planning on hitting any of these stores, tho. What irks me about it is that our newspaper charges double the normal price for today's paper because of all the ads!
kjunea Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I didn't get Walmart or Kohls. Walmart was in the wednesday paper, which I didn't go get. I didn't get Kohls last year and actually emailed them, complaining about it. They emailed me back and said they are selective about where they place their circulars and since there is no Kohls on this side of town, they don't put an ad in the papers that are delivered to this side of town! Helps them cut costs, I guess. Luckily, brother's sister in law brought a paper to thanksgiving lunch and it had both walmart and kohls in it. I had already looked at all the ads multiple times on gottadeal, but I still like to touch the actually ad.
BellaVita Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I also got two and am missing toyrus, babiesrus, sears,wal mart
wispy204 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Missing TRU, Kohls and Target. Got 2 Gamestop and 4 Macy's. :confused:
mkayte Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 missing ToysRus and Circuit City!!! two of my major ads for price matching...( luckily Circuit City has some of the items i need on there website and after $24 free shipping ...now what to do about Toysrus... i bought 2 papers, mom bought 1 and another off paper and none of them had either...weird....lolAdvertisers doesn't normally buy enough to put the ad in every single paper the newspaper prints that day. The number of papers the newspapers print varies based on a number of factors, including day of the week, how that paper sold on that day last year, what the immediate sales trends are and even what kind of news/sports happened the day before. So, for example, Target might have bought insert placement in 110,000 papers, but the newspaper actually printed 134,821 papers on Thanksgiving day. The inserts are put in home delivery papers first. They usually run out before all the single-copy papers are printed. So there are nearly 25,000 papers out in the stores without the Target ad -- not because the newsapaper left it out, but because Target did not buy the entire run. If you're going out and buying the paper from a box or retail location, you are lessening your chances of getting all the ads. And it's that way every day, not just on Thanksgiving.
msl94 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I did not receive ads from Wal-Mart, Five Below, and Sports Authority. What is really interesting is that I received Kmart's Friday & Saturday ad in both the mail and in the newspaper.
iluvwalmart Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I bought 2 papers & got 3 Target ads. LMAO I didnt get a JC Penny's ad.
afancyfeline4u Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I didn't get the toysrus ad... We never get the wal-mart ad in the paper here...it comes in the mail...
