Yep, it's our favorite time of the year again. Looks like Sears is going to be the leader again this year. Over 599 doorbusters:eek: (I'll let someone else add them up). As always, enjoy.:)

Doorbusters in the first part. Two day sale in the second.

90K5, you're my HERO too!! I love you! Just kidding. (But really, you ROCK!!)

You know it's Black Friday time when 90K5 shows up. You are the man, as always! :highfive:

Looks like a new washer and dryer set for me this year. Gotta look at the specs on it though!!

Get there really early. The doorbuster front load pair last year turned into a fiasco as hardly any stores had them in stock.

Great. Just my luck! Thanks for the info.

WTF. BRB quitting my job before BF.

Quick hide this ad from my hubby. when he sees a 46 inch LED TV for $1600 I can hear it already UGH lol

Thanks!

Looks like you can get an extra 10% off or 18 months no interest if you use your Sears card making it $1440 if you took the 10%.

Never mind. The fine print says it's not valid on Samsung :(

Thanks

Yeah...thanks and repped!

delicious

I see they aren't having their free _____ for the first so many in the door. I wonder why

Thanks. Looking forward to more of your BF deal postings.

Wow already? Thanks!!

Looking forward to more ads in the upcoming weeks :).

oh bs SD. Can't click on outside links on SD mobile? :mad:

Stupid GD and other sites for ripping of the hard work of a good SDer without giving any credit. We need water marks on these ads before they are uploaded to stop crappy site hosts like brad from riping ads and claiming them as their own. Freaking Jerk

LOVE how if you call them on the lack of credit where credit is due they pull your post. @$$holes

$25 for a craftsman angle grinder? Sweet!

rep for the ad .... boooooooo sears for pretty normal deals on bf...

I don't see them claiming "exclusive" though like last year, so that's fine, but the guy on that site is still a complete dick.

If you guys want more ads posted on SD, you should make sure you don't support GD and the asshole that runs the site because he was being a complete ass on SD last year. He keep signing up for accounts thinking he was all great like a self-obsessed ass with a huge ego and posting some bullsh*t about why his site was better etc. Honestly..I wanted to get a couple people and DDoS the guy's site last year since he was being a smug smartass.

Anyway, other than that, it seems fine. Bfads.net is still my favorite alternate BF ad site so if you must use any BF ad site..use them :) the owner is really nice :)

I wanna know what became of Rossman over there. He seemed cool since he left it just SUCKS. The traffic over there has been in a downward spiral for a few years though

YAY for SD and getting the ad's first. SD ROCKS

Well, so far I can stay in bed. These are some pretty lukewarm prices for TV's. Everything else just ok.....only standouts for those that need are the top load washer dryer pair for $499, the over the range SS microwave for $179,the kids coats for $12, and [I]maybe[/I ]the steel toed workboots for $35. The down comforters for $20 are also nice if you want to make a guest room or twin kids bed nice. They are only 233 TC though. 400 and I would be at Sears at 4 a.m. 233 I'll probably pass.

Thanks OP for posting, though, I was dying to see the ad. Thanks and repped.

Don't forget Brad called walmart on us and tried to get us/SD in trouble.

90k5 strikes again!

So after review..I might drop by Sears like the day after to pick up that two pack water bottle (as long as it's BPA-free...been meaning to get one for a while now), and everything else is crap/way too high priced for BF. I can't believe have of the stuff are considered "Doorbusters". Am I the only one that things Sears/Kmart should have gone out of business like a LONG time ago? How the heck did they survive beyond CoircuiCity with prices like this?

90k5 strikes again!

He's our secret weapon :whee:

So...........

The sears black friday scan is out........some O.K. deals are to be had.

One of the better video game deals: Dragon Age RPG for only 39.99 one week after release.

ENJOY!!!

http://www.blackfriday.info/sales/sears-black-friday-ad.html

Nothing to write home about, but thanks for the ad.

I don't think I'll go through lines and a sea of people just to get a set of pliers and some cooking utensils.

:yawn:

+3 OP! So far, so lame, though. Sears' prices aren't bringing the wow for me. I'm already feeling a repeat of last year coming on where every consecutive ad becomes more underwhelming than the last until WalMart is finally leaked and (sadly) salvages Black Friday. I'm hoping for the bombshell to be true - legend has it Target will PM Black Friday doorbusters to take a shot at WalMart this year . . . and though unlikely, I timed my 10% Redcard coupon for BF, just in case.

Here's to hoping! :whee:

I've been waiting for this game for ages, and this is the best price so far!! I'll be taking the Sears BBF ad somewhere to price match. Thanks OP!!

good luck, not many stores price match BF ads though

Panasonic 42" 1080p plasma TC-P42S1 $649.99? WEAK! It was just $699.99 in sears last week. Best Buy has it for $699.99 right now, which means I can get it at Sears right now for $620.99 with the price match and a 10% discount for putting it on my Sears Card!

good luck, not many stores price match BF ads though

Pretty much any store with a price match policy will, as long as it's the same exact item.

OP did you know theres a Black Friday part of the forum?

did you know that if you want a deal on dragon age, it is better to search for dragon age then to search for black friday?

Dragon Age RPG for only 39.99 one week after release.


Actually, it's coming out 11/3 now. My plan:

1. Buy from Wal-Mart on release day for $60.00.
2. Wait until Black Friday (or after) and buy another copy from Wal-Mart with the Sears BF ad at $40.
3. Return the 2nd copy with the receipt from the first purchase at $60.00.

OP did you know theres a Black Friday part of the forum?

GTFO! :wave:

I :heart: you and your work, 90K5 :hug:

did you know that if you want a deal on dragon age, it is better to search for dragon age then to search for black friday?

lol so angry:shake:, there's BF section apart from Hot deals

i'll probably just get on steam

also i dont see how anyone expects to get anything on black friday hehe

sears discarded from my BF strategy. Thanks for the ad!

Thanks 90K5 for posting the ad! BTW, what is up with all of the "doorbusters"? Are we supposed to form a giant mob and try to bust down the door at Sears so we can be the first to get the Snuggler for $10?

Pretty sure that proscan 40" TV was 499 at sears last week unless I am mistaken, I think I seen it there and at best buy both last week for that price.

Pretty much any store with a price match policy will, as long as it's the same exact item.

Still not likely. Most of those stores' policies make a special exception for BF sale prices. It would be worth your while to check ahead of time instead of at 5:00 in the morning on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

Plus am I bonkers or is it not actually in the list at that link? --NEVERMIND, I see it in the ad scans. Too bad they don't have the LE version in the ad also, but I am supremely interested in Brütal Legend at 39.99.....

If you look at the ad scan, it also shows Forza 3 at $40 which is also a good price for those who aren't jumping into the B2G1 that are everywhere.

horrible deals

FAILURE #1: Samsung LN40B500, that was a older model with 2-hdmi ports, discontinued end of 2008.
FAILURE #2: Proscan 40" for $539.99-this is the horrible failed model at best buy with the clicking sound when it's off, and sears thinks this is a deal? it was $499.99 in july.
FAILURE #3: Zenith? omg.. welcome back to 1995.

i feel sorry for the suckers who are gonna get up at 4am to get these deals. Sears: Life well spent changed to Sears: We're lame!

That proscan was $499 months ago at bestbuy.

and despite the bad review, the tv works great, no clicking sound whatsoever.

thank you and repp

the 39.99 drill looks good

I think that the Black Friday sites have learned that there is no such thing as an exclusive advertisement anymore. Back in the olden days (read: 2004-2005), it was possible that if timed correctly, one site could have an advertisement featured for about 12 hours before the other site got wind of it. Now there are hundreds (seriously, hundreds) of Black Friday sites that within minutes of posting, it's going to be parodied all over the internet.

It'll be an "exclusive" for all of 5 minutes before every other site has it.

wow there are so many great deals. thanks OP.

I see they aren't having their free _____ for the first so many in the door. I wonder whyWell they can always add those in the coming weeks and do a supplemental... this isn't "out" so they can make any changes they want. Hopefully they will surf these sites and learn from the feedback Yeah & Nay!

Looks like a new washer and dryer set for me this year. Gotta look at the specs on it though!!I started researching the Samsung models (high efficiency) models before I noticed the Kenmore High Effeciency. The Samsungs are rated (20) 5-stars, (2) 2- stars, & (2) 1-Stars but some of them are goofy. ONe was mad because the manual recommends a higher amp circuit breaker than what is actually possible to run the machine on ??? I know I'm enraged just like when a graphics card says 500 watts and runs no sweat on a quality 350 watts.
OMG though who the hell is going to pay $189 x (2) to get the Pedistles ...basically a freaking drawer that they sit on COME ON!!

Haven't looked into the Kenmore yet but fairly excited that there are two deals.

ehhhh..
deals are not the best.

I really hope this isn't the ad that comes out... The kids jackets were about the best thing on the ad... Everything else, still way overpriced for Doorbusters.... I hope they do look at feedback and consider changing their prices, heck, I have seen their regular flyers look better than this....

Oh, man. $699 for the 50" plasma, and $149 for a lift-bowl mixer. Crap.

I'm going to run through my budget in one friggin purchase!!! Hellooooooooooooo Sears!

Whoa, look out Walmart, I may be going to Sears first this year!!!!!!

oh, and the Progressive upright vacuum is $199--cheapest I've ever seen it!

Looks like a new washer and dryer set for me this year. Gotta look at the specs on it though!!

stay away from the Kenmore HE3t and HE4t washers...unless you want to spend another $350 on an upgraded circuit board...research the F11 error code...but, there is a way to hack and fix it with some solder and a soldering gun. I don't have the link with me, but I'll try to get it when I'm at home for the DYI fix.

If the Vizio 32" HDTV? is $350, how much do you guys think a comparable model will cost at Best Buy? (I plan on going there because I have $200 in gift cards.)

Thanks.

Possible Fail: KDL46S504 would probably equate to KDL46S5100
Possible Fail #2: KDL40S504 would probably equate to KDL40S5100
Possible Fail #3: KDL-32L504 might be KDL-32L5000

They will probably do this to get around from doing price matches. We won't be able to do a price match at Walmart more than likely because it's a totally different model number.

:worship: 90K5 :worship:

Liking the game deals.

Looking at some of their HTIB prices, they are already getting beat by amazon. The $329 Sony system is already on amazon for $319 readily available with free shipping

I must have missed a post of his cause all I see is him basking in his own glory of posting the sears ad and having pulled my post asking to give credit where credit is due on the ad.

Nothing interesting for the TV deals. I hope someone pulls through with a good LED LCD.

ever worked before?
I want to be sure i'm clear on the verbage, for the washer and dryer front load set it is 499 total for both pairs. or a total of 1000? sorry have never bought a set b4 and really havenn't researched the prices. but i'll start now...

Ok, so I know this is an ongling debate regarding the 30 day price guarantee, but I read through the fine print and didn't see where it says anything about it. Unless I missed it... can anyone see if there is a stipulation that they will not do a price match if they offer something cheaper within 30 days when it comes to BF deals? Specifically, I've been eyeing that Samsung washer/dryer pair, and considered just buying it now and invoking the 30-day lowest price guarantee, but ppl are saying that they generally won't let you... but I don't see where it says no.

I don't see where it says you can't either, yet managers at times like to play the villian so it's definatly ymmv.

so help me with this.

is it 499 total for both washer and dryer, or 1000 total for the pair.
just want to be sure i'm clear on the verbage.

Last year we bought a w/d set the day before BF and the sales associate just price adjusted it on Black Friday for us. No call no hassles. Maybe we just got lucky with a great SA. We even got the extra $ off they were advertising that morning.

That would be awesome, because it's one of the 2-day deals, so it's not like I'd even have to go out in the craziness of BF to get my price match.

I would check in advance. If they do, you would need to go into the store for the adjustment during the sales times

^^
I would not only get a manager to confirm price match but get there name and position in the store too. We have a hateful store around here and you could forget even trying to get them to give you the price marked when stuff is marked wrong.. much less price matching on black friday (trust me, btdt)...

Thanks

Right now, I am putting the Kenmore Elite washer and dryer set on the top of my list. $1,000 for the pair seems like a great deal!

Looks like you can get the 42inch Zenith plasma now. Doesn't look like any of the other deals are going on yet though.

Sears to have a weekly "Black Friday" event.

Sears took "Christmas creep" one step further Wednesday, pitching its weekly sales as "Black Friday doorbuster" deals before Halloween. (http://slickdeals.net/?sdtid=1628241&u2=http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2009/10/28/business-specialized-consumer-services-us-early-black-friday_7057482.html)[forbes.com (http://slickdeals.net/?sdtid=1628241&u2=http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2009/10/28/business-specialized-consumer-services-us-early-black-friday_7057482.html)]

Sears spokeswoman Natalie Norris-Howser said the deals will rotate each week. But they'll be available only from 7 a.m. until noon each Saturday. (For the first week of the promotion, Sears will begin the sales this Friday at 5 p.m.)

Among the discounts advertised by Sears are a 302-piece Craftsman mechanic's tool set that's half off, a $400 elliptical machine that typically sells for $700, and $80 diamond earnings that are marked down almost 70 percent.

The following week's specials include a 42-inch Zenith plasma screen TV for $499, about 23 percent off.

good luck, not many stores price match BF ads though

They wont because they will only pricematch instock items. when they call sears to check stocks -- it'll be game over.

4 am!!! WOW im glad i dont work there anymore. just an FYI. Sears will have a "friends and family" sale on a sunday night in november. During this sale i saw prices that were cheaper than black friday prices on many things. now im not talking about the highly visible door buster stuff (washer and dryer, LCD, etc) but on alot of the tools and lawn and garden stuff. I ended up buy alot of my stuff that night instead of on black friday. in most departments you get an additional 10% off from 6-9pm on that sunday night...

just wanted to let you know.

You are correct. They have done this for the past few years and I would expect them to do it again. You can get pretty much all of the Two Day Sale items for the same price or cheaper. It's hit and miss on the Doorbusters though.

They wont because they will only pricematch instock items. when they call sears to check stocks -- it'll be game over.

Uhh, I have NEVER had this happen at Wal-Mart. They will simply look at the ad, then look at their item to make sure it's the exact same thing. They NEVER call other stores to "make sure it's in stock."

So, I was happy to see a 37" LCD for $399. Then I realized that it doesn't even have a QAM tuner.

Bah.

I have easily pricematched Sears BF ads at Walmart and at Lowes. Lowes even matched Sears on the 20% off all bench power tools they had last year.

UGH! 4 am NO WAY! No sears for me. This worries me about the walmart time now.

$25 for a craftsman angle grinder? Sweet!

If I'm not mistaken, Craftsman electric tools are built by the lowest bidder, like Ryobi and B&D. Not really a good deal since the angle grinder will get hot the first time you use it and the grease that packed the bearings will melt out on the first use.

If it's for light duty work (less than a minute use at a time) or a gift, then $25 is fine.

Is any of their 40" - 42" LCD TV's worth the 4AM wait? I can't seem to find any specs on the Samsung model LN40B500.

Oh this is funny, they have some weird snake shaped "engagement ring" for $1K.

It looks like something you'd buy for a babbymomma while you save money to skip town.

guys think kenmore for 579 a pair ?? great deal?
what times would you guys be waiting in front of the store? does 12am sounds good ?

Get there really early. The doorbuster front load pair last year turned into a fiasco as hardly any stores had them in stock.

On the surface the deal looks sharp 579 for the pair of machines. However I see online they have both for 1300 with the two pedestals included (200 ea) and delivery. Does that include install also? The BF deal says something about not including delivery?

If I add the pedestals for 400 the BF deal goes to about 1000 + deliv and setup? Is this correct. Or will they offer the pedestals as a special price for the two. I think you need them.

Rob

Thanks for the ad post.
Unfortunatley these are pretty lame deals. Hope other stores do better than this. I am looking for a panny tc-p54g10. Which they have for 1549 on BF. I can get it right now through the panny epp website for over $100 less AND with a Blueray player. Come on Sears! won't be going there this year it looks like.

The online listings don't include pedestals. You do not need them for operation of the units.

Some good deals on tools, but nothing I would wait in line for. From the ad sounds like I "might" be able to order a lot of that the day before!

What are the chances of getting the Samsung washer/dryer combo for 1000? I am moving into a new house mid-November and need a set and was actually ready to buy that specific combo. I am willing to wait 2-3 weeks to save a few hundred. Will I have a reasonable chance of getting them if I order it online on Thanksgiving? Anyone have experience with this?

yea i would like to know for the kenmore ones also

Thanks OP!

IMO, I think this is a good ad as I'm not looking to get any major electronics/appliances at Sears.

woot! I love sears BF they always warrant a visit

yea i would like to know for the kenmore ones also

Check the front page of the scan, it shows a pair of Kenmore front load washer and dryer combo for $580 though its a door buster item, so you will need to wait in line EARLY IN THE MORNING! =D

Some things stand out to me like:
Sharp 19" lcd tv for $180
Panasonic 42S1 $650 (if you want to pick it up B&M this is the lowest it has been)
Panasonic 54G10 (same as above)
New Release video games for $40
Samsung front load washer dryer combo for $1000 (highly rated)

Otherwise some of their prices are not that great or are on items which are specifically made for them and probably compromise on specs. If you look at a lot of the tv's in the top of the ad, you will notice that you cannot find the models anywhere else.

I was hoping they would have some sort of adjustable dumbbells on sale, but they only have the Weider ones for $299, even though they had them on sale last week for $289. So far I will probably not be going to Sears.

This is awesome I get to buy the canon for my honey.

4 am!!! WOW im glad i dont work there anymore. just an FYI. Sears will have a "friends and family" sale on a sunday night in november. During this sale i saw prices that were cheaper than black friday prices on many things. now im not talking about the highly visible door buster stuff (washer and dryer, LCD, etc) but on alot of the tools and lawn and garden stuff. I ended up buy alot of my stuff that night instead of on black friday. in most departments you get an additional 10% off from 6-9pm on that sunday night...

just wanted to let you know.

true, i was there last year on both friends and family night and on black friday--tool prices were better F&F night

This is awesome I get to buy the canon for my honey.
I give my honey the canon daily for free!:D

Man I don't see any big steals really, the tv's are right where they have been the last couple months, I wanted a 40" lcd, 120hz in store for like 540ish

does this start tomorrow oct. 30 at 4am

i was at the store today and they have no idea whats going with this.. one sales guy said he will quit if the store opens at 4am. the manager only said the doors open at 9am and the doorbusters start at 5pm..

im pretty sure by 5pm, most of the tv's will be gone..


so when does this start?

thanks

just found out the samsung pn50b530 is not even carried at sears at the location next to me and they will not have them... price is $899 on the add.. wtf

Nice ad with some interesting prices, but what's up with these absurd quantities? Camcorders minimum 2 per store. Portable DVD players - 3 per store. SD cards - 8 per store. on and on. Seriously? Those doorbusters will be sold out in 5 minutes.

Sears doesn't make it easy on some folks, saying they'll be doing "Black Friday" deals up till the actual day of Black Friday. The fact being most of these early deals are not worth having on the actual Black Friday.

How does sears do black friday? there are often several entrances to the store, is it a mad dash to what you want or do they do like bestbuy and hand out tickets for the big ticket items?

Never seen them use tickets. It's always been a dash. Of course it may depend upon the store.

My understanding is $1000 total for the pair... but you have to buy both to get that price.
That would be awesome, because it's one of the 2-day deals, so it's not like I'd even have to go out in the craziness of BF to get my price match. I don't think either of the $1000 sets or the other sets either will last more than the first 20 minutes before they are sold out!

I don't see where it says you can't either, yet managers at times like to play the villian so it's definatly ymmv.
so help me with this.
is it 499 total for both washer and dryer, or 1000 total for the pair.
just want to be sure i'm clear on the verbage.Your talking about the set on Page 41 right? It's both for $499... It's about ~$120 less than there frequent of this or similar model.

so how does it work if you bought that 499 set of washer/dryer say a week ahead of time, paid for delivery, set up the delivery date after BF, then come in the day of bf and 'return' the set ad rebuy?
ever worked before?
I want to be sure i'm clear on the verbage, for the washer and dryer front load set it is 499 total for both pairs. or a total of 1000? sorry have never bought a set b4 and really havenn't researched the prices. but i'll start now...

thanksI had ALWAYS thought that most stores allowed PM (for a specific period)...UNLESS they throw in a EXCEPT BF or NO BF etc. riders then you can pre-buy and PM. EDIT: ((But with that thread dedicated to saying NO you can't; looks like my plan to help my folks get a 21st century W&D start at 10PM the night before? - I'm get sick easy I so i might wuss out w/o a S/D buddy))) I'm not saying it's that way at Sears. But it should be easy to find online. Print out a copy & don't open / do anything with the set until you have your PM in hand. Make sure there is No restocking fee and that should make it no risk.

You are correct. They have done this for the past few years and I would expect them to do it again. You can get pretty much all of the Two Day Sale items for the same price or cheaper. It's hit and miss on the Doorbusters though.I've forgotten what do you need to do (just sign up for emails) to get the friends and family invites?

OR.... Maybe I'll...
COVERT SUGGESTION: You've got PLENTY of time to implement this. Find your desired store for BF deals. Find out where they get there shirts/uniforms and buy one. Arrive early some morning(s) between now & then and find out how they enter the store (do they need to slide a card, or do they just go in the front doors/back doors etc. Find out the managers name or a regional manager etc. So that you can name drop that (so & so highered you for the holidays but wanted you to get your feet wet running errands).
BF, have civilian cloths underneath. Wait for and quickly get out of your car and walk in with a crowd of workers. If you get that far go hide in the can (bathroom) until it's time to get your loot. Ah fruck it that's too much work!

im sorry.. i just have to:) .. Nevermind ill leave it to someone else:)
But yeah this is for Black Friday...hmm.. day after thanksgiving.. where have you been...lol :)

I can understand the confusion. Our local news just ran a story about how Sears was going to be starting their "black friday" deals tomorrow. So, there may be some truth to it.

FAILURE #1: Samsung LN40B500, that was a older model with 2-hdmi ports, discontinued end of 2008.
FAILURE #2: Proscan 40" for $539.99-this is the horrible failed model at best buy with the clicking sound when it's off, and sears thinks this is a deal? it was $499.99 in july.
FAILURE #3: Zenith? omg.. welcome back to 1995.

i feel sorry for the suckers who are gonna get up at 4am to get these deals. Sears: Life well spent changed to Sears: We're lame!

The only thing that wasn't more annoying than your use of the word "FAILURE" was that you didn't use "EPIC FAILURE". What is it with people nowadays? If you don't like the deal then move on. Btw- using all caps is rude, unless that's your way of saying this was more than just a simple Failure.

Just checked my local sears ad for Friday Saturday, it is a different sales flyer with much less offered and much higher prices. I will not be getting out for that is the weather we are expected to have today.:shake:

How does sears do black friday? there are often several entrances to the store, is it a mad dash to what you want or do they do like bestbuy and hand out tickets for the big ticket items?

They do some kind of combination of the two. Last year my sister and I went for the Blu-ray player. We lined up outside before opening near the electronics, and everyone just ambled in, but others were coming from other entrances as well. In the electronics, at least, people lined up for the small electronics, which were locked up, and they were all given tickets for what they wanted. Then they shuffled along in a very long line to get their goods. BTW, we never located the advertised Blu-ray, though we were there at opening. We also checked what others carried and were carrying out, and nobody had the Blu-ray player. There must have been "minimum of zero per store".

I just got an email saying they're doing Black Friday doorbusters today at 5 pm. What??? :) :) SeriouslY?

It says NO PEEKING when I try to click it so I'm guessing these prices aren't advertised in the local ad.

That's what I was talking about. They're doing something today, I'm just not sure what.

It has been spread about the news outlet and whatnot that Sears intended to have "Black Friday sales" each weekend up to the actual Black Friday. Again, it hasn't looked that impressive.

In the sears BF ad, it has guitar hero world tour for 49.99, but, I just bought it at BB for 47.99 before the buy 2 get one deal, so, about 34 dollars if you figure in the free game...

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but when I searched I only found Pre BF ads.

Sears has just revealed their official Black Friday Ad.

http://www.blackfday.com/blackfday.com-sears.pdf

There are to many deals to list. Have a look!

There happens to be an entire sub-forum about BF.

http://slickdeals.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=41

Thanks awsome. If a mod could delete this post, that would be great.

The LN40B500 is not an "older" model, ive seen the box to last years and the box of this years. The Design is different, not just on the box but the panel as well. (Almost looks like the b530 except it looks like it doesnt have the plastic on the bottom of the tv)


This LN40b500 is the model you will see other retailers sell as well.

These tv's have very low margins and i would imagine the price would remain at 600 throughout the holidays.

Sad, expected better deals on the 32-37' LCD's. The GE Camera is nice though.

Regarding big items like appliances, if I want a bunch of the doorbusters (washer/dryer, range, fridge) how do I manage it? You don't walk out with the appliance, it gets delivered, so what's it like at Sears on BF - do I go around grabbing order tickets or do I have to talk to an agent in each department, etc?

just a mediocre ad.

sears closed down near me

Watch out, you better do your research before you jump on any of these TVs!

That 55" LCD LG 55LH40 is listed in the ad as 240Hz when it is only 120Hz

Amazon sells the same TV for $150 less and free shipping right now! http://www.amazon.com/LG-55LH40-55-Inch-1080p-120Hz/dp/B001VKYAK4

Sears disappoints again. This might be the last Christmas they get to disappoint us.

Looks like a new washer and dryer set for me this year. Gotta look at the specs on it though!!

Forget about looking at the specs, don't let this deal pass if you need laundry. Just get in line and buy it. It is the true steal of this Day After ThanksGiving (DATG). The Kenmore HE3T with Steam is a SUPER machine!!! There many other good deals, but this is the steal! Washer retails 1299 by itself! Good sale would be 999 at best by itself. But you get the washer and dryer!

just a mediocre ad.

I would agree. If you've been following electronics trends, these are good deals but not steals. Though, if you are not looking for the highest specs, there are decent low priced TVs out there. The deal that stands out are the laundry pair specials! MAYBE some early purchase opportunities without the chaos on November 15th. Sears' Friends and Family/VIP event. 6pm-9pm.

Regarding big items like appliances, if I want a bunch of the doorbusters (washer/dryer, range, fridge) how do I manage it? You don't walk out with the appliance, it gets delivered, so what's it like at Sears on BF - do I go around grabbing order tickets or do I have to talk to an agent in each department, etc?

Talk to a salesman a day or two before and get the plans completed. Come in at open and tell him/her to RING, RING! hahaha. First in, first out. Don't forget, there are limits to stock. 1000 Stores ringing up 10 sets = 10,000 sets! I can't even imagine what that would look like! hehehe.

I don't think either of the $1000 sets or the other sets either will last more than the first 20 minutes before they are sold out!

Don't count on ANY PM! Most retailers will no longer honor the PM guarantee for limited time, limited quantity offers (especially BF deals!). I believe there was an occassion where Walmart customers ran in looking for a doorbuster and they'd already sold out before the store opened? how? they sold them all with a PM. Customers just came back for the adjustment. How mad would you be if you camped out all night? :lol:This probably will not fly anymore for retailers!

im sorry.. i just have to:) .. Nevermind ill leave it to someone else:)
But yeah this is for Black Friday...hmm.. day after thanksgiving.. where have you been...lol :)

The advertised hours take precedent. Most stores will be open at 4am unless that is somehow prohibited. In reguards to the person who was wondering about this and stating that the employee would quit. I think you may be confused as to when the ad takes place. It would be Black Friday! Day After ThanksGiving! lol!

yea i would like to know for the kenmore ones also

I would highly recommend not to do it online. There is a delay time to process order. I believe the process is that payment is confirmed first then, order. I would visit someone in the store. Check with the Friends and Family event if you don't want to get up early. They may be running BETTER specials. Don't know exactly what's going to happen for friends and family yet. It's funny how someone from the inside does not know what's happening on Nov 15th, yet someone from the outside of sears knows what in store for November 27th!

Uhh, I have NEVER had this happen at Wal-Mart. They will simply look at the ad, then look at their item to make sure it's the exact same thing. They NEVER call other stores to "make sure it's in stock."

What good is the best price if there's no stock and no raincheck?

Sure... happens all the time. (http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1622532)

sure it could be done, it's the ethics in question

Quote from sillysaum :
Last year we bought a w/d set the day before BF and the sales associate just price adjusted it on Black Friday for us. No call no hassles. Maybe we just got lucky with a great SA. We even got the extra $ off they were advertising that morning.
That would be awesome, because it's one of the 2-day deals, so it's not like I'd even have to go out in the craziness of BF to get my price match.

Don't count on the second day or price adjusting. PM is VERY VERY YMMV. it isn't standard practice anyway

I think the $20 down King & Queen comforters are a good price. I don't care about 223 thread count or whatever it is. I've two Pacific down comforters, none of them have high thread counts. I know, because I couldn't afford any of the high thread count models. I never had any problems with huge feathers coming out. The feathers come out anyways, even with the larger thread counts.

rep for the ad .... boooooooo sears for pretty normal deals on bf...
40" samsung 1080p for $599 is not a normal deal

Do NOT get the Kenmore set. The washer is junk! My friend bought the pair last Black Friday The washer smells like old socks and she followed all directions to keep the door open and dry out the basket. Many others have had troubles as well.

can't wait till black friday

They have a 54" Panny Plasma for $1500...What a deal. It was $1200 2 months ago at Costco..

Disappointing deals, atleast on electronics.

Sears has Zenith 42" plasma 720p "on sale" now for $499.99, advertised as "Black Friday Now". They've got to be kidding, with similar Panny available on Dell for $529 before bing and other discounts.

Do you own it? Looking for more information.

Do NOT get the Kenmore set. The washer is junk! My friend bought the pair last Black Friday The washer smells like old socks and she followed all directions to keep the door open and dry out the basket. Many others have had troubles as well.This post is what I call frustrating... Because # one there are THREE Kenmore W & D sets (that I could find) in the Blk Fri ad for 2009.

One seems like the older type model (most likely to give you problems with standing water - smells), one seems like a higher eff. version in the same style as the older models, and one that is the new high eff. type/model. So for you to make a blanket statement about all Kenmore's first of all is just silly, and to base it on second party knowledge is further frustrating. There are several water issues that can cause certain odors.

You don't give any data other than it was last year & Kenmore. I for one can't recall the entire Blk Fri ad from 2008, so what type was it?
We've had issues with our water from time to time, sometimes the rod(s) in the hot water heater causes this or when it is gone actually; we got a water softener and a few years later started getting stinky water (that company blames everything else but their equipment). It doesn't smell when it comes out but if it sits on a dish towel, or in a bucket it does after time. Not sure how you can blame a washing machine for the smell of the smell? Or how you can say ALL KENMORES' anything... based on what you've said.

On EVERY older style washer we've had, there has always been water than after the spin cycle was done would fall and collect below. Then you just had to run a bit of water in FIRST and run the emptying spin cycle to push that stinky water out so it didn't mix with the clean water we were about to wash with.

EDIT: OP pointed out there can be an issue i was not aware of with H.E. W/D regarding odor / and posts some remedies.... I still think the rest of it, saying the whole line is crap b/c of odor, OR because of a friends use of it isn't helpful. It's like saying all Chevy's are bad because they use gas! Yes, so do other vehicles, it would however be fair to say Model (ABCDEFG) - Uses twice as much gas as (XYZ) and repair bulletin's show that a large percentage of that model from year (## to ##) have transmission seals go... etc. ("...specifics Bob, specifics" ~ Phenomenon)

The reviews for the Samsung High Eff. Washer & dryer set seem better than the Kenmore. But I don't see the Steam functions like on the Kenmore? Anyone doing research into these two models have any suggestions or thoughts?

Also Square Trade does do warranties (have to buy a separate one for each but I haven't read the fine print as to if they send out repairer or ? (I was surprised when I read for example that you have to ship 32" TV's in they don't send someone out).

I don't have an AmerX CC but Visa offers to double warranties up to 1 Year for free (IDK if that includes appliances W/D), and in the past I've bought a extended warranty from them for 10% of a laptop's price for 4 years.

I believe Sears warranty would be about double what ST's goes for, any other thoughts on protecting these?

I have some relatives that live outside the Twin Cities, and they bought a coverage plan for their appliances through their utility company. It's a few bucks a month but they already had a dishwasher serviced several times, hot water heater repaired.... It's dirt cheap compared to the amount they have used it.

They have a 54" Panny Plasma for $1500...What a deal. It was $1200 2 months ago at Costco..

Costco' is not the same model but you are right.

I am new to going to sears for BF, i usually hit the hellhole of walmart, How does the doorbusters work? I wanted the $19.99 down comforters them have, do i get a ticket or just need to be there early?

You need a ticket, they have started handing them out at a few stores, YMMV though. Go check and report back.

All high-effeciency frontloaders can develop odors since they seal so tight and use so little water. You're friend is correct in leaving the door open after a load to allow air to circulate. There is a product out now to help clean and eliminate HE washer odors. It's called Affresh. I've never tried it, I just run empty loads of vinegar and then baking soda to deodorize mine.

I'm looking to buy the Samsung LN40B500 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Sears has it for $599.99 an it's on Amazon right NOW for $649.99 and you won't have to fight the crowds. I used to like Sears!

My reference to just going and getting them (HE3T w/Steam built by Whirlpool) is based on two factors.
VALUE and SOLID PERFORMANCE. I've sold dozens of them for around $2000. Very few issues and superb performance. This line is in 4th to 5th generation. Most years, the HE series (HE3T, HE4T, HE5T) are always within the top 5. HE4T has been discontinued but they kept the HE3T and did upgrades on it. This series (HE_T) trades blows with the equivalent Whirlpool Duet HT model and LG model consistantly. Normally, under $1000, you can only get a step up from the bare bones models of conventional w/d. About $450 for a conventional washer and about the same for a dryer. This is the REAL DEAL STEAL! ALL washers have the potential of odors. There is residual water in the drainage tube, especially in top load washers. Part of the residual water pressure helps to keep fresh water in the tubs on the next load. That is the reason most washers discharge into a drainage tub usually about 3 feet high. If you didn't have that type of tub and wanted to go straight to a drain hole, you'd have to adapt an anti-siphoning device onto the end of the discharge line. Under normal use, there should be little odor. The more prone models to odors have drainage holes higher up in the door gaskets, That is where the most water collects. Maytag Neptunes were the worst. I believe they were made by Samsung at the time. If odors are a concern, crack the door when you are done using it. The tight seals on some of the frontloading washers do not allow residual moisture to escape. That is actually good! You don't want any leaks! That residual moisture mixed with any biological materials would in a day or two possibly cause odor. Possibly, the only frontloading washers that may resist odors the best is the Samsung with silvercare (in theory). Silver ions naturally kill bacteria. Haven't heard much about error codes issues on the Kenmore Elite frontloading sets. I'm sure there may be, but not enough to warrant any caution. When there is sufficient service records, to warrant that, we get notification from Whirlpool and/or Sears/service. I feel 100% confident about the product when I sell it. And yes, I do own the previous version before the steam version. Nothing but good results.
Also, do not fall into the numbers game, there is almost no significant difference between 4 cubic feet and 4.7 cubic feet. In my floor experiment, they realistically only fit about the same amount of bath towels. It was just a little more roomy. The alternative? Spend $1000 more for a consumer magazine recommended machine (whatever that may be). Even if the HE3T was a so so machine, it's still a deal!
On the other machines, I would go with the Samsung set only if the HE3T was out of stock. The Kenmore Oasis with an agitator is a sweet machine if you the conventional style. Has high spin rate and is pretty efficient with a very large capacity. I like this one over the top loaders without agitators (just personal preference). The Kenmore $579 set is for those who just want to get away from toploading and go with a hair more capacity and get more water and energy efficiency (built by Frigidaire) . The Kenmore $499 (built by Whirlpool) set is for those who is broke! hehehe... Not a bad set though! Any more questions?
If you like the Kenmore Elite HE series built by Whirlpool, get them before they are gone. I think they will all transition to LG built soon. The transition has already started.

Thanks for the ad. I was looking for better deals on Blu-ray players ( under $100).

Do NOT get the Kenmore set [$599]. The washer is junk! My friend bought the pair last Black Friday The washer smells like old socks and she followed all directions to keep the door open and dry out the basket. Many others have had troubles as well.

You should note, that was the base model for all frontloading built by frigidaire. Very many similarities between the Kenmore and Frigidaire models yet somehow Frigidaire's unit got some best buy ratings. ??? they are essentially the same units! hehehe. Anyway, I would agree that it is not the best set but a good deal for the starter frontloader and for $579.

Thanks for the ad. I was looking for better deals on Blu-ray players ( under $100).

For that price I'll take one. Been holding off for a long time. Probably not going to happen until DVD players get discontinued I would imagine, maybe one step before.:shake:;)

We're not allowed to print the ad?

is that $99 pressure washer any good?

Thank you very much, I didnt want to just go around the security and post it without checking first.

So does insidesears get a kickback from Sears for every post he/she makes pimping sears?

As a matter of fact, no! I'm anonymous for your benefit! Did someone ask a question? I will not ask for ONE sale!

Hit Sears last year at 6 am..and it was packed.. as mentioned before Sears was out of the washer/dryer, and folks were going nuts..

I was wondering if this tv for 850.00 is a good deal or not

Sony 46" Class LCD HDTV #5771449/KDL-46S504

for a 46 inch sony(reliable brand) 1080p LCD TV I would consider it a great deal

I just bought the Sony 46" LCD HDTV KDL46V5100 listed for Black Friday at $1239.99 yesterday for about $ 1000 out the door with taxes at Sears. The TV was $ 1099 with 5% off and 10% if you use your sears card.

The TV deals are pretty weak for Sears on Black Friday.

I'm loving some of the bedding and bath deals, so I'm happy to hear so many disparaging remarks about everything else! Fewer of you to maneuver around!!

Now, any leads yet on a Scooba anywhere?

I went into Sears late last week to see the Kenmore He3t Steam W&D. "...they don't make one with steam?" was were we started from....but at the end I them finding it in their big book and looking at the upcoming Blk Friday ad. It's a bit of a frustration that they don't carry that model in my store so I couldn't get a look at it, and worries me a little bit that they will try and pull a fast one on B.F. if i'm not the very first or second person in line. They said in the past years they have had to Order some of the B.F. W&Dryer because none of them physically came to the store. (...so then we have to rely on them to sell the minimum quantity per store and not Bull$#it and lie that they are sold out).

Does this sound like a good deal to you guys?

Samsung 26 cu ft french door refrigerator #80022/RF267AE for 1399.99

To me it seems like a good price but I wanted to make sure.

Pretty weak particularly the flat screens, but the appliances (particularly W/D) and air hockey are appealing.

Beware of Sears pricematch, bought my flat screen there 2 years ago, followed all the instructions, never got the match and got shafted out of $300. Very upsetting, would never trust Sears again.

Sears PM policy is pretty straight forward. Not exactly sure what happened in your case but as with any retailer, there are exceptions like (limited time, limited quantity offers, no stock - no price match, etc.)

The non-steam model is not going to be at special pair pricing. It is very much like the steam one, without steam. That means, you get higher spec machine for a lower price whether you use the steam feature or not. The steam features can always be turned off.
Sears does not intentionally Bull$#it you. I can assure you that. Never has washer and dryer sales been a hot buy for BF, except for 2008. The purchasing response was grossly overwhelming last year and even store managers and appliance managers are still talking about the response now. They did everything they could in their power to fill customer orders even if it meant taking orders for machines to be built/ substituted, etc. Appliance sales nationwide for that timeframe was 90%+ marketshare. That means we honored our ad to a great majority of customers. Certainly we have learned something from last year. I foresee possible issues with the $999 samsung set since F&F customers will have a chance to buy it 2 sundays before BF ($1079). Other than that, the "minimum 2 per store" (in my opinion) is there for legal reasons. Most regional distribution centers can handle many, many units. They don't stock at the store because no one wants to pick up a 300 pound washer at the store. They deliver direct.

You can get one right now for about $1500-$1600, so it is cheaper then normal but not exceptional so. Depends on if the $100 is worth fighting the crowds or waiting the couple of weeks. Review seems pretty good on it.

InsideSears. I wouldn't say 3 doors are 'pricey' they are pretty much the Standard now for larger Fridges now. The 4 door ones (2 on the bottom) are the higher end/pricer models now a days.

I was one of those who bought the w/d last year. Sears kept changing the delivery date till it was around 4 months.

I finally cancelled and bought the same set from Lowes.

I was checking (looking for a new fridge myslef) and it appears the RF266AE is pretty much the exact same fridge except it doesn't have a wine/beverage rack and the temp adjust is inside as oppose to on the door (outside). Maybe it's last years model?? Anyway you can get the 266 for $1399 right now. FWIW

How are the deals on the tires (in the 2nd pdf)? Good? Lukewarm? Eh? I need some good snow tires.

Checked their website, looks like the 266 does not have a water / Ice dispenser.

Over the years I've heard some wonderful whoppers told in the appliance & TV departments right on up the chain. Anything from ignorance of store policy to a downright refusal to honor & follow those policies.
Not trying to be a super dick or anything, but my point was that (in my store when there is none of the BF Kenmore HE 3t on hand it's a strickly paper sale ==> when they say they are all gone that's the final word & (yes I just hauled a W&D for a family member in a truck no problem - we loaded & unloaded w/ small cart dolly & ramps with a bit of resistence from them at the bottom of the ramp), I can't walk out the door with the W&D and know that I have them, so I have to rely on them to sell me up to the minimum that they will be allowed to, and when I get an argument from them saying that W&D set doesn't even exist; from the start that doesn't make me feel extra confident in my chances (as I said w/o me being 1st, or 2nd in line).

Last thing. Those aren't the same Samsung models.

If you lived in NY, but were in FL for thanksgiving/BF...and wanted to try to get in on say a doorbuster washer/dryer from Sears. Would that be possible? Would you be able to place an order at the FL Sears and they could arrange a delivery date to your NY address???

I don't do BF anymore ;) but have looked at the ads year after year hoping....

Is it just my imagination in this ad-there's one thing I'd jump on if I did go, but...

Don't most ads say "minimum" of so many of the items? Why then does Sears say "Limit" of? Which means thats ALL they'll have, period? Instead of AT LEAST they'll have so many of that item?

I'd go for the WD set at 599 pair, but I'm not going to fight hundreds of people for ONLY 4 pairs, period :(

FYI, it seems that a LOT of the items, at least in the tools category, are on sale today online and tonight in stores for better prices than Black Friday! all of the items I have looked at thus far this morning have been onsale for their advertised BF price, before an additional 10% off online all day today, or 10% off in store at tonights Friends and family sale from 6-9pm!

So is there a code to enter for the 10% off everything else online or does it just automatically come off at checkout?


Thanks,

Jesse

How does the oven/range with free microwave deal look ?

The oven/range is selling for the same price currently, on BF you get a free microwave with it.

Nothing special in this, these are prices you can find right now without sale.

I tried as many suggested here to go in on the November. F&F (before Blk Friday) - Which was tonight to get the Blk Friday prices - 10%. NO GO!.... Insidesears the poster was correct as he posted on the F&F thread that it was not happening.

Nothing special in this, these are prices you can find right now without sale.Well come on... where are you going to find TWO front loader High Efficiency W&D sets like the Samsung & Kenmore for $999 for each pair.?

For the doorbuster is the Kenmore washer and dryer really $579 for the pair?!

For the doorbuster is the Kenmore washer and dryer really $579 for the pair?!

Yes it is. There were a lot of headaches over a similar deal last year. Hopefully this year will be better.

Quick hide this ad from my hubby.... UGH lol

:lmao: :lmao: I was thinking the same thing when I saw this thread! ! !

What kinds of problems were there last year with a similar deal?

What kinds of problems were there last year with a similar deal?

Low stock and many of those that placed orders waited for months to receive them if they ever did. My advice, if you're going for the washer&dryer deal, get there early and head straight to a register with ad in hand as they will go quick.

If you lived in NY, but were in FL for thanksgiving/BF...and wanted to try to get in on say a doorbuster washer/dryer from Sears. Would that be possible? Would you be able to place an order at the FL Sears and they could arrange a delivery date to your NY address???

Yes, that is possible. Again, the units usually pull from the closest main warehouse.

Yes you are right about the different Samsung sets. About your unwillingness to trust a retail store, you have options. You'll never know how many each store sells unless you are there to see every customer across the country walk out with one and witness each home delivery, There are no perfect retail stores or managers. You have choices including a different Sears location or another retailer. But if there was an unbiased poll of good or bad experiences, the flames would be buried by wood. Don't think you could say that about other retailers.

I thought I could make a difference giving SD members insight on deals and answers, but this flaming does not seem to be worth my time. I thought this was more a deal sharing forum than a flaming forum? I guess that's why not many inside people care to post anymore. Well, I'll give it another go for a while.

The reality is that Sears will have many, many of them. Unlike other stores that really only have 4/2/x. Should be safe within the first hour or so. They did not sell out of the Samsung pair in the Friends and Family VIP event. Nov 15th. The buyers did a good job this year.

im currently building my house and we're about 4 months until finishing but this washer and dryer deal is too good to pass up. I think ill have to order it and store it at a friends house.

How does the $999 front loader Kenmore W/D compare to the $998 Maytag set that Home Depot will have? I know the Kenmore washer has the steam setting and the Maytag doesn't. Since Sears carries the exact Maytag model in the HD ad will they price match + 10% of the difference? I would like to go to a front loader to save water since we are on a septic system.

Can you use your Sears card for a 10% discount during the BF sale? Kind of interested in the 32" Sony TV.

So the Kenmore pair of washer/dryer for $499.95 is for Thursday/Friday or Friday/Saturday? And 10% if you use your Sears card, yes?

While I appreciate the Sears Outlet scans, what is this mess with only listing the % off? I'm actually looking for a double drawer dishwasher but won't go out of my way without a price listed-50% off sounds good but 50% off WHAT? If you don't give me a price you won't get me in the door ;)


ETA-guess they won't get me in the store anyway, according to their site there is no Outlet store here :(

For those looking at the Samsung Refridgerator series RF267AE from either Best Buy or Sears during Black Friday...
Sears is selling the black and white version for $1299.99 right now and the steel one for $1599.99 with free shipping!!

Why fight the crowds when you can buy it now??

New TV time!

went and spoke to the appliance mgr today as we are buying a foreclosed home and have to buy all new appliances plus a washer/dryer. we had been looking at the Kenmoore Elite non-front loading pair that will be $849 or $999 with steam dryer and asked if we could get it today and price match it on Fri as long as we were there during the time frame for door busters. got shot down at first then realized we meant business on buying all appliances and then said it would be no problem. so on friday will just be there at 4am for the price adj.

also nice is that we picked delivery and while we don't have a true move in date said they would hold them all at the warehouse anyway and we wouldn't have to worry about storing them at a friends place.

also to earn bonus points with the mgr got the 3 year warranty on it all...but can we call customer service to cancel and have the cost refunded to the credit card? don't wanna have to go to the store again to remove it after getting the black friday pricing.

I have been looking at the Panny TC-P42S1 - this is the TV I want but I haven't seen it at any cheaper than this Sear's BF for $649.

I have never hit Sears on BF (and rarley go out for that matter) - not sure if it's worth it to even try to get this set that day. I'd kinda like to get the set sooner than later though and I dunno when I'll find a good deal on it again.

I also didn't know if I open a Sears card if I'd get the extra 10% off on it.

black06c230, nice you could get the deal early. I would think more stores would want the business and offer sales earlier.

is anyone planning to price match some of the appliance deals from sears at lowes store for the free installation and haulign of your old stuff?

Here's a story about front loading washing machines.
Consumer Reports subscribers from across the country have complained about smelly front-loaders. In fact, the editors have received so many complaints, they now warn about the problem when they review washers.

is that guitar hero complete band for 50???!!! for wii?>?

is that guitar hero complete band for 50???!!! for wii?>?

No, its the "Complete Guitar Game" as opposed to the game only (just a disk). The boxes pictured are too thin for it to be the complete band kit, and they use the similar terminology for the guitar-only setup.

is anyone planning to price match some of the appliance deals from sears at lowes store for the free installation and haulign of your old stuff?

Great question. I did...last night! Luckily for me, I stumbled into an awesome deal at Lowes on Tuesday (11/25) that is running all week. So, instead of waiting outside Sears for a possible chance at a washer and dryer that they may or may not have, I’ll be taking delivery on my Maytag 3000 set that I got at Lowes for $900 with FREE delivery. Just tell Lowes to match the Home Depot price and take off 10% for their low price guarantee. The Lowes sales people will be happy to help you.

And, here's my Sears Black Friday Experience. Good luck everyone!

If you are thinking about going to the Sears Door Buster sale on Friday. Be careful. I did this last year and never received the washer and dryer set that was advertised. I started waiting at 2 a.m. last year and I was the first in line. They opened the doors 15 minutes early. A salesperson took me straight to a computer to ring up the sale. I remember standing there at 3:47 a.m. as he tried to ring up my order. “Quantity Available = 0”. I left the store with a paper raincheck, but got called back later that morning. They were taking orders. I bought the washer and dryer that morning. Four months later, I still hadn’t received the appliances, and I cancelled my order.
I saw the Black Friday ad this year and went back to the store to ask them if they really had the appliances this year. I showed my receipts from last year and explained my disappointment. Their response, “see you Friday morning … make sure and get here extra early because we expect a hundred or so people to be waiting in line”. But, to rub salt in the wound, they told me how “last week”, they were selling the top of the line Samsung series set for $1080 in an un-advertised sale. But, they were sorry they couldn’t extend that price to me.

I searched, but have not seen much discussion on the Dishwasher deal (Kenmore Elite for 40% off). Did I miss the discussion? Any thoughts? I thought I might try it.

I just called Sears and they said they don't have leather jackets, even thought their BF ad says they sell it for $59.99!

I searched, but have not seen much discussion on the Dishwasher deal (Kenmore Elite for 40% off). Did I miss the discussion? Any thoughts? I thought I might try it.

I'm surprised more people aren't jumping on this deal as well, because I know I am!

I called Sears customer service, and they said the black Friday deal will go online at 4a.m. Friday morning. I'm buying online and having it shipped to my local store, so I can use the $5 off $50 coupon AND the 13% bing cashback. The customer service agent said I will still get free installation if I buy online, so there are no problems there.
This is an absolutely rocking deal (IMO), and I'm shocked more people aren't going nuts over it. It seems that most people are in the market for a washer/dryer and not a dishwasher.

Online deals are alive now.
13% bing CB
coupon codes $7 off $70 777 may still work, $25 off $300 ANEXTJUMP25300 . working in major appliances.
Remember use of coupon codes may invalidate Bing CB.

I cannot find that pair of Kenmore's for 579. No matter what I do.

I don't normally shop online anymore and will have to go search Bing lol.

Sears rep told me yesterday that your purchase had to be $699 or higher to get the 10% discount with a Sears card as per the ad. HTH
