I remember there being a page where each product was ranked by black friday deal. If you wanted a hard drive, you could find the best deal easily.

Unless I'm missing something, the blackfriday.slickdeals.net page is just full of worthless articles.

Agreed.
Also I used to be able to come here and see what the top voted black friday deals were. Also, all the ad scans were up (and in previous years even clickable) This year Im having hard time even finding the Walmart black friday scan and bf is a couple days away.

I always found it easy on SD to get a lay of the deal landscape. This year I don't have a good view.

Yea same. I don't have a clue what their traffic numbers are nowadays but I'm wondering if the site runners just didnt think it was worth it to put in the extra effort for Black Friday this year.... if so that's sad. BF was an entire event on this site.

I think that has to do more with how stores are presenting their deals. I've had a hard time finding an ad scan or some kind of good visual representation of sales from a quite a bit of stores. Some got rid of physical ads in 2020, but they did have digital scans of what would have been the physical ad. But this year, they seem to just post a webpage with their deals, and even then it's not very well organized. Walmart is particularly bad this year. They didn't clearly reveal how they were doing sales, this month (at least as well as they have in the past couple of years). There were no actual ads and the webpage that listed the deals was very poorly organized and difficult to look at. One website had "scans", but it was just screenshots put together and not very well organized, and I don't think they even had all the deals.

I'm pretty sure the blackfriday.slickdeals.net page is entirely written by AI. It has zero useful information other than "check these store's black friday ads" for more information.

No more bf circulars? Those are what put bf on the map
If that's the case SDers are falling behind this year on the deal landscape.
we used to know everything before anyone else did about bf deals.

Edit - even despite the deals are not that great it's still good to know what they are

If someone is still waiting to find out the BF deals they're not only falling behind, they may have missed out. Black Friday is mostly a thing of the past, now. Ever since the pandemic caused stores like Walmart to spread their deals throughout the month, BF has faded away. Only being used as a sales term to get people's attention. Walmart had part of their deals at the first of the month. The rest start today. Most other stores have had their BF deals running all week with nothing special planned for Friday itself. Not having print ads saves the companies lots of money. They were a thing from the newspaper days (which is practically going away). There are stores that post a digital circular online. Most of them have been posted at some place or another. There seem to be a few I haven't been able to find, but they've already been running deals all week that are similar to what other stores are doing, so I'm guessing they didn't even plan an actual "circular". This has gradually become a thing over the past few years. I was already not expecting BF circulars, but was anticipating more sales/events throughout the month. Although Walmart, as in the past few years, only ran the one event at the beginning of the month and one for the latter part of this week instead of every week. Unfortunately, I think the overuse of "Black Friday" in marketing -- even being used throughout the year -- has made people unaware that the "Black Friday" marketing in November is the actual BF sales and not just a gimmick.

Given Black Friday "doorbuster" type prices are already happening - we should have a better system for surfacing them.

Hope someone does/shares the spreadsheet this year.
