Too many items from last year with similiar/changed prices make me have my doubts.
yeah, im just gona wait until BF gets closer

the problem i have with the ads up right now is that last night around 7-8pmEST bf2005.net had a link called "fake store (1)" then if you clicked it brought you to the Wal-Mart list. it later changed the name to just Wal-Mart. Either the 'fake store' link was a test just to see if things were working, or the ads are fake. either way nothing on there looks worthy of a purchase in my book.There were two stores, Fake Store and something else. They were just test runs to test the shopping cart.

Still waiting to see if that WM ad is real or not...does anyone have 'inside information' yet?

Anyone ever try to BVG a BF price?

Many itesm I do not recall from last year in WM's ad . The usual items (food chopper.etc) are ALWAYS there EVERY year so that does not mean fake . Some specific toys and items exclusive to 2005 are there so Im voting this a real ad ....

I could use some advice. I was shopping for a high-end item last year and missed out on some great BF deals because I wasn't looking. Well, I'm looking for another item this year, but I don't know how to go about specifically looking for a BF deal. Any advice would be appreciated.
TIA,
MC

DVD Release Date: November 22, 2005

So actually thats a legitimate title shown on the laptop.

Don't underestimate your local supermarket for BF deals.

Last year ShopRite in the Northeast not only had some decent deals, but they had a promotion going on as well. The same promotion is going on now in that for every $300 you spend, you receive a 10% off coupon which is stackable up to 50%, maximum discount is $500. Save up to 50% on your shopping order.

Last year they had a 5" portable DVD player for $88 and well... you can do the math.

I'm saving my 10% off certificates to see what they have on BF. I'm closing in on my second 10% certificate.

Great question, any answers????

I know you cant do this at BB.... T_T

Ex. purchased tv on BF for $700, go back in January w/o receipt (price is now back up to $1100) would they give me a merchandise credit of $1100? tehe!

...and people wonder why BF deals have been on the decline. I bet you're also somebody who abuses Costco's return policy and sees nothing wrong with it.

shivers20 said:So is that a yes? No? tehe My costco membership expired last year. They are a great store to buy from and work for. They always have great deals unlike Best gone buy buy. Okay enough of that let me stay on topic. BF baby!

Tell you what. I hate BestBuy so sure, go ahead and do that there. Circuit City, no, they won't let you. 'Cause I said so.
