Black Friday Deals & Tips

UPDATE 3:45PM: Home Depot – 20% off, kinda. You spend $50, you get $10 back instantly. Pretty good deal.
I bought the Dynex 32″ LCD HDTV from Best Buy for $449. Not sure if I’ll keep it yet, though. I went at 11am or so and they had plenty of stuff. The best deal I saw was a 50″ Samsung Plasma for $1299.

Best Buy seems to be the best retail place for electronics on Black Friday – and for only one reason: no mail in rebates. I hate those things and so does Best Buy. They decided to get rid of them altogether, from what I’m told.
Here’s a Black Friday tip: take advantage of price guarantees. Some stores offer 110% guarantees (Circuit City, for instance). So, just take that ad for the $399 Element LCD HDTV at Best Buy (because you know they’ll be sold out) to a competitor that will match the price – and you’re all set.
But, you can avoid all of that hassle altogether and just shop online. My favorite sites for online shopping: Amazon.com (Black Friday Specials here), Overstock.com, and dealsea.com for getting pointed in the right direction.
Happy Shopping and Happy Thanksgiving!
