Stay home, go to the beach, go for a hike. Life is more than buying stuff.

bah... Where are the deals for decent 1080p mid sized (32"-37") LCD TVs? a 42" is a bit much in price and size for a bedroom or office... I remember a few years ago microcenter was selling 32" 720p LCD TVs for $350. Have seen a deal like that since. I would expect 1080p at 32" to have been able to drop to that price range by now...

@knyghtryda: I bought a Westinghouse 32" 720p LCD for $500. It's not the greatest in the world, some dark blacks look slightly green, but it's pretty good for my bedroom.

Screw Black Friday. I already got my sale this past weekend on a 50" plasma Panny over at CC (36mo, 0%, nice!).

Wait... Prof. Dealzmodo... first time black friday shopper here and I have a question. Walmart is open 24 hours, but the sales start at 5am. Do I sleep in Walmart? How does it work?

@Shub-Niggurath: Haha, but seriously do I go at 3am and ask where they're going to put the TV that I want and just stand in that spot?

Dumb question but this is my first self-bought TV! :P

@Shub-Niggurath: Typically even Walmart closes for Christmas Eve/Day (for a few hours anyway) and Thanksgiving evening. Might want to just call the store you plan on haunting, and ask.

Dear Giz,

Please provide me with explicit instructions to hide a Samsung 46" Class 1080P LCD HDTV inside a refrigerator while in Best Buy.

Thank you, kindly.

@lankysob: Get a chainsaw out, cut the fridge in half, and put the two halves back together. Two halves make a whole. You can then hide the tv in that hole you just created.

@ceilingFANBOY: But Best Buy doesn't sell chain saws (at least the ones I go to). Their eagle-eyed employees would surely never let me in the door with one. Perhaps I could saw the fridge in half with an electric razor instead. Hmm. Which to use?

Sharp 42" 1080p LCD HDTV for $780 from Dell: looks like it could be the best TV deal on the list

I usually hit the Black Friday sales but this year I will be working so the American economy will have to carry on without my contribution of consumer dollars.

@Curves: You could always send me some cash and I could spend it for you. That way it's win-win for everyone.

@Curves: I tell you what. We'll do it like my family does Christmas. You send me your money and your Christmas list, and I won't buy you anything on it. If you're lucky you'll get a gift card back worth half the amount you gave me... and maybe a hug, but you'll have to use the gift card to get the hug. ;c)
