It's available on costco.com right now for $219, $70 off. You might check and see if the $130 show up online as well. Free shipping and might save a trip to the warehouse.

I doubt they will make a special sku for this item. It is not a door buster and not limited quantity or a least so it says. In fact on the "door busters" show limited quantities so I would think they should give you a rain check if they run out. Could be wrong

Don't forget, Walmart has a price guarantee they are very big on now. Buy it at Walmart next week and then price match it when it goes on sale. The item is not listed as a door buster so they should have no problem matching the price. You might take a copy of the ad and speak with the manager. If they know its going on sale they might let you have it now at that price.

I see Sears friends and family sale is out. It looks like at least on line they are not doing the Pre-Blackfriday sale they have done they past several years. Anyone else notice this, or am I missing something?

Not sure now, but they used to. A couple of years ago they had a hdmi cable I wanted at a good price. Bought it the week before and went back and they adjusted the price no problem. Now coupons might be a different story.

Yes they have. There is one in Euless at 121 and Glade road. I think there are others, but that is the one closest to me.

Usually. Sometimes they ask you to show them the store card. They match grocery stores around here, and almost everyone has a store card.

Actually they are. That is if the prices show on that link are really BF prices. I added a couple to my card to see and they came up that price. Nothing I wanted but was curious.

Prices will rise and drop based on the current price. Found that out the hard way. I went to buy a receiver earlier in the year and added it to my cart late one evening. Was tired and did not buy it then. Got up 8 hrs later and the price went up $400 lol. Need less to say I waited till it when on sale again somewhere else.

I have three cards and pay the balance in fully each month. I have a Mastercard, Discover, and Amex. Almost every store takes one of those. I do not have any store cards. I think the major cards are better as they can be used anywhere. If I were starting out with credit cards or had a hard time managing money, I would have the limit set low like $500 or $1000 so you can't overspend. Multiple cards will not hurt your credit, but a high balance sure will. More cards might actually help as it increases your available credit as long as they are not abused.

I don't see anything in the ad that's all that special. The tool box for example is the same price in there regular ad. That laser thermometer is $29 now or $24 after the 20% coupon in every add. The flashlights are $2.39. Is it worth fighting a crowd for a $ or two. I'd rather wait somewhere else.

Just fyi officemax has the camera for $120 but does not have the case. Newegg.com has it for $129. You can prob get a case for $10 or less so tells Samsclub they lost your business and buy it somewhere else. Looks like Sams had it for $124 which does not seem like much of a deal to me. Still listed for sale at $129.88 so I am not sure why they won't send it??

Yes especially if she was charged for it. That is a whole other matter. I would think if they charged her for it then they should be obligated to provide what she paid for or something of equal or greater value. I hope she at least got a refund.

Odd that Ace sells a Craftsman tote bag?? As far as rebates the times I have mailed them in from Ace they came much quicker than most. Two to three weeks on average.

I would also check out Newegg http://www.gottadeal.com/Shop/Neweggcom and check the prices on Tvs there. I bought my tv there a couple of years ago and got a better deal than most places had on black Friday. It was an open box but I got an $1800 tv for $1000. Most of their stuff is new but the really great stuff is in the open box section.

Excitement and great deals.

I was wondering when this thread would open up.

If anyone wants to read about it, http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20081126/BUSINESS/81126002

I can say this, many years ago when I worked for Kmart we had to load one in a convertible. Is guess if you can put one in that, it will fit in anything lol.

I may be a little late now, but Walmart's policy, is if it rings up wrong, you get $3 off your item, or if the item is less than $3.00 its free. Its not made as public as it used to be, but if you ask they will do it.

I have done it in the past and may this year also. There is nothing major I ever want, and I don't want to get up at 5am for 1 item that costs $7 lol. I plan on stopping by at 11pm Thursday after I get off work and seeing if what I want is on the floor yet. If so I'll hide it till I am on my way to work Friday. If not no big deal. Who waits in the cold anyway. Every Walmart I know of is open 24 hours. How could this possibly be seen as fraud?? You are buying an item at the price it is going to be offered at; you are just making sure you get one. Fraud would be hiding an item till it goes on "clearance" if you really want to define it. This is the same thing as buying the item a few days ahead of time and getting a price adjustment later.

It may have changed in ten years, but in 98 when I worked at Kmart there was a huge margin around 60% in video games them selves. The systems were almost a cost, but the profit was in selling games. The biggest discounts will be on appliances, tvs, cables, and accessories in general. Audio equipment and speakers also have good margins. The biggest tv discounts will be on big name brands like Sony and Mitsubishi and maybe Sharp as they all have MAPs (minimum advertised price) that restrict how much a retailer can charge. The can discount to employees, and "secret" sales an such though.

No actually it doesn't if you read real carefully lol. Thats what I thought when I drove by the one in my area. The sign actually had in real big letters everything $4.98, and in small letters "and up." Can't see that till you've actually stopped.

Ace has always seemed to have the fastest rebates around. Everytime I send in a rebate for them I get it back in three or four weeks. Thats a rebate I can deal with.

I wonder if you can combine coupons? The free side kickers requires a drink purchase as does the 30 cent beef and cheddar. I guess I'll try. The worse they can do is say no.
