amberjobryant Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Just went by Sears and they already have big bins and set ups for alot of the doorbusters - went to check out some of the iffy items I was unsure about in the ad Btw, the down comforters felt and looked really nicethis is the problem I have had with them in the past, come BF morning they will not have any stock left because they have it on the floor now, I stood in line there one year and was like 6th and could not get 90% of what I wanted because they where already out because it had been on the sales floor all month, total waist of time.

Tallgntlmn Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Anyone think the TV's will be a better deal at BB? I need to get one for DS and I think these are good prices. We have been looking for a bigger one ourselves too.Not sure about BF, but there have been better deals on at least 2 sets on this ad so far this year. I have been looking at the Sony KDL-46V5100 and Samsung LN46B650 since April with plans for BF. Here is what I've found: The Sony KDL46V5100 is priced at $1239 for Sears BF. It was $1199 on October 10th at BB. It is only $100 off the average price throwing out the high and low. It's been $1299 most of the year at BB, Fry's, CC and Sears. And it is $1299 right now at Sears. The Samsung LN46B650 is posted at $1309 on BF. The low of the year was $998 at BrandsMart on August 27th. The high is the MSRP of $1999 a couple times during the year....including the first week of the NFL season. The current price is $1449 at all the stores I track. So for me, these two need to be lower than the best price in the middle of August and October for me to make a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwalker Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 just a word to the wise: the PDFs are usually always still there, even if the link to them isn't.... just change the filename in the URL to the store that was "taken down" and they are probably going to be there unless the lawyers are really smart Oh. Thanks for the tip, got it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lot-narth Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 this is the problem I have had with them in the past, come BF morning they will not have any stock left because they have it on the floor now, I stood in line there one year and was like 6th and could not get 90% of what I wanted because they where already out because it had been on the sales floor all month, total waist of time.If you go on Friends and Family (a sunday about two weeks before BF), most the deals are on then and you can get it ahead of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snwbunny122 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I actually got Lowes to price match at front loader washer/dryer set that Sears had advertised in a BF ad 3 days before the sale. So I didn't even have to go to Lowes on BF and got the deal early, had to wait a month to get them in the stores (we ordered 2 sets, one for us and one for MIL) but that was fine with me. Didn't have to wait on BF to order them!! Always a plus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissy72 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 DramaQueenLucy, I purchased the Kenmore Elite last year. I read all the reviews but decided to take a chance. The washer and dryer run fantastic. I have not had any issues at all and it has cut my laundry time in half. I was careful to do the following:- put hockey pucks under the legs on each side. It help absorb vibration. My laundry is on the second florr of my house, no vibrations and it is quiet.- after washing a keep the door ajar just a little to prevent any musty smells that front loads often get. I have not hade a problem. Good luckI love love love my Kenmore Elite front loader washer and dryer. Haven't had one problem in the 2 years I have owned them. One of the best purchases I have ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenofshopping Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Wow, this is actually the first year I looked at their ad and thought 'I will definitely be going to Sears!'

Tigger97498 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 For anyone wanting the Samsung C10 and not wanting to deal with the black friday line or if you just need it before black friday for the holidays. Amazon has it onsale right now for $179 in the blue ONLY. I went ahead and ordered one last night because I wanted it for my birthday and Thanksgiving. This is a pretty good deal and yes Sears will have it SLIGHTLY cheaper but from my experience with Sears and BF they are usually sold out of a lot of the doorbusters (especially electronics) before the sale starts so with how little the difference is in the prices this may be worth checking out if you are wanting that camcorder.

Lawdog Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Here is the Price Match Policy for Sears. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/nb_10153_12605_NB_CSpricematchGood info, but beware. Last year, I grabbed a Sony Blu-ray ahead of time because I planned to be other places early on BF and figured the player was going to sell out fast. Anyway, I had the BF ad with me and explicitly asked the salesman if I could come back on BF and price-adjust. He said no problem. Well, it was a huge problem and the electronics manager nixed it when I went in, saying the policy printed on Sears.com was for their website, which she said was a different entity. I quietly walked across the store and found a salesman in the tool section that I knew and he did it. Bottom line, beware and proceed cautiously. I was pretty hot the way it went down.

dirtmcgirt79 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Another beware for anyone interested in price matching the Samsung washer/dryer pair at Lowes.. I posted this in the Washer/dryer discussion.. It seems like Samsung and Lowes and Sears are all covering their butts this year. Lowes carries the DV209AEW and WF209ANW. Sears carries the DV219AEW and WF219ANW. These are exactly the same, but legally they can say that they are different models so they don't have to price match. If you go to Samsung's website and try to do a comparison on these two models, it won't let you ad both of them to the comparison cart, because it says it's already in the cart. Though it's a different model number. I'm sure that Lowes will end up price matching them again, but you might want to verify that they will BEFORE black friday just to be sure..

barbiemich Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 So if I am reading their policy correctly, I could purchase the Washer/dryer today and go back on BF and get the price adjusment. It looks like they have a 30 day window for price adjustment. THat seems easier than purchaseing on BF either there or trying to price match at Lowes. Right!?

I was eyeing up the french door refrigerator they have for 50% off on BF, reg. priced around $1,500, will be $750. Yesterday our fridge went out and the repair guy said it will be costly to fix it. I was hoping to buy it now and price adjust on BF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son didn't care as long as it was blue, but the Sony has many more features. I found it on Dell for 245 which is slightly less than Walmarrt, but I have a Dell coupon code for 15.00. and I'm going to see if it goes on sale then apply my coupon code, with free shipping also.

yellowjeepster Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I talked to 2 different Sears locations today and they said that they received an email and they are NOT suppose to price adjust on BF. I am wondering if this is in print anywhere for the public? I wonder if we can print their policy and show them on BF that it says w/in 30 days of purchase they are suppose to refund the difference. If it's not posted anywhere that they won't then do they have to honor our request for the adjustment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you I never expect outrageous sales, but the prices on things I might be needing are pretty good.It happened to me this way last year - actually, I was looking at 'protection system' jackets for kids. Last year they were top name brand, top quality winter coats with a jacket that zipped out. Needless to say, I picked up one for each of my kids at 12.99 vs. the regular prices of 50.00+. I see them have them listed for 12.99 again this year. When I went to Sears last year, it was a good 2+ hours after they opened for BF and they still had a decent selection.

yellowjeepster Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Can someone please help me confirm if Sears is giving another 10% off on appliances if you use your Sears credit card on BF. I thought I read that somewhere but now I can't find it. I have found:During door buster hrs. save 25% on all Kenmore Elite appliances.Reg. hrs. save 20% on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite appliances.Save 15% on non Kenmore appliances. I also read that during the F&F sale save an extra 10% off VIP but need to know about BF w/the Sears credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
