I am soooooooo excited over a hidden bargain that we got today at Circuit City!!!!!
Oh my gosh, did I have a great BF! The best deal of the day was our last stop at Circuit City (after already having been there at 5:00am to buy a camera for DD). DH and I had been hemming and hawing about getting a plasma TV. After researching the ones that would be on sale for BF (taking into account the quality of the TV), we had decided that IF we were going to get one, we'd get the 50" Panasonic plasma at Circuit City for $1999.99.
We still weren't sure, so we decided to go to Circuit City and check them all out in person. The cheapest we had seen this TV go for was $2499.00, so we thought the $1999 price was a good deal!
There was also an unadvertised 50" Samsung for $1799. We had our Nov. '06 Consumer Reports magazine with us which said the Samsung was also one of the top pics for our price range, so we were going to get that one instead. Well, someone had just bought the last one, but the salesman said we could buy the Panasonic 50" plasma for $1399 after a $200 mail-in rebate AND that price included a wall mount and free installation! He said someone screwed up the prices on the computer system and that someone was going to lose his/her job over this pricing error. So, we bought the Panasonic 50" which is what we had originally wanted, but saved $700 over the BF price AND got the wall mount and free installation!
If you are in the market for a plasma TV, you won't find a 50" at this price with this quality anywhere! The sale on the TV is for today and tomorrow, so you can still get this price!!! Here's the link to the TV showing the $1999 sale price.
