    I could actually really use a new TV but I’m barely affording groceries. I want black Friday sales on cans of soup and frozen chicken, AND TVs.

      Have you checked second hand shops for a TV? Sometimes there are good deals. Mostly crap of course.

        What do you mean? Get a plasma or an early high end incandescent lit LCD. You can get 1080p ones for FREE, and they will do anything better, than a 165 inch 17k edgelit hypersmart disaster for six easy payments of only 169.99

          Well in my neck of the woods the second hand TV’s are usually busted because no one checks them before putting them on the shelf. There are good finds to be sure. Though I personally wouldn’t want a plasma TV again (power draw) I think they can be a good deal.
