besides that new electronics store HHGregg seems to have great deals for the next few weeks, not just on black friday.

anyone ever gone to a HHGreeg? im going to try it out here in the next week or so.

I did a LOT of research and price-checking last Christmas when my wife and I decided to get a new LG flat screen as a gift to each other. HH Gregg killed Best Buy and every other store on price for the same TV. I spoke to an employee there and he said no one can beat their prices because of the way they buy, they're able to offer TVs below retail prices.

I'll probably get my wife's gift there this year too and when we remodel the kitchen, I'll probably look there for appliances. I love HH Gregg.


The only time I've ever left the house on Black Friday is when I was able to grab a gas grill from Lowe's for $80 a few years ago. Still using it...couldn't resist that deal. Even then, I went right to the grills and was in and out in 5 minutes. It was about 10 a.m.

Matty's right, the internet is the way to shop on Black Friday. Even other times, I might go to a store to check the product out in person (especially electronics) but then I'll actually purchase online.
