I was browsing the Best Buy Black Friday Ad Specials. Did you know that you’ll be able to get the same deals online at BestBuy.com and not have to endure the crowds and lines so early in the morning?!
Below are some of the front page deals advertised. Some prices are already available online at the sale price. Others are have similar (or better deals) available at other stores.
Dynex 32″ Class / 720p / 60Hz / LCD HDTV is already $299.99 online (regularly $379.99)
Alternative Deal: Viore 32″Class 720p 60Hz LCD HDTV (shown right) only $298 and 97¢ shipping from Walmart.
Garmin nuvi 205 4.3″ Portable GPS will be $99.99.
Alternative Deal: Magellan RoadMate 1400 4.3-Inch GPS Navigator only $82.29 w/Free Shipping from Amazon
Insignia Blue Digital Camera will be $49.99.
Alternative Deal: VistaQuest VQ-5115 Blue Digital Camera only $45.88 and 97¢ shipping from Walmart.
Samsung 46″ Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LED-LCD HDTV will be $1599.99
Alternative Deal: Toshiba 46″ Class 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV only $898 and 97¢ shipping from Walmart.
I looked through the whole Best Buy ad and found almost everything (albeit similar) at Walmart.com for less when I compared deals! And with 97¢ shipping to your home, you can’t go wrong! I would definitely not go fight the crowds, stand in line and then try to haul a big HDTV home when I could get it online and delivered for less!

My son moved to Omaha today to work for the summer before moving to Lincoln in the fall to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is going to stay with his grandma who lives in Omaha. He’s only been gone an hour, and the thought of him being gone makes me miss him already. I think it’s the whole “my son is now an adult” syndrome kicking in.
We decided that he would use some of his graduation money to invest in a new laptop for college. Of course, I did my research for the best bang for the buck, and came up with the Toshiba – Satellite Laptop with Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T3400 for only $399.99 from Best Buy…
I browsed several techie forums, as those contributors not only know more about computer specs than me, but they also know a good deal when they find it! This laptop features everything that my son will need and more….
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core processor T3400
667MHz frontside bus, 1MB L2 cache and 2.16GHz processor speed.
2GB PC6400 DDR2 SDRAM expandable to 4GB
Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW drive with double-layer support
15.4″ WXGA TFT-LCD widescreen display
250GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 rpm)
Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M
128MB – 1342MB dynamically allocated shared memory.
Built-in stereo speakers.
4-in-1 bridge media adapter
3 high-speed USB 2.0 ports
Built-in Atheros high-speed wireless LAN (802.11b/g)
Built-in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN with RJ-45 connector
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic Edition operating system
Toshiba DVD Player and Disc Creator Software Included
Microsoft Office Professional is only a 60-day trial version, but when we toured the UNL campus, our tour guide said that students are able to buy Microsoft Software at a deep, deep discount at the campus bookstore.
We ordered the Toshiba Satellite Laptop online last night from BestBuy.com. We chose the instore pick up option, as there is a Best Buy in Omaha that he can pick it up from today. That not only saved shipping costs ($24.99 standard cost), but shipping time as well!
Good luck Taylor, I love you!
