Two different years, we went out to get " special purchase offers" as advertised at a local big box store. Both times we got products that were basically half of a product. Both times we had to buy additional more expensive products to make the first one to work. (DVD player at a great price had to have an RF modulator to work, and for the TV, we had to buy speakers to hear it!) No thank you, and besides, the Black Friday prices are good until Christmas, why bother? In this greedy economy, there are no REAL 'good deals'.
