It's a Samsung, and as soon as I Googled "Samsung warranty" I saw tons of negative posts about Samsungs, but I'm sure that's the case with other brands. While I don't like to see companies going out of business, I'm hoping I can get a great deal this season! I’ve had the TV for 3 years, so it’s no longer covered by warranty.

I saw a Lenovo Ideapad online the other day for $477 though... very tempting. @Laura: Wow. How long have you had it? Will it fall under a manufacturer's warranty? What brand? I think this year will be different for TVs. Retailers are really hurting -- see Circuit City's bankruptcy plans. @Kate: Excellent point. I won't go out and buy a new refrigerator just because its on sale. Granted, a TV and a laptop are wants not needs... but I don't buy just for the sake of a "good deal". @Seb: That’s what we’re doing.

I'm talking about little things like restocking my facial moisturizer, the tick repellent for my cat, and replacing a few broken kitchen tools. I may be able to save a few bucks with a little shopping around, but nothing too outrageous. Honestly, the sales don't affect me much, so they don't interest me. What I buy is driven by actual needs, not by what happens to be on sale. I'm just replacing the things we've used up, basically.

I've been debating between repairing it for a cost of 50% of a new one (and who knows if the problem won't happen again) or going out and buying new. I'm holding out for Black Friday and hoping to find something good. I've read that typically the holidays aren't where you'll find the best deals on a TV, but I'm hoping this year will be different.

With the way the economy is going, I have a feeling there are going to be some amazing deals to be had. I’m holding out for Black Friday.
