Should You Go Shopping on Black Friday?
It's the day after Turkey Day, and you're hungover from a day of stuffing your face, laying on the couch, and, well, drinking too much. Is it worth it to haul your butt out of bed and go stand in line in the cold with a bunch of pushy folks just to save a few bucks on cool gadgets? If you don't do your homework, the answer is no. A lot of the same deals can be scored online, plus several internet-only dealers are also having big sales.
But if you know exactly what you want and where to go, you can beat even the best online deals by several hundred bucks on things like giant flatscreen TVs and car GPS units. One great place to start is with a list that Gizmodo painstakingly compiled of the very best prices anywhere. A 42-inch, 1080p HD LCD-TV for under a grand? That just might be worth waking up for.
