Prepare Yourself For Black Friday 2009

For me this black Friday is very important as surviving waves of economical recession is not an easy task. So I have decided to prepare list of things earlier which I have never done before. I like bargain sites very much, every time if I need to buy anything I prefer them. But on black Friday where everyone is running here and there how one can manage himself as a best shopper? So let’s go step by step:

• Create a holiday shopping list of things you would like to look for gifts for the holidays. If you know what you are shopping for it will make your life a heck of a lot easier.
• Find some online catalogues of famous stores during this time. Also refer some local retail ads too, so you can make your younger brother standing near that store.;)
• Sort out your list with prices and tag them which you will buy and from where (retail or online).
• Now everything is ready just do this GO GO SHOPPING…

Few regular bargain site I am used to are:

How to buy & choose cheap Mp3 Player?

Its all about choices and the MP3 player market is like a candy store filled with colors and varying configurations. Music on the go is not as simple as one thinks; there are aspects like size, color, capacity, features, compatibility, and most important costs to be considered. The market choices can be confusing.

• MP3 players are of two types flash based and hard drive based. The hard-drive type MP3 players are high end with 20GB-120GB space and can hold over 30,000 songs. The cost if a high capacity player would be around USD 200-250. Hard disk based MP3 players have moving parts and so are not conducive to being taken on a hike or run. Flash based MP3 players have no moving parts and have long battery life. These are ideal for active people and can be used for even skiing or bungee jumping.
• When exploring Mp3 players find out what features they have. Many synchronize with the personal calendar and address book on the computer. There are others that can be used for storing photographs. There are MP3 players that have an FM tuner and stop watch.
• Take a close look at MP3 players that have features like voice recording , a firewall cable, and features that allow you to listen to music on the car radio.
• Look at MP3 players that allow selection of music by various criteria like album, song title, or music genre.
• You need to know aspects like hours of play or number of songs you will need on the MP3 player. This will indicate what capacity the Mp3 player should have; for example a MP3 player of 128 MB capacity will store 60 songs and give four hours of play. The higher the storage of the player the higher the cost.
• Compare specifications between MP3 players like battery life and so on. Try and get value for money, an MP3 player of good quality within your budget
• Take a look at interface; understand the workings/menu system .
• Check whether the MP3 player supports files/formats like WMA, AAC, or Ogg Vorbis.
• In case you decide to buy a hard drive MP3 player you will require a custom fitted case to protect it.
• Explore the range of accessories you will need: headphones; docking stations; FM transmitters; Wi-Fi ; and Hi-Fi solutions. Look up popular accessories online that will enhance the use/performance of an MP3 player.

Before buying an MP3 player check out the range and prices online. Find out whether any website/manufacturer is offering a special discount. Apart from taking care of warranties and such check out what users have to say about MP3 players. Take a look at online and offline stores to find a great deal that offers value for money. Normally I love cheap deals from Cheapdeal101.com, it also offers best Mp3 player deals.

How to buy an hdtv at low cost?

High-definition television, HDTV, gives life-like pictures. First introduced in the US in the 1990s today HDTVs are extremely popular. The market is flooded with HDTVs of all makes and sizes. When you are thinking of buying a HDTV you must keep in mind:

1. HDTV is not scary. All you need to do is understand that there are four types, CRT, DLP, LCD, and LCoS. The internet has several resources that explain technology to non-techies, make use of the knowledge and learn to distinguish between various HDTV types.
2. HDTV is best viewed with DTV broadcasts. If you subscribe to cable that feed analogue transmission you will experience viewing problems.
3. Know that the picture quality at the store will be quite different from the one at home. So make the effort of visiting friends who have HDTV and check out what the reality is like.
4. Once you enter an HDTV showroom online or offline you may get carried away and spend more than you should have. So be prudent and set a budget and check online which HDTVs fall well within your budget. HDTVs can cost from less than USD 300 to over USD 3000. The screen size will range from 24 —around 103 inches
5. Choose a HDTV with a screen size suitable to your room. If the screen is too large or too small then viewing pleasure will be reduced. According to experts 30 inch HDTV are ideal for bedrooms/guest rooms. For a 30 inch HDTV ( measured diagonally) the minimum viewing distance is 3.8 feet and maximal 7.6 feet. So get expert advice on which size will be ideal for your family room.
6. If you are an electronics buff and have several gadgets like DVD players, camcorder and play stations then you need to look at aspects like compatibility. Make a list of existing electronics and what are the connectivity features. A HDTV buying checklist should include: power consumption, technology of TV, whether plasma or LCD, power saving features, whether compatible to HD cable, DVD players, HDTV tuners, Blu-ray, gaming consoles, computers and other HD sources.
7. Important to know about are what are tuner extras. This would include tuner surfing modes, favorite lists, audio clarity and stereo reception. Also if the HDTV responds to a universal remote then that’s perfect.
8. When choosing an HDTV think of the future. With technology on the roll one needs to buy a TV that is prepared for the future
9. Picture quality is a crucial aspect and for this one needs to go beyond expert advice and look closely at personal needs/set ups. On display in a showroom an HDTV picture quality is misleading. Ask whether the sales person will reduce brightness of lights and also whether he will run for you a Bluetooth CD belonging to you. This will be the true test of picture quality.
10. When buying an HDTV you must consider accessories. Among the must haves will be extra cables, a surge protector, a stand to support the set and accommodate the peripherals you may purchase with the HDTV to make it a home theater system.

Most important is warranties. Make sure these are valid and all paper work is in place. When buying online or offline ensure that you purchase the HDTV from authorized dealers. Many manufactures do not extend warranties if purchased from unauthorized sellers. If you buy an HDTV after great thought you will enjoy it.

Cheapdeal101.com is an unique way of getting best HDTV deals, I found this site lists most cheapest prices for all popular HDTVs. Also if you are regular buyer this site can be a good bargain hunter for you.
