Last week I asked the question of whether or not anyone has found any big bargains out in the stores. I hadn’t found anything worth buying until late last week when I came across a ridiculously marked down 47″ Vizio LCD full HDTV at Wal-Mart. After being dropped a few hundred dollars there was no question about it and I had to get that television.
Aside from the television and an extended warranty plan I also picked up the items needed to mount the TV to the wall, a new DS game (which is interesting because I really don’t have time to play the thing these days), a bunch of new books from Barnes & Noble (thanks to a gift card from my older brother), a new luxury sheet set, new pillows for my bed, a new carry-on piece of luggage and travel kit, and some minor pieces of clothing. For what it’s worth, all of my cost cutting and budgeting over the last few years allowed me to purchase these items with no concern about long-term financial burden.
So…over the past few days I’ve done my part to help kick the economy in the ass!

How do you like the TV? I’ve been looking to purchase a new LCD and Vizio’s have really caught my eye.
Honestly, Greg, I’ve always been a Panasonic guy so buying a Vizio was a little weird for me. Last year my younger brother bought an LCD HDTV from Vizio and he loves it. Then my roommate bought a really nice Vizio and he loves it. So I kept going to Wal-Mart and checking out the latest models and I was going to buy a 42″ model, but the 47″ was only $50 more on sale and for a limited time only in this store.
I’ve been very impressed with the Vizio since I purchased it. The on-screen controls are very simple and intuitive and the picture quality is great. This is a really good piece of machinery.
