Last year on the before Christmas sales at Sams, my DH saw his dream. a 52 in HDTV for a WONDERUL price. We didn't have the money right then because of Christmas so we waited for the first paycheck after Christmas. We didn't know it was a special Christmas sale. We thought that a Sams price was a Sams price. So we waited and finally got a floor model at Circuit City for hundreds off its price.
