When's the best time to buy a TV?
A 65-inch TV can cost $1,100 when it first hits the market, drop to $880 a few months later, and cost as little as $650 the following year, when stores are trying to clear out stock to make room for new models. Research shows that Black Friday is the time for the deepest discounts. But the second-best discounts often come two weeks before the Super Bowl, thanks to “Big Game” promotions. Prices then drop again in the spring when the first wave of models for the new year start arriving in stores and retailers want to clear out their older sets.
