Bargains to be had in the recession
Plasma screen TV’s are getting cheaper every day. With such a concoction of media chatter about how the world is bankrupt people have begun to believe it, and no one is buying anything. The money just sits in banks. As a reaction retailers are seriously dropping prices on flat screen TV’s, so if you were thinking about getting one there’s never going to be a better time.
For as little as £350 you can get your hands on a 37 inch flat screen, and that’s not the end of it. If you are in the mood to splash out remember the important detail of getting a Plasma TV stand , there’s no point in spending all that money on a nice TV and then having it rest pathetically against your wall. If you’ve got a wall to hang it on, a TV bracket would be ideal, but if you don’t just go with a standard TV stand and have it in your living room. Or your bedroom, your kitchen, or your bathroom. They’re so cheap you could get one for each room of your house!
Asides from buying yourself a nice new TV in these difficult economic times there’s plenty of other things you can get on the cheap. Netbooks have become very affordable, you can get one for as little as £170 if you really shop around and electricals in general have hit rock bottom prices as manufacturers desperately try and shift their stock. It’s a shame you can’t eat electronics with food prices continuing to go up, and it doesn’t look like they’re going to stop any time soon…
Of course the irony of this mess is that mortgages are as cheap as they’ve ever been, but the deposit required on new purchases is so ridiculous that no one can get on the market. Catch 22 for the banks and the buyers. Keep renting, and buy a TV instead.
