Televisions, tablets, cameras...
Black Friday is a boon for this big box electronics store, especially when it comes to TVs. That's where Best Buy comes in.
Best Buy starts their door-busting madness at midnight on Friday. Best Buy starts handing out tickets for their deals two hours prior to opening. They believe this system insures that people who have gotten to the store first will get the products they came for. For more information on the ticketing system, check out their FAQs.
CONSIDER GOING TO BEST BUY AFTER THANKSGIVING FOR:
40-inch Toshiba 40E220U LCD TV $179.99, normally $380.

What you should know: Amazon is offering this doorbuster at the same price.
26-inch Insignia NS-26E340A13 LCD TV $99.99, normally $199.99.
What you should know: This television will likely to be on sale for less than $199.99 at other times.
Kindle Fire and Fire HD tablets. No discount but you receive a $30 gift card with purchase.
What you should know: This gift card strategy is being used for tablets at Walmart and Target too. The key is to find the best offer.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 7-inch. $179.99, normally $200.
What you should know: Similar sale price as other stores on this doorbuster but Best Buy is also including a $20 gift card.
Samsung Galaxy S III for Sprint $48 with a 2-year contract.

Samsung Galaxy SII for Boost Mobile $300.
What you should know: You save about $70 bucks with no contract to worry about.
Phillips Sonicare Essence, $37.99, normally $60.
What you should know: This solid toothbrush is well-reviewed, but lacks one sought after feature: a brushing timer.
BETTER DEALS ELSEWHERE
Toshiba 50L2200U LCD TV $399.99, normally $800.
The better deal: At Sears where it is $100 less.
Nabi 2 children's tablet $169.99, normally $200.
What you should know: This doorbuster is the only child's tablet we recommend buying. Walmart is selling it for $129 -- about $40 less.
Canon EOS Rebel T3 DSLR "HOT PRICE", normally $499.99 with lens kit
What you should know: This is an online deal. Since we can't confirm the price or the size of the memory card, we can tell you that you can buy the same camera and lens kit, a 4GB memory card and camera bag at Walmart for $449 starting at 5 a.m. Friday.
Canon PowerShot A2300 $79.99, normally $100
What you should know: Best Buy and Sears offer the camera for the same price. Best Buy's is bundled with a camera case and a memory card of unknown size, while Sears doesn't hold back, listing it as an 8 GB SanDisk SD card. Our vote is to go to Sears and get it as a doorbuster.
AVOID AT ANY PRICE
Visual Land 7" Prestige 7 Tablet. "Hot Price"
What you should know: The price on this online-onlly deal is not revealed but a bad performer regardless what you pay.
