Not all televisions are on sale at any given time. There will always be some that are on sale and some that aren't.

Wow that was the worst F&F of the year! Only 5% off jacked up TV prices (TC-P50S1 Saturday price $999, Sunday price $1399!) and Sears card discounts cut to only 5% off or one year interest free financing. Any "after Christmas" sales planned?

Hello Sears person, are they going to have an additional 10% off Panasonic TVs over 46" like they did on 10/04/09 and past sales?

Family & Friends Events

SHC-StaceyW — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 22:07:17 GMT

I think it is time to take this off and put somthing else on it is now November and August sales rallly aren't very helpful.

Family & Friends Events

DealHunter — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:39:31 GMT

Past examples TC-P50S1 Saturday price $999, Sunday Price $1099 then minus VIP savings! Current example TC-P50S1 was $999 last week, this week $1049 minus 5% on line savings. Stop drinking the Sears Koolaid, the public is not fooled by these non-sale sales.

Janell W: Okay I do apologize but I did speak with a supervisor, and because the item on Best Buy is an online item only and its not available at the retail store we can not price match it.

JulieK — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:52:27 GMT

Here is a link with the onliine price match information.

If you have any questions, after checking out the link, Sears.com Customer Service should be able to help. The "click to chat" option is quick to use, and the representatvies are quite responsive:

If you want to do that price match, you have to be at the store during the event. I'm not entirely familiar with the process, if there is one, through sears.com. Maybe one of the moderators could get a dotcom rep to give you more information. Mainly I meant that the prices can't be used as fodder to price match elsewhere.

Family & Friends Events

DealHunter — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:24:44 GMT

Well I am about out of time, if I buy now online can I get a price match on 11/15 if the F&F price is lower? I have the TV in my Sears cart right now for $1014.99 delivered, but see that BB has the same TV on sale today for $787.99 with Free delivery. I can get Bing cash back from both sites, so can I just order at Sears online and call for an instant price match plus adjustment of $249.70? Both stores offer 18 month no interest for putting it on their card.

BlueCrewGuyInMA — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:43:26 GMT

What do you mean, "jack up the price?" This is a common claim, but in almost every case, it's merely a misunderstanding. Many people, for reasons I cannot begin to understand, think the F&F sale prices are discounts additional to the sale prices during that day, and then the additional percentage (if any applies) gets applied to the purchase. The sale prices are reduced from the regular price, just like any other sale. The VIP discount for that night is applied to the sale price that is active that night. It seems pretty simple.

Family & Friends Events

DealHunter — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:04:10 GMT

Will there be an additional 10% off Panasonic TVs again?

What are the deferred interest options going to be?

Nov15th is the next promotion day per flyer in store

Family & Friends Events

DealHunter — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:00:51 GMT

Yes but, the Sears website seems to always be slow in updating prices. For example the TVs still say "Add to cart to see our price thru 10/31/09" and when I do the price is $50 more than on Saturday. What is Sears price match policy during F&F events? Can I price match an item to a different store and still get the VIP savings?

Family & Friends Events

AdamO — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:49:26 GMT

The Sears store prices are supposed to be the SAME price on the day and hour of purchase.

Family & Friends Events

DealHunter — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:29:27 GMT

I noticed that Sears tends to jack up the price on electronics and appliances during a F&F sale so the % off ends up being much less than advertized. The last time the TV I wanted was actually MORE during F&F. What is Sears price match policy during F&F events? Can I price match an item to a different store and still get the VIP savings?

You can also send customer service an email on the Sears.com site, and let them know you would like to receive notice on these kinds of offers. Here is a link:

AdamO — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:51:52 GMT

I believe the eMail mailing lists are "updated" about every two-weeks.

To make sure you'll most likely recieve a VIP night list, with ALL of the deals, you should re-register at your nearest Sears store.

will we receive and email about this event.

Maybe I will finally get an advertized deal on a Panasonic TC-P50S1. Anyone know if they are offering an additional % off Panasonic TVs again? Last time my local Sears did not know how to stack the discounts so I left empty handed. I am in no hurry as I just want a 50" 1080p plasma to watch the last season on LOST on and that does not start until 2010.

F&F is November 15. Good to see dotcom isn't getting another all day headstart on the stores this time. If the customers remain loyal to local stores they will not have more family and friends out of work. And really, what's more fun, digging up bargains in person or by pushing buttons. This is one sale where Sears really misses the mark. How can Family & Friends be an online event? Wouldn't that be the Total Strangers and Web Surfers Sale?

DealHunter — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:33:56 GMT
