Early Black Friday sales are popping up all over, and Walmart is holding a one-day in-store sale tomorrow, Saturday November 7, starting at 8 AM. Quantities are limited, and you can’t buy more than two of some items, but here are some of the items that might get your attention. The 46″ 1080p plasma HDTV TC-P46U1 from Panasonic will sell for $788. The Sharp 42″ LC42SB45UT 1080p LCD HDTV will be priced at $498. You can get a Sony Blu-ray player for $149, or a Magnavox 1080p upconverting DVD player for $29.

These are impressive prices, and it’s a bit early in the season to see doorbusters like this. I don’t see how retailers are going to be able to match these prices, let alone beat them. So keep an eye out for special sales like this, and if you can find what you want at the price you want to pay, my advice is to go ahead and buy it. You might be able to save a little more if you wait, but you also might miss out entirely if the items sell out.
