Two years ago we had 2 old TV's die at the same time. Not that we watch much TV. Sears had a deal whereby you put the TV on their credit card (I had one but never use it) and you had 12 months same as cash 0% interest. We got a nice 42" LCD flatscreen for around $800 (big sale) that we paid off monthly with no interest. We kept our $ in the bank earning interest, used Other People's Money to buy the TV. Paid it off exactly 1 week before due and that is how I like to shop--well, actually I don't like to shop and it killed me to buy a TV that we rarely watch. Didn't know about the Bing deals, will check them out. Not buying much these days though. Great story. Two years ago we had 2 old TV’s die at the same time. Not that we watch much TV.
