Default It's really hard to say.

The best thing to do in electronics (for expensive items) is to shop around and find the best price. Then, go to the place that offer free financing (Brault & Martinau, The Brick...). Negotiate them to lower the price of the item you want to match the price of the competition, then, do the 0% financing thing.

If you did not planned to finance, do it anyway.

Put the money in a saving account of 2.75% (ING for example) for the time you finance your item. You will make money while you are financed at 0%.

Ok, this is small amount, but lets say you finance 2000$ for two year at 0% and on the other side, you get 2.75% revenue, it's like money saved on your item.

Default i've bought DVD & Bluetooth Head phone yeasterday,

got 7% off, not too good of the discount.
i expect more for the TV.
I've showed the guy the TV i want, he said, he will "take care" off me.
stand & Rogers HD box will be included in price...
that is better but not really good to make me buy right now...

he did say i will not get better deal on boxing day.

Default well, considering the stand is like 100-200$ and a hd box it about 200$, it's a nice deal

but compare to other stores around.
