I have the LG W/D (gas on the dryer) which are great. They clean clothes, towels, pillows, you name it very well, use very little water and I thought were a good price. I negotiated $450 off the set, 25% off all the accessories ( hoses, mounting kit, etc) and picked them up for less than the Sears scratch and ding.

I bought the model that is one down from the top of the line with steam. I really don’t see the need for steam or reason to pay extra for it.

Make sure you buy a washer with a stainless steel drum to last longer

Josh, some of the items are definitely comfort food, but I certainly don’t think comfort food means the place cannot be classy and upscale while also being casual. I think the foodie term might be New American. That said, I definitely think its fine to bring a 16 month old. Heck, you can bring your baby anywhere as long as they are well behaved. Some of the more traditional “fine” dining establishments are not really my speed and also not that kid friendly.

My other suggestions are Modus Supper Club or Avenue 5 both of which have great food.

I also like Bandar, the food is great, but the service is not, therefore I wouldn’t recommend it for an anniversary dinner nor with a child.

I am with FLU, don’t buy large electronic items from the internet, returning it is a pain. Also you need to look at apples to apples comparison and evaluate if you’re getting the same thing. Say you’re looking at a 42″ LCD made by the same manufacturer, from the same year, and look to be the exact same model except different retailers have different model numbers, and you’re comparing solely on price. This is sometimes due to an extra item thrown into the packages ( IE a HDMI cable included in the box with the one at Costco), or it could also be due to differences in quality. Cheaper components or TVs with the same components but that batch passed the quality tests at a lower number.

Why do you think Best Buy vs Walmart versus XYZ Online only guy pay different prices to the manufacturer for what you think is the exact same TV? Some of it is in buying power and volume, but some of it is also different quality levels. You do get what you pay for.

Best Buy will negotiate, but if you’re looking to buy a lower end TV, you don’t have as much bargaining power. If you are looking to buy one of their newest 52″ TVs, then you can get them very close to what an Amazon charges, but they usually cannot beat them. If you need other items as well including accessories such as TV mounts, then you can start pushing them towards a price slightly above cost. The accessories are where there is often 300% margin, TVs have a lot less margin.

That said, I went to Best Buy over Costco because Costco simply didn’t carry the models I wanted. They tend to carry the lower end model in the same series of TVs ( IE Samsumg 5 series versus 7)

Also, don’t buy HDMI cables at a big name retailer, order them from http://www.monoprice.com where you can buy a $7 or $11 HDMI gold tipped cable ( versus $50).
