| | 📺️ Score a Deal on a Huge TV Before Super Bowl Sunday | Super Bowl LVIII between the Chiefs and the 49ers is set for Sunday, Feb. 11. | Whether or not you watch the big game, it’s a great time to shop for a TV. | “Every year at this time there are always ridiculous deals on the discounted TVs they try to clear out to make room for the new TVs,” Clark says. | Clark recently noticed 85-inch TCL TVs on the Sam’s Club warehouse floor for $799. Some locations even give you a $100 gift card, reducing the number to $699. | Many people don’t have the space for an 85-inch TV – including Clark. But 75-inch TVs are on sale for as low as $499 according to Clark. He says you can find a great 75-inch, 4k TV at $649 or $699 “without even trying hard.” | For whatever reason, 65-inch TVs aren’t as good of a deal right now, he says. | As for what type of TV you should buy, Clark is only concerned about the size of the screen and the price. | “I will always accept lower quality for a lower price,” Clark says. “I mean, just look at how I dress.” | | 📊 Stat of the Day | 📺️ $2.75 billion: The amount of money that Peacock lost in 2023. Owned by NBCUniversal, the streaming company ended 2023 with 31 million paid subscribers while “narrowing” its three-month losses to just $825 million.
