There are quite few steps, if you follow, you will get great deals when you buy
electronic items in USA.
Daily Deals
Below are best deal sites in my opinion
http://www.deals2buy.com/
http://www.dealsofamerica.com/
These two sites are updated every 4 or 5 hrs. If you are planning to buy any
electronic product, watch the deals first. I used to watch these sites almost daily ( when i am about to buy any item). Most of my colleagues and friends got their cameras, laptops, memory cards, lcd tvs, bags,shoes and etc... items thru above these sites only.
Special Occasion deals
During special occasions, generally all stores and websites announces great price drops.
Esp during Thanksgiving holidays. Thanksgiving holiday sales are the biggest price drop of the item in that year.The day after Thanksgiving is called as BlackFriday. Black Friday has both Online and in store deals.
Online Thanksgiving or Blackfriday Deals
One week before thanksgiving, online deals starts. You can watch all deals in deals2buy or dealsofamerica itslef.On Thanksgivingday night (blackfriday early morning), all stores & sites announces surprise deals. So watch out entire night. One nightout could save hundreds of dollars.Best place to look at blackfriday deals

In store Thanksgiving or Blackfriday deals
99% of the stores in USA opens up early morning ( ~5am) to start their surprise sale or deal.
I have seen, lot of people, staying in front of CircuitCity, BestBuy store on entire night to catch the creamy deals.Generally, Laptops are the Hot-est items on In store Early morning deals.
The creamy deals are in limited quantity. So if you want to grab one, you should reach so early ( in my opinion at-lest you should be there by 2am). To grab a good deal on electronic items, check out circuitcity,bestbuy,compusa, frys and what ever the big chain stores you know.

GoogleCheckout
Google offers $10 discount for those who newly sign up.
Save $10 when you are new to online shopping...
PayPal cashback
On certain items, Paypal pay 20% cashback. Check the items paying options before you buy.
Mail-in-Rebates
Lot of stores and sites offer Mail-in-rebates. You should be careful while going for mail-in-rebate offers.Check out the seller's previous mail-in-rebate history from your friends.
Mostly mail-in-rebates takes 8 weeks.
In my experience, Circuitcity has paid out all mail in rebates in time.
Buy it in Online
Buying in online saves $$ compared to buying in online. Look for free shipping while online.
