Im honestly starting to freak out a little bit because Im trying to plan this massive renovation for my basement in early 2027 and I need to know if I should be setting aside $5,000 or like $8,000 for the tech part of it. I know it sounds crazy to look this far ahead but my logic was that if I could find even a hint of the 2026 flyers I could budget better. I found this one site claiming to have 'insider dates' for Best Buy and Walmart but then I read on a different forum that those are just placeholders based on 2024 data so now Im just lost.

I really need to know if the high-end 98 inch screens are gonna be part of the doorbusters or if they usually stay full price until the Super Bowl. I saw a post saying retailers are changing their whole strategy for 2026 to focus more on subscription bundles instead of hardware discounts which sounds like a nightmare for me. Im in Chicago and trying to avoid those massive delivery fees by doing a store pickup but I gotta know what to save for. Has anyone seen any actual leaked spreadsheets or even just like internal memos about the 2026 holiday roadmap? I feel like I'm hunting for ghosts and the anxiety of not knowing the price points is killing me...
