What purposes do you use Best Buy/Big Box electronic stores? Do you try items before you buy them in-person or online? Do you shop in-store for products? Are you a purely online shopper? I make an effort to patronize small companies, but when it comes to electronics, I frequently buy reconditioned computers and other items from the Best Buy outlet since my experiences there have been positive. I used to regularly order from Tiger Direct, but unfortunately, it is no longer open for business.

There are a few things. I’ll check dekudeals occasionally and Best Buy might be the one with a Switch game I want, on sale, in physical.

I buy large appliances there. Bought a fridge, dishwasher, and OTR Microwave a few months ago, and a washer and dryer a couple weeks ago. Honesty the only reason I went there was because they had the best financing offers. 24 months no interest, in this economy, is hard to pass up when they are selling at the same price as everyone else.

I’ve bought USB SSD drives and a 7200 RPM there recently. I checked PCPartPicker and they were the second cheapest by a slim margin. MicroCenter was #1 but that’s like a 90 minute drive each way.
