I know that many people love to shop online. Even I do. But not for tech items. I like to touch, feel and play with the items before I buy them. I mean, you really can’t tell how a speaker will sound on the internet nor can you tell how a digital antenna will pick up, right? So, my husband and I like to shop for the best electronics at Best Buy.
How To Get The Best Prices On The Best Electronics
You know me. I love to save money where I can, as I am sure most of you do. That is another reason we like to shop at Best Buy. I want the best electronics that I can get for my money and they have a low price guarantee. We had a couple of TVs go out recently {may they RIP} and we have replaced one of them, but we need one more. So, we have been browsing the huge, and I do mean HUGE, selection of TVs available at Best Buy. I can honestly tell you, I have never seen so many TVs representing so many brands in one place at one time. Ever.
Geek Squad Services Available At Best Buy
Also, there is no way that I am trying to mount a TV on a wall by myself. Me + TV installation = recipe for a broken TV or a broken me! So, that is another thing that I love about Best Buy. If you buy yourself some shiny new pretties at Best Buy, but are scared to install them, Geek Squad {conveniently located in Best Buy} offers installation services on many of their popular electronics, including wall mounting of TVs. They can even do minor things like calibrating your remote to your TV {which I ALWAYS hate doing}.
So, What Did We Buy At Best Buy?
Many of you know that we cut the cord a long time ago. For those of you don’t, this means that we got rid of our satellite. We also do not have cable or any other form of traditional paid TV. Really, we felt it was just too much money for something that we only watched a very few channels from. So, instead, we signed up for some cheaper internet based rental services. It saved us a bunch of cash, but we can’t really pick up local channels where we are located {and the hubs loves his football}. Therein lies the dilemma. So, #CollectiveBias sent us on a #OneBuyForAll mission to Best Buy to find ourselves an awesome digital antenna in the TV accessories section. Game on!
We have tried out two antennas before. One came from a local big box store and the other was a hand me down. Neither work for our rural area. So, a Best Buy team member by the name of Christopher was nice enough to help us choose an antenna that would be right for our unique geographical location {as far as TV antennas are concerned, anyway}. He assured us that this digital antenna would help us get the most channels possible – and just on the offside that our land geography didn’t allow it to – then we could bring it back and exchange it within 15 days. Try it out before you commit? I like Best Buy’s style. 😉

Thanks for the tips and help. I want good prices but I'm like you and like to buy electronics at the store. I research products online bu prefer to shop at the store. I like their buyers guide and help. Congrats on he antenna...just in time for Super Bowl.
My husband will research every corner of the earth before he buys an electronic device. Best Buy is definitely our #1 choice unless of course there's something somewhere that just can't be beat. These are great tips though. I will have to forward this to him.
That's how my husband is! Research, research, research. Then start pricing research.
I love Best Buy!
We use Best Buy as our "research department" before we buy electronics. We check out their stuff, talk to their geeks about how it works & what we really need/don't need but then we usually end up buying the actual product at Wal-Mart because we get it cheaper over there. Since we don't mount our televisions to the wall or need anyone to calibrate our remotes, we don't need the geeks for anything but their knowledge. We got a great 42" TV + Blue-Ray DVD player + all the cables needed to hook it all up and I got change back from $500 so we were really happy!!
Are you aware that Best Buy prices matches? Just a thought when you make your next purchase. Not only could you perhaps get the price offered elsewhere, but you could also save gas. ;)
Thanks for that info but since our WM is only across the street from BB it's really easy to hop over there to get what we checked out at BB plus also pick up all of the other stuff that we always buy at WM in the same trip (groceries, prescriptions, etc.).
Nice, I haven't been able to get an antenna to work where I live either. Maybe I should stop by Best Buy and see what they can do for me.
I definitely suggest going in there and telling them about your situation. I am sure they would be more than happy to suggest an antenna that is most likely to work for you.
I love Best Buy. Their price match is the best and their in-store customer service is top notch! I've heard a lot about these Digital Antennas, I may have to give it a try....if I can talk the wifey into it (lol!)
The digital antenna really is sweet. The hubs is writing a review of the antenna, itself, for Eat Play Rock. We should be posting it soon.
I do most of my electronics shopping at Best Buy! Can't beat their service!
We buy almost all of electronics at Best Buy if we use a brick and mortar store!
They always have the best prices, and great items!
Best Buy is our go to store for all of our electronics. Great Prices and their Customer Service is excellent!
Thanks for the tips. We always purchase our electronics at Best Buy, they have the best service and the best deals.
