I often prefer to use www.BestBuy.com over going to the actual store. Well, during the holiday season I wanted to check-out some newer items they had in stock. I was glad to have made such a decision. While checking-out, the sales-clerk who was ring ing up my items offered some insights that saved me more money through in-store specials, rebates, and similar products priced lower. But there's more to it! This employee then asked if i wanted to use my American Express card, and if-so I could get free magazine subscription trials for many choice selections. These suggestions all ended up being quite significant! (Ex. $20 Manf. rebate for 1GB memory card, $15 BestBuy rebate for a home cordless phone, 10% special invite discount coupon through mail, and free magazine subscriptions) PROS: Variety of brands and models for all price-ranges CONS: Sales staff is either extremely knowledgable or very aloof.

The employees here are always really helpful, almost obnoxiously helpful. And the CDs are always a great deal, compared to other music stores. There are usually specials, too.

I went into the store knowing nothing about televisions, and one of their salesman helped me choose the right television for the right price. He didn't try to push the expensive model and got me everything I needed. Will shop there again definitely!
