Some tips for saving the most while shopping
As it is with most sales though, you’ll want to comparison shop to be sure you’re really getting the best deal, and avoid the temptation to buy something you don’t really need or want just because it’s discounted. With that said, there should be some great prices on items as Best Buy plans to pull out all the stops to celebrate its 50th.
