What is Your BEST Buy?

Find your best price, Google search, read the reviews...& ask people! ...honestly though? i usually end up buyingfrom Amazon.com because i like the reviews and the priceis usually only a few cents off from a 15 min search for alower price....and if the thing does NOT work the customerservice is so good

BEST BUY ALERT: sometimes you gotta just have it NOW!Check the internet price before you go and if it’s a bigpurchase PRINT IT OUT! - Then go to Customer Service tomake sure they MATCH their own price!
