We all love shiny new electronics and we REALLY love saving money! So the frugal editors at Answer-Wiz set out to find out How to save money at Best Buy – one of our fave stores for electronics and other cool toys. We came up with these….

6 Ways to Save Money at Best Buy:

1. Price Match! Check other stores’ prices online for the item you need then if you find it cheaper, print it out and take it into the store or call Best Buy to request a price match and pay online. The item must be in stock with the other retailer and not all retailers are included. See Best Buy’s Price Match Guarantee details here. We put the Best Buy Price Match Guarantee to the test–click here to find out how it went.
2. Sign up for the My Best Buy rewards program to earn points, free shipping and longer return periods depending on the level you obtain. Details here.
3. Check your credit card’s discount programs. For example, Discover Card offers Discover Deals on many retailers. They offer additional cash back or other discounts. Discover also occasionally offers additional cash back at retail stores like Best Buy occasionally throughout the year so check back often. At least with Discover and many other credit cards, you can probably still earn a small amount of cash back any time of the year. Again, be sure check your credit card’s benefits as well as exclusions.
4. Buy discounted gift cards. Sometimes stores like Meijer offer discounts on the purchase of gift cards, like $5 off the purchase of $50 in gift cards. Also check your credit card’s bonus program. Sometimes you can cash in your points for gift cards, maybe even for reduced rates.
5. Check coupon sites like Retailmenot for coupon codes. Best Buy coupon codes are hard to come by and when they are found they are usually for a specific item or category like “personal care items.” But it is always worth the quick search if you might save money.
6. Check the in-store clearance rack. You won’t find these discounted items on their website so keep your eyes peeled next time you’re in store.
