Best Buy Shopping Hacks:

#1: Shop for FREE with Free Best Buy Gift Card With Swagbucks!

Why pay, when you can score deals at Best Buy for FREE? By far the easiest way to shop at Best Buy for free is by signing up with Swagbucks and earning free Best Buy gift cards.

Here’s how it works:

Sign up with Swagbucks
Then start earning Swagbucks SB Points. There are so many EASY ways to earn Swagbucks! You can earn by Searching the Web {just like you would using Google}, Taking Surveys, Using Coupons, Shopping Online, Watching Videos, etc. I typically earn an easy $25 each month on Swagbucks!
Cash in your Swagbucks SB Points for Free Dominos’s Gift Cards! As an example, 1,000 SB Points = a $10 Best Buy Gift Card.

#2: Use Best Buy’s Price Match Guarantee!

Another way to save big is to use the Best Buy Price Match Guarantee. This works both in store or online, and overall is one of my favorite Best Buy shopping hacks! Whenever I’m looking at an item in-store that I want to buy, I just hop on my phone and search for a lower price elsewhere, and have Best Buy match it. Check out the guidelines Here.

#3: Check BestBuy.com prices Before You Head to the Store

Always check the online price of any item you want to buy. Recently when I was about to buy some batteries in the store, I looked up the price online and found out that they were cheaper on BestBuy.com. When I got to the cashier, I mentioned the lower price listed on their website, and she price-matched the batteries to the cheaper online price! It was such an easy way to save $4.00!

#4: Never Pay for Shipping!

Skip the shipping costs on your order, and never pay for shipping again! When you order products online, just have them shipped to your local store for free! How nice is that?! Just simply pick up your order when you’re out and about!

#5: Sign up for the Best Buy Rewards Program + Get a 10% Birthday Coupon!

With a My Best Buy membership you can enjoy Rewards Points for every dollar spent, get exclusive deals, early access to sales, a 10% off birthday coupon and more!

#6: Take Advantage of Open Box Deals

Open box deals are one of my favorite ways to save on electronics. You can score incredible discounted prices on refurbished phones, tablets and more this way! I bought my Macbook Pro as an open box item at Best Buy a few years ago, and saved hundreds of dollars on it!

#7: Check the Best Buy Ad Before You Shop!

Another easy way to save money is to check the Best Buy Ad online or in your newspaper before you head to the store. You never know what you’ll find on sale. Year round, there are some great deals and bargains to be found!
