“Summer Time” is playing in the back of my mind and I can’t help but start to think about summer entertaining. Summer is a great time to get together with friends and family. If you’re looking to host a gathering it’s time to get your tech gear ready for the party. One place that will give you the biggest value for your money is at Best Buy.

I usually shop at Amazon and Best Buy for my tech gadgets so today, I’m sharing with you how I get deals in a brick and mortar store.

Frankly, it can be difficult trying to buy blindly without seeing and touching items in person. Not being able to use your sense to inspect an item is a huge downside when shopping online. In fact, feeling the weight of an item can really help you determine whether something is quality or not. Reading a product’s description doesn’t always share the full story.
