I can’t stand paying full retail price for videogames. It goes against my nature. But the trouble is that sales on videogames are hard to predict. You know the first week it’ll be cheaper, usually $5 or $10 off, but after that it’s a mystery. But you know what’s worse than paying full price, waiting. That’s why god created Best Buy.
I thought everyone knew this little trick, but I was mistaken. See, Best Buy has all sorts of giftcards. There’s usually a huge display right by the cash registers. If you peruse their selection, you’ll notice they have a “Games” gift card. And on the back of the gift card is a coupon for $5 off any videogame over $19.99. So what I usually do is buy that gift card, and then I use the gift card with the coupon to buy the game I want. It’s like winning the lottery. Best Buy is giving you $5 for just being awesome.
And don’t feel bad or ashamed for doing it. It’s Best Buy, they deserve it.

i don’t recall, why do they deserver it?
They know what they did
Is it because you applied with for a job with them once, were asked in the ethical examination “Would you eat our babies and steal our stuff” and you answered “possibly”, thereby denying the job?
Nooooo, It’s because when I went to buy my cd changer, there was no one in the car audio department at Best Buy. But as soon as I went to Circuit City, there was a guy there. Even gave me a business card if I remember correctly. So in conclusion, Best Buy is evil.
But there was that one time I was just standing in the Xbox aisle with a Xbox Live kit, and a CSR just gave me a $20 off coupon.
But then they have Geek Squad, so they’re back in the Evil.
They gave you money and you stay hate them? You’re one tough cookie to crack
