Best Buy has its name for good reason- it is the best place to buy all things electronic.
As we start to embrace our adulthood, we must come to terms with the number of big purchases we have to make now. Extra money can no longer be spent solely on Big Macs and candy. Instead, we must begin to learn to save. Big-ticket items like washing machines and vacuum cleaners have to be purchased and where better to do so than Best Buy?
As we’ve grown to be college students, we have developed a whole new list of needs. At some point, we’ll all need to get some sort of computer and want to get some sort of fun gadget. But as it stands, there are no places in town where you can really find a wide selection of such items in Laramie.
Sure, Wal-Mart has a little bit of everything, but it’s like that graphic tee that you put on when you cannot decide what to wear. Conversely, Best But is like your comfy sweater- it has a specific purpose and it knows how to perfectly fulfill that purpose.
Yes, Best Buy has the right breadth of selection for us to find exactly what we need and even better- Best Buy has a price match guarantee!
That is right folks, we have grown as a species, eliminating the need for physically shopping around. Nowadays, all we need to do is find the best price for our desired purchase online and Best Buy will charge us exactly that amount. We live in a beautiful time! The future is now!
This blue and yellow store has even more to offer us. From time to time, you just need to treat yourself to something small. Sure, you could go to Safeway and get some specialty cheese or kale or something. But, if we had a Best Buy in town, our choices would expand exponentially. Maybe you come across a fun pair of panda headphones or a bedazzled phone case- the possibilities are endless at Best Buy!
However, maybe you are not comfortable surrounded by confusing electronics. Luckily, that is not a problem at Best Buy. Those blue-shirted sales associates always seem to be tremendously knowledgeable. No matter how little you know about the type of tablet you want, you would be in safe hands at a Best Buy.
Listen, the real world is a big, scary place. As we gradually discover it, we will be faced with decisions like getting an energy-efficient dryer or a juicer. Sure, these things can be confusing- even more so when we do not have a place to buy such products in person. This is why we need a Best Buy in our sweet little college town. It is simply a part of growing up.
