Why I Think
Fry's Electronics Sucks Ass!

Best Buy Challenge

This is my challenge to Fry's best buy guarantee... I took a Fry's advertisement and chose several items and find you a better price on the web (which Fry's will not match)

ATTENTION: I am NOT endorsing any of the retailers below. I found better prices on the web as I stated I would, and that's it. You need to use common sense in dealing with any retailer. Note though, that these all appear to be reputable dealers and I would not hesitate to use any of them listed here. In addition, prices are always subject to change.... DO NOT give me crap cause prices have changed, it's going to happen. This page will remain up as a history that Fry's can never offer the best buys,,, and I guarantee that with my word!

Week 1 - July 17th, 1999

These are not the only things I looked up this week... I actually looked up the Apple iMac and found that I could save $30 and I looked up the 48x CD-Rom drive they have advertised and found I was able to save around $4. In EVERY instance, I was able to find these lower prices within 2 minutes!
