17 Best Impulse Buys from Best Buy

PICK UP EVERYTHING FROM SNACKS TO TOOTHBRUSHES AT THE ELECTRONICS SUPERSTORE.

You might think of Best Buy as just a store for major electronics and appliances now, but that's all about to change. Say you're getting a new phone. Why bother buying your accessories and extra chargers on Amazon when Best Buy sells the same products (and offers price matching to boot)? And what's the point of paying additional shipping fees when you can add headphones, Bluetooth car kits, and even snacks on to your Best Buy order?

So if you're ready to let that big blue box store become your one-stop shop for everything electronics, read up on some of Best Buy's best impulse buys. (And you don't have to say that 10 times fast to get 'em!)
