I meant it more as an "admit." I may need help.

Help for being too much of a free spender, or the fact that it's at Best Buy?

We have our own customer service number and free overnight shipping/next day delivery. Us EPs don't even have to go to the store at this point.

Exactly what are you buying so much of at Best Buy?

I buy at Best Buy for the rewards points and because its the only merchant credit card I have (if you're going to give me 6-18 months interest free to pay for something, I'd be a fool to pay cash). Best Buy is also fairly liberal with price matching. I never buy anything at Best Buy I can purchase cheaper elsewhere.

The TV in my living room was purchased on Amazon (best price). But, when it was delivered to my house, there was a crack in the screen. I got a refund from Amazon and shipped it back to them; went to Best Buy and showed them the price on Amazon; and left Best Buy with my new TV.

I love spending money, but I can't think of $8,000 worth of "stuff" I would want at Best Buy even if somebody gave me an $8,000 gift certificate.

Correct. Had you really wanted to be frugal, package that price matching with a 10% off coupon and pre-purchase the total price in Best Buy giftcards thru Cardpool at off-peak times at 92 cents on the dollar.

2 TVs, Sonos full house, a new fridge, and upgrading the guest iPads were the majority of it. I think there'd be a laptop somewhere in the last 12 months too.

Yeah, like for the night stand in the guest room and the end table in the parlor. I like to have an iPad in every room to run the automated stuff.

EDIT: Well, not the bathrooms obviously, that's unhygienic.

Is Best Buy selling Gaggenau and Viking now? Or even Sub Zero?

I don't know, tbh. I got a Samsung.
