I’m no stranger to doing laundry.  Having raised 10 kids, for years and years I did a minimum of 5 loads of laundry a day.  Whites, darks, colors and towels (2 loads).  Often I did more.  On weekends, there were sheets from all the beds to launder.  In winter, there were jackets and sweaters to wash and dry. Having reliable energy savings washers and dryers was a must for us. Thankfully, we always had a Best Buy near us, and they did their best to deliver our appliances in just a day or two.

Best Buy is all about Great Selection, Great Prices and Sustainability.  Offering so many energy-efficient products inclugin ENERGY STAR certified electronics and appliances, it’s no wonder that Best Buy is the go to for savvy shoppers.
