Best Buy is restructuring how it does business, urging customers to shop online rather than in its brick-and-mortar stores, and beefing up its store pickup and reorganizing its online store. One of these changes is a new initiative called ‘Be-At-Home Essentials,’ a section of the retailer’s website that’s home to all the essentials needed to work and keep fit from home.
This new section of Best Buy’s website focuses on items that make extended stays and working from home more bearable. There are five sections overall: Home Office, Home Cleaning and Care, Health Monitoring, Home Gyms, and Countertop Kitchen Appliances. Below, we’ve highlighted some discounted products that we see as great additions to any household.
