The Fry’s Electronics of Renton looked very dismal to say the very least. From my take on it, it seems like the business as a whole is about to go out of business. From walking through most of the store interior, it seemed like that they had little to no new merchandise and this was […]

For some reason, I got sucked into the sensation of what I thought were “bargains” that later I thought didn’t have the best […]
