A user discovers a gaming PC for 750 euros in the supermarket, which is offered for far too low a price. The processor and graphics card are worth more together than what is being asked for the computer. He can’t resist and buys the system.
Nowadays, supermarkets offer their customers much more than just grocery shopping. In addition to clothing and everyday items for the household, many retailers now have a large number of electronics products in their assortment.
Especially larger supermarket chains utilize their sales areas to sell rows of PC systems. These offers target, for example, customers who want to avoid the typical beginner mistakes when assembling their own computers.
A user has now discovered a very good deal at such a retailer. A gaming PC for 750 euros has hardware that costs 1,200 euros when purchased individually.
750 Euro gaming PC in the supermarket is worth 1,200 euros
What kind of PC is this? While doing his grocery shopping, Reddit user EclecticEsquire came across a great deal for a gaming PC at the supermarket. The unpackaged computer simply had a price tag with an overview of the components installed.
The supermarket was asking 750 euros for the computer. For this price, however, the gaming PC offered surprisingly powerful hardware.
- Processor: Intel i7-13700F
- Graphics card: GeForce RTX 4060 TI, 16 GB
- RAM: 32 GB DDR5
- Mainboard: MSI PRO B760-VC WIFI
- Power supply: 650 watts
- Storage: 1 TB SSD + 2 TB HDD
- Accessories: Mouse and keyboard
The user immediately realized that this was a very good deal. He couldn’t resist and took the gaming PC at this price.
I went to Costco for my standard purchase of a 55-gallon barrel of milk and a pallet of eggs. There, I came across this deal. Too good to pass up!
EclecticEsquire on Reddit
How much money has he saved? EclecticEsquire shared his find with the community on Reddit. Other users could definitely understand his decision to buy and compared the price of the gaming PC with the individual costs for the installed hardware.
They found that the processor and graphics card together would cost around 785 euros. With a price of only 750 euros for the computer, the gamer would have already saved about 35 euros just that way.
The community estimates the total value of the other components at around 420-450 euros. In total, he would have had to pay about 1,200 euros for the system if built himself. Moreover, buying a complete system saves the effort of doing proper wiring, which would otherwise have to be done by oneself.
The community congratulates on the bargain
What do others say about this find? The reactions of some users are therefore not surprising. Many congratulate him on this deal.
- Comment from S_T_R_Y_D_E_R on this find: “That’s a bargain, congratulations!”
- Neonik couldn’t help but say: “Damn, that’s a good deal.”
Itguy2901 wondered why he doesn’t have such luck while shopping:
- “How do you find such deals? I go to Costco every two weeks and look for these deals, but find nothing.”
The secret of EclecticEsquire lies simply in regularly visiting the supermarket, which he explains as follows:
- “I go there once or twice a week. Costco is 3 minutes from my work, and on the way home I always quickly pass through the aisle with the PCs. I’ve seen some good deals, but this was the best deal I’ve ever seen.”
The user was lucky to find such a good deal at his local retailer. Unfortunately, there are also customers who don’t want to spend money on new hardware and help themselves to the gaming PCs displayed in supermarkets: DIY enthusiast makes an amazing discovery in the supermarket – “Looks like someone got a free 4060 Ti”
