Did you ever buy a DVD from a grocery store?

Why is it a rip-off? Anyway, I bought a couple used DVDs for $3.99 each from a grocery store that rented DVDs. That's it.

No, but my local grocery has one of those double sided MGM display stand thingies... $9.99 for brand new DVDs, same as Best Buy, etc... I usually give it a glance.

no but like Johnny Zhivago, this small grocery store near me has a stand for MGM DVDs. Bowling for Columbine, Manchurian Candidate, and a bunch of others for 9.99. they also have other stuff but I forget what.

I never go over to the dvds at Bi-Lo cause they have them placed where you wouldn't seem them until after you checked out at the registers and walked into the aisle. Dumbest idea ever.
At Ingles they have a dvd stand, but many of the dvds can be had for cheaper elsewhere.
So no.

I don't buy DVDs at grocery stores. I also don't buy food at Circuit City or Best Buy.
I've seen enough to know the grocery store DVDs are always overpriced. Better deals are had elsewhere. And I'm not big on buying used DVDs when new ones are often between $10 and $20.
With one exception. I saw a new copy of Tremors at my local grocery store, and bought it. Best part is the price rang up wrong, so I got it for free.

All the time... my local grocery store has a very decent Electronics section, and their dvds are usually $1-$5 cheaper than Best Buy or Future Shop, which is pretty damn sweet.
