I recieved on today's newspaper a weekly ad for Costco with several coupons. One of the coupons is for a buy 1 get 1 free TDK DVD-R or TDK DVD+R 100 disc pack. Price comes up to $43 for both packs. Offer valid from 8/15 - 8/21.
Enjoy!

These are PRINTABLE DVD's also....I will probably spring for 200 discs next week :) Not a bad deal for people with Epson R200/R300 printers

I read on another forum that the +r media is supposedly better quality than the -r media, but I can't remember the media codes and which forum I saw that on.

Paging Buford T. Pusser to thread #433721!
For those that still have their "Summer 2005 Member Passport To Savings", the coupon is in there as well. No pizza coupon this week though. :sad:
Plan on picking that up, along with a $4 off marinated pork loin. :drool:

Same here. I wish I knew someone who could grab me some of these and let me pay for shipping and something extra!

According to a post on fatwallet:
Made in Taiwan, -R is TTG02 and +R is CMC-MAG E01 rev00. (This may vary due to location)
According to digitalfaq: DVD media guide
TTG02 is first class media
CMC-MAG is third class media
... so I had it backwards up above, the -R is the good stuff, the +R is the iffy stuff.

Was someone paging me?
I'm thinking about getting these although Mr. Salty hasn't approved my purchase.
Mrs. Pusser is a fan of the pork. Maybe I'll get one of those too.

I usually get +R discs....I thought those had the best compatability with home DVD palyers...not sure though. I may try -R this time. we'll see

I would go with the -R. Those I've found to be the most compatable.

Moving to Mature Forum.
I'm kinda in the same boat as you, DJ Longfellow. I have always used +r (I can burn either, suppodedly), and my newer DVD player likes those. My older player will usually develop a skip every minute or so.
So do I care? Do I risk and purchase 200 -r, which I haven't tested in my player (or burner for that matter)? Maybe they would work well in BOTH my players. :up:
I may have 198 to sell cheap in a few days. :lol:

I always use tdk -r, and not a problem. I'm running low so i may pick these up. Is the $43 the price of both of them together? they usually retail around $80 for a single spindle of 100.

Yup, that's the point 200 for $43.
And I also only use Fuji and TDK. no problems with either..ever.

08-11-05, 03:26 PM
well, maybe I'll try -R for once....I've always used +R. Maybe one of each if they would let me do that

Does anyone know where to find this coupon online?
DJ_Longfellow
08-12-05, 02:16 PM
The coupon is ONLY available to CostCo members. It's in the passport book they send home every few months. I doubt it will be online.....they will sometimes give you the book at the store.

Well, it's probably too late for this now...but today at Costco I saw they had the 50 packs of TDK DVD-Rs for $10.50 each, but it ends today. So it would actually be a better deal for 200 discs ($42) and no coupon is required. And they're the printable ones too.
dx23
08-22-05, 11:40 PM
4 packs of 50 DVDs for $10.50 each = 2 pack of 100 DVDs for $42
4 x 10.50 = 42
don't see the difference unless you wanted less DVDs.

How about you could have picked it up without a coupon?
Y2K Falcon
08-23-05, 10:18 AM
Anybody (with, say, more than 100 posts) still need a pack? I'll give priority to those that posted earlier in the thread... A little heavy to ship, but if you I'm betting "slow boat to china" would be reasonable (What, like maybe $4-5? unless you want to pay the extra for 2 day or something. Who has already sent these to someone, and how much was it?).
I can't justify keeping both, when I still have like 7 unopened packs of the 25's from Staples 6 months ago (still on my first one :blush: ). When I brought them home my wife asked why I bought them, and I said "now I have enough and won't have to buy any more". She replied "that's what you said the last time". :sad:
If you need a pack, reply in this thread to claim it, since I can't get email from work. We'll then exchange address/payment info out of the thread.

Oddly enough...a very good (and similar deal) can be found at supermediastore.
Before ordering at Supermediastore check out their coupon/rebate offers. They are currently offering a $7.00 off coupon on TY 4X. That brings the price down to $22.00 per 100. Unbelievable price.
And you're guaranteed to get TY discs. I'm not sure if TDK is TY or not.

Do you have a link to that coupon? I didn't see it on their website anywhere...TIA!
And the TDK -R spindles that Costco had on sale are TTG02 (made in Taiwan)
