Borders buy 3 get 4th DVD/CD Free 9/14 - 9/17

[dx23]

I was at Borders tonight and recieved a coupon for a buy 3 get 4th DVD/CD (less expensive) free. The coupon is valid from 9/14 to 9/17.

Was this a coupon you simply picked up off the counter, or did you get it as the result of making a purchase?

Result of making a purchase.

What type of deals/coupons/ promotions do they usually have? I recently moved to an area with a Borders store for the first time, and took a glance in at the DVD sections... everything high priced, nothing on sale, no advertisements.. full msrp or close to it on everything. Why did I remember seeing so many deals or posts about Borders?

[dx23]

Usually new releases are $19.99 or $22.99. Borders is a good place to find Out of print stuff and a variety of films that you wouldn't find on Best Buy, Wal-Mart, etc.

I'm not sure how this would work out to a deal. You'd have to find new releases that are heavily discounted. If not, you'd be paying MSRP. The only time I've been able to get a good deal is when I had the $10. off coupon and I combined it with a personal shopping day.

I jsut bought some stuff today and mine was 25% off a book and/or 25% off a DVD when purchase total is over $10, for the same time period -- 9/14 - 9/17.

I got the same one today. Almost seemed like a good deal, but most stuff there seemed to0 expensive to make it worth it. Also, I don't have a Border's near me (two Waldenbooks though), was just visiting a friend near one and wanted to use the %30 off coupon, so the drive out there for a dvd that I could probably pay the same for elsewhere without a coupon just isn't worth it. Could get another book at WB but I have bought so many recently (including today) that I'm all set for a while.

If you end up comparing prices, those 30% offs will almost always give you the best B&M price possible. At least, if you buy anything other than recent mainstream releases (though even recent re-releases can work).
The B3G4 deal also often severely improves things. I got the Ronin SE (as an example; I got about 19 DVDs at the time) for what would amount to 14.99.
Yeah, you've gotta get 4 DVDs, but if you do it carefully you can be getting 4 DVDs cheaper than usual (or if nothing else, some cheaper than usual and some that are iffy on the cheap, but OOP so it's kind of a moot point--2/19 DVDs were OOP in that group I bought last time).

Criterions are also often a good thing to aim for (again, not big new movies is the key here).

Everyone knows that this coupon is phony.

Sometimes the coupons that have been given out on the sales receipt in-store will turn up as an email coupon later in the week - hopefully that will happen with this one.

I'll say, over the Labor Day weekend I found the recalled anniversary edition of The Shawshank Redemption. Used the 30% off coupon too... I felt so guilty :)

Not to hijack this thread, but has Borders changed their rewards program so that you can earn as many personal shopping days in a month as your wallet dictates? I've used three personal shopping days this month, and my account still lists an unsed personal shopping day that expires next month.

I haven't heard any such thing, so I'd think you got a lucky error for the month...
