Enjoy……………..

Ciao!

[TheJoker]

Thanks for that Speedy!

Looks like ill be picking up Spidey 2.1 and some other $10 dvds...

Some decent prices on that list

[chileorgullo]

Does target price match for something like Starcraft battle chest?

[FangsFirst]

Does target price match for something like Starcraft battle chest?
Target doesn't pricematch at all.

Hmm. Dinosaurs sounds intriguing at this price...though I guess I should check the current price on 1&2

[rhpsozzy]

Looks like I'll be picking up all the Batman movies.

Is the Superman Returns with the bonus disc the 2-disc version that comes with the bonus disc? Hope that sounded right.

[grip]

Yoh Speeedeeee

I just noticed this thread, I'm lookin for the Canon HV20. The 100 off hd camcorders looks good. their financing is one month more than the current. Hope their price is a bit better by Sunday. Unless Best Buy can come up with longer term financing.

If they have it listed, can you please post the price?

Thanks for the intel...!

[bigjim25]

Cool CD title - Blake Shelton: Pure BS (Good price also) :up:

[Decker]

Of course Loco Roco is $19.99. I just bought an import version last week because I never thought I'd get the US version as cheap.

Thanks as always speedy! :D

[gotrice487]

Thanks Speedy! Looks like I'll be buying many $10 titles this week and possibly The Warriors

[Boba Fett]

Man, my friend is gonna be pissed; he just bought Spider-Man 2 for the PS2 and loved it so much he plans on getting Spider Man 3.

[Harold Wazzu]

Speedy ~ Any mention of the new Sony DSC-H9 or DSC-H7? The H9 is now on CC's web site but can't order it yet.

Thanks

[TheJoker]

Man, my friend is gonna be pissed; he just bought Spider-Man 2 for the PS2 and loved it so much he plans on getting Spider Man 3.

If he bought it recently and still has the reciept he can just buy SM3, get the extra spiderman 2 and return it to the store he bought it at with the new copy.

[speedy1961]

Yes.... it come with the extra DVD that Circuit City featured when it was first released.

I'm sorry.

I do not see that item listed in this ad.

I see what you mean Harold Wazzu.

Those items are NOT in this ad.

Sorry....

[TheJoker]

Speedy, are there any gaming accessories on sale in any of the ads?

Specifically the ds lite headset.....

[MovieMaster11]

Only thing for me is The Sandlot 3: Heading Home............Ok yeah that was a joke :lol:

[speedy1961]

Speedy, are there any gaming accessories on sale in any of the ads?

There are accessories for the XBOX 360, the PSP and the PS3 in the Circuit City ad.

Target has accessories for the Wii and the XBOX 360.


Sorry.... No headset in the 2 that I have.

[rhpsozzy]

I almost forgot to ask? Which version of Superman II is $9.99?

[MickeyMousePal]

No, Melrose Place on special, oh well guess Season One didn't sell so well.
Maybe Best Buy will have it in their ad.
I will wait for Melrose Place S2 and Beverly Hills, 90210 S2 when price goes down.
It happen last year both sets were $36.99 in November then in December it was $24.99.

I kinda expected S1 not to sell well (if it really didn't), because it was just a bad season IMO.

I hope BB doesn't have it in their ad. That way I won't be tempted to buy it and can wait for a nice little price drop.

Really it went down to $24.99 in December already!? I didn't even have both watched by then.

Close enough (I didn't realize it came down that LOW, or that quick). Still if I would have waited till then I could have saved some $$$. I didn't start watching until mid-january anyways. So thanks, now I definatly will probably wait. Have other stuff I can watch until the price comes down. ;)

[mike01]

yes which is it?!

Hey Speedy, I'm still looking for that special laptop... Can you tell me what laptops are in the $500 to $800.00 price range. For Best Buy too.


Thanks

[dpz301]

thanks speedy! might just be alpha dog for me. or i might wait.

[Cartload]

I'm waiting for the Spider-Man movies to hit Blu-Ray, but $10 for the opportunity to see the new cut now may get me to reconsider.

[superdeluxe]

Hrmm looks like constatine and v for vendetta 2 disc'ers for moi :)

Don't know if you can get your hands on a Wal-Mart ad when you get the BB, CC, and Target ads, but they do have DVD exclusives all the time. By the way, how DO you get your hands on the ads so early? Just wondering.

Eric

[BOSSY32]

Thanks Speedy. you're the best... I think I'm going to wait until neek week for the Laptop.

[evophile]

Hey Speedy! First of all I want to say thanks! You rock.

Also is there any sign of this TV in the ad? Sony 34" WEGA® Flat Screen HDTV (KD34XBR970)

It's been there the last 2 weeks and I'm just wondering if its there. If not I need to make a decision in a couple of days.

Thanks again!

Eric

I'm just well connected is all.

The problem with the Wal*Mart ad is that often they do not list prices due to the fact that each store uses Wal*Mart's variable pricing scheme to undercut local competitors. I've got 3 local Wal*Marts in my area and I get the best prices from the Shelton, CT. one. The Derby one is physically closer to me but has higher prices and the Stratford, CT seems to emulate Derby's prices on MOST items I'm interested in.

The reason I do the weekly ads (and hopefully I'm doing them well folks) is to give folks a heads up on what the big 3 big box retailers will be offering during a certain timeframe. Knowing this info beforehand gives most folks a significant advantage over Ma & Pa Sixpack thereby allowing them to maximize their spending dollars either by price-matching or by going to the retailer who has the best price (thereby inhibiting the consumer's natural urge to impulse buy or to patronize their closest retailer).


Your question about how I come into contact with these ads has been kinda half-answered by me before but it boils down to keeping my identity secret so that I can avoid the wrath of the Big 3 retailers.

And as I am fond of saying: "In order for magic to work, there must be a degree of mystery involved".

Since it benefits you and others, I'll just leave my answer at that.


Welcome to the Forum my friend!

Please feel free to ask for any ad help that you may need.

[bigjim25]

speedy - sampler does come with the Standard DVD version - Seen ad on TV

[speedy1961]

Great to know. Thanks for letting the Forum know. :up:

[porieux]

Just curious what is the point of listing prices that are MSRP?

[FangsFirst]

I just unpacked some copies of Dinosaurs ssns 3&4, and I'm wondering now if the ad simply refers to the coupon that I found on the DVD itself (one of those "instant rebate!" coupons they stick onto the front sometimes).
If not...well! You could possibly get $20 off....

[speedy1961]

Just curious what is the point of listing prices that are MSRP?

I don't evaluate or separate prices which are MSRP.

I just report what's in the ads and try to point out items which I feel or know to be good deals.

[bigjim25]

Free DVD with Miranda Lambert CD has these 7 videos for anyone wanting to know:
Famous In A Small Town - Miranda Lambert
Drinkin' Me Lonely - Chris Young
Red High Heels - Kellie Pickler
Some People Change - Montgomery Gentry
Come To Bed - Gretchen Wilson
Startin' With Me - Jake Owen
Livin' Our Love Song - Jason Michael Carroll

I bought my Miranda Lambert CD at Target for the 2 bonus songs and got DVD at CC. It was on the shelf marked .01 cent so I bought it and a 100 pack of CD-Rs, no Miranda Lambert CD at CC. :D

[JB7]
