I was at my local Safeway today, and throughout the store they have $9.99 DVDs for sale, buy one get one free. It says it applies to ALL $9.99 movies at the store. Some decent titles, and for $5 each, it seems like a good deal to me.
I can't remember what date this expired, but I know it was one or the other.

Safeway still exists? This sounds like a decent deal but the last time we had Safeway was like 2 decades ago and they all disappeared seemingly overnight.

I'll take a closer look now, but most of the titles I see at my store are the 1st releases of MGM movies. The Princess Bride is a good example. I've also seen a lot of the MGM releases that dropped the extras that made them SE's like Bull Durham and the Terminator.
But I did see a spererate display of the new Fox tiles with special lenticular covers and I believe they were priced at 9.99. I noticed they had the exact older 1 disc releases under the old slipcovers, but $5 each isn't bad if you would be happy with one of those releases.

I keep an eye out for used DVDs at Safeway. They occasionally have $2.50 titles. I found Turtles Can Fly, Das Experiment, and Vera Drake at that price.

Aren't they called Tom Thumb down there? I noticed that when I last went to Dallas, I was like "This is a Safeway!"
Anyways I got 6 stores nearby to check out. Hope they got more than a handful for sure.

In the chicagoland area, safeway = Domincks. i don't know if this sale is there, but i figured i'd throw that in.
Same thing with your albertsons. Jewel and Acme are the same companies. also, in the west i think there might be a few buttreys left. (or however you spell it)
