Deals at Giant Eagle
Noticed a new DVD display at Giant Eagle tonight. There are three price categories of movies, each with a discount.
I picked up one from the lowest - got U-571 for $2.95 - which was $4 off the regular price of $6.95.
Might be worth a look.

I must say it was a bit of a culture shock for me when I walked into the local Giant Eagle a few months back and saw the huge DVD section now stuck in the middle of the place. If they're going to start doing good deals on their DVDs, then I guess I'll have to start volunteering to do the shopping instead of the wife.

One can really work Giant Eagle if you're good. They offer .20 off per gallon of gas for every $50 you spend in the store. Use their gift cards every time you shop at sears, pizza hut, dicks, home depot and a host of other places.
Buying an appliance? Imagine how much you'll get off your next tank of gas. (BTW, Home Depot gives an extra 10% off appliances if you find them cheaper elsewhere)
You can buy up to 30 gallons of gas at a time (so make sure you're empty and have empty gas cans). Yesterday I bought 30 gallons of gas. Total cost: $0.00
Work the systems and save big!

Yeah thanks, I mostly see new releases for $22.95, but there are those really cheap gems I will keep my eye out for!

It may be set up differently at different locations, but at the one I was at - Leetsdale, PA - the sale displays like this one are set up inside the store, outside the entrance to the video department. Usually on cardboard racks, stands or bins.
To get the lowest price on these, like the $2.95 U-571, you have to use their "Advantage" card.

I try to double up on their sales with coupons, which they double. I do pretty good that way.
And by shopping there, I don't have to go to the "human zoo" that is WalMart.

Actually, she's the one that got fed up with their grocery prices and started doing the primary shopping at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. She usually goes early in week on a morning and it isn't so bad at that time. We do still get a few things at GE though, especially quick trips for a few items since it's closer to home.
By the way, I read last month that for rentals Iggle Video will soon be gone, replaced by kiosks ( http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07185/799303-28.stm )
