i think best buy's gonna have s1 and s2 for $29.99 next week.

this week, best buy has s3 for 29.99, which is the cheapest it's been. and i think 29.99 is the lowest price point i've seen lost go for. maybe 27.99. but i would snatch that up. try to PM at wal-mart and get the bonus disc also.

If you have a Barnes & Noble membership, their current DVD sale would give you a great price for all three seasons. With a B&N membership, a 25% off coupon, and their B2G1F offer, all three seasons would cost around $90.

However, if you can wait for delivery, the online deal would be even better, as S1 & S2 are currently each 40% off list price, while S3 is 10% off. Add in the member discount and a 25% coupon, and you'd have this (calculations based on how they calculated things on the orders I've made during the sale):

S1 35.99 --> 0.00 (lowest priced DVD free)
S2 35.99 --> 32.39 (40% off list price + 10% member discount)
S3 53.99 --> 35.09 (10% off list price + 10% member discount + 25% off coupon used on the higher-priced of the DVDs that aren't free)

That would be 67.48 (before tax) for all three seasons -- just 22.49 per season!

Costco has Season 1 & 2 @ 29.99 each right now. That is their price until they are all gone.

I price matched Season 3 (Best Buy Flyer) @ Walmart for $29.99. Got the Bonus disc that way.

Yes, the only issue may be the coupon that is YMMV. For the most part they will take coupons on the B2G1. But occassionally you will get a clerk who will give you grief. Have them check the ship to home price. It will probably be cheaper.

I picked up Lost Seasons 1 & 2 at familyvideo.com for $29.99 each with a $5 off $50 or more coupon listed at the top of their home page. No taxes and $.99 shipping for the order came out to $55.97 total. I ordered Season 3 this week at BestBuy.com for $29.99 plus tax and shipping was $34.22.

Yes WalMart had a Bonus Disc for Season 3. Some commentary and 2 deleted scenes I think.

diditagain,
Thank you so much!! this is exactly what i did and it all worked out for exactly the amounts you say and i couldn't believe it. i thought i would at least pay for shipping, but nope! and i wanted to get in-store for instant gratify, but the in-store price is literally $25.00 more than online, not to mention they didn't have S1 though it was listed as in stock there. $59.99 compared to $35.99. can't even match that price instore. so i had it all shipped, should ship on tues and be here by friday. i can't believe the great deal with buy 2 get 1 (no restrictions) and then the 25% coupon. so great! this worked out better than i could have hoped for this all of a sudden desire to watch S1-S3. thanks so much again diditagain!!!

ps) how is BnN shipping anyway? good packaging, fast, usually loose discs, etc...?

B&N shipping has always been excellent for me. For your 3 boxsets, it should come in a box. Sometimes, just one boxset will come in those cardboard wrap-around types. In any case, I've never had loose discs or damaged merchandise from them. And they're quite fast.

Glad I could help, scott1598!! I have been stocking up on BBC DVDs during the B&N sale, purchasing items in groups of three so as to maximize savings. I never had any items discounted as much as Lost S1 & S2, but I managed savings of 46-48% on each order doing what I suggested you do (I am a bit jealous that you saved about 62% off list price on your purchase!).

And I completely forgot to mention that orders totaling over $25.00 ship free via UPS from B&N. Many of my orders have shipped from their warehouse in Edison, NJ, so depending on where you are, you could get your order very quickly (I live in PA, so I usually get those orders the day after they ship from NJ).

Enjoy your DVDs, and look around the B&N website for more deals before the DVD sale ends on Feb. 1!
