[GenPion]

Would someone mind picking up a few of these for me? I will cover the costs of the items and shipping and handling. I really want a few of those HD-DVD's.

[too much]

GenPion,

Which titles were you interested in? I will be at a local Krogers in about in hour.

[GenPion]

GenPion,

Based on the list, these ones:

Half Baked= $3.99
An American Werewolf In London = $3.99
Slither= $5.99
Unleashed=$5.99

Let us know if you find any and if they have any additional titles you spot as well! Thanks so much! :)

[too much]

Nothing at my local store. Might try another store in a day or so.

[lee_hero]

nothing here either.

I must have Slither and American Werewolf in London.

[cinemaphile]

Definitely checking for Unscripted and Boomtown!

:fc:

[videoguy]

Another store nowhere near me.

I feel like Charlie Brown. I just cannot find a decent HD-DVD deal! Looking for titles for 5.00 or below.

[GenPion]

Nothing at my local store. Might try another store in a day or so.

Thanks for looking! Let me know if you manage to find anything.

[The Cow]

So at my Krogers I saw the have a pretty nice sized display featuring quite a few DVD's and Hd-dvd's.

What is the Kroger location?

[DirkBelig]

I was in two Kroger's in the Detroit area last night and passed DVD kiosks, but didn't notice any HD DVDs on either. I wasn't looking very closely, but something like that would've probably caught my attention.

[creekdipper]

Definitely checking for Unscripted and Boomtown!

:fc:

Just a thought...before making a special trip to Kroger's (we hardly ever shop there unless they have a special on something specific), I decided to hit Amazon...found new copies of Unscripted for $3 + $2.98 shipping on AmazonMarketplace from a couple of sellers. That's only .50 more than I would have paid to Kroger (with nearly 10% local tax), plus I saved time & gas.
Also saw Boomtown for around $6...with the $2.98 shipping charge, it would be a little more (around $1.30 in my case... if I didn't already have it), but it might be worth it if you need to save time, gas, or frustration (if your Kroger doesn't have the display).

[Matthew Chmiel]

Anyone know if Smith's (owned by Kroger) would have these?

[tofu]

Went to two Krogers (Hyde Park and Mason) and didn't see any displays for cheap DVDs. OH well . .

[kenbuzz]

I'll check my local Kroger tomorrow. Even here in the People's Republic of Bloomington, they only fleece us for 7%. If they've got any of these titles, I'll post. I'm happy to help out.

[bearkiss]

[QUOTE=kenbuzz;9168278]Where the *f* does one have a 10% local sales tax!?! -eek-

here in the fine city of nashville, tennessee we have 9.25% sales tax... AND we pay tax on food as well!

(we don't have an income tax though!)

[bmoore]

I looked around in Kroger today myself and no luck. I'm in the Detroit area as well...I can let you know if I see anything DirkBelig.

[chris_sc77]

Bellefontaine, Ohio

Yep...I'm also in Tennessee. Our local sales tax is 9.75%. However, as you noted, we don't pay state income tax.

[cinemaphile]

Three Kroger's in my area - not one of them has anything. Not even empty displays. Nothing but the usual $9.99 rack.

So much for Boomtown and Unscripted :(

[JorgeC]

I can confirm that the Ralph's in Ontario has this display. Unfortunately the selection is very limited. The HD-DVDs I saw (Balls of Fury and Chuck and Larry) were both $7.99 each and they had 2 copies of Boomtown S1 and some other random stuff. Nothing different that what was posted above.

[Michael Corvin]

I found a lot of what the OP posted last night. I did see a few that aren't in the OP's list:

The Breakfast Club - $3.99
Accepted - $4.99
Army of Darkness - $6.99

Louisville, KY
Hustbourne/Taylorsville Rd. - Had a few dozen, excellent selection.
Hikes Lane - Couple dozen total discs, terrible selection
Taylorsville Rd. by the Snyder - zero HD-DVDs
Hubbards Lane - zero HD-DVDs

Thanks OP!

[jericho2003hhh]

Smiths in Las Vegas, Sunset Street had them all listed above, plus many more.

[lee_hero]

Still none of these at the local K-Mart here.
They did have a new cardboard display last night of Sony double features for $6 each.
Here's what I can remember

Ali/The Greatest
Glory/The Patriot
Identity/??????
Muppets Take Manhattan/?????
Rugrats In Space/???????

Dammit, I should have written them down cause that's all I can remember.
They had 12 different ones though.

[johnson_design]

They had these at my Harris Teeter in Raleigh, NC. Probably had about 50 or so.

Picked up
Half Baked = $3.99
Dazed and Confused =$3.99
Animal House = $3.99
An American Werewolf In London = $3.99
Ballz of Fury = $5.99
Smokin Aces= $5.99

They also had Fast Times at Ridgemont High = $3.99, I should've picked this up.

[kenbenobi]

found new copies of Unscripted for $3 + $2.98 shipping on AmazonMarketplace from a couple of sellers.
Thanks for the tip. I just bought one...

[Michael Corvin]

Still none of these at the local K-Mart here.


:lol: There's a reason for that. Reread the first post and thread title.

I was in two Kroger's in the Detroit area last night and passed DVD kiosks, but didn't notice any HD DVDs on either. I wasn't looking very closely, but something like that would've probably caught my attention.

It should probably be pointed out that they weren't in a display (at least for me). At both locations they were in a cardboard dump bins mixed in with DVDs. They are pretty easy to miss if you are just walking by.

[Edison]

I checked a couple local Dillon's (Kroger owned) stores last night, but didn't find any of these displays unfortunately.

[FunkDaddy J]

Found all of these at the local King Soopers store (Kroger-owned). Incredible deals!

[chris_sc77]

I went back on Wednesday night and they already had a restock with new titles.
Saw(new titles):
Breach= $5.99
Mr. Bean's Holiday= $5.99
Talk To Me= $4.99
Hollywoodland= $5.99
Accepted= ether $4.99 OR $5.99

[Michael Corvin]

Actually I saw all of those last week. Must be a random thing.

[Jtheo]

Saw a bunch of these today at the Mason-Montgomery Rd Kroger. I picked up the following:

http://cultandobscurecinema.com/images/kroger_hddvd001.jpg

I saw most of the others mentioned as well.

[bearkiss]

after a few trips to various krogers around nashville, tennessee I hit success - found almost all titles listed on other posts (except of course for 2 that I really wanted!)... at least now I'm motivated to get out & hit the other krogers again to see when their stock arrives... (the store I found them in today did not have the display set up thursday afternoon)

[FunkDaddy J]

Found HD DVDs of Breakfast Club and Atonement today.

[kenbenobi]

Not sure if you have a Kroger's owned chain in your state? Check here:
http://www.thekrogerco.com/operations/operations_grocery_locations.htm
My state does not :(
CA has 382 locations. Tons of HD-DVD's to be scored there!
I never knew Alaska was in the middle of Mexico. Strange that it gets cold there...

Thanks for the link. Going to have to check my local Food 4 Less as well.

[bhauge]

Has anyone found these at Fred Meyer (Oregon, Washington)?

[dx23]

Got Atonement, The good Sheperd, Hollywodland and Breach today at my local Krogrer. The HD DVDs were located in a bin in the middle of the supermarket. They also had another separate section of DVDs near the cash registers. Saw around 20 titles, but no Half Baked.

[kenbuzz]

Spotted tonight in Bloomington, IN at the Southside Kroger (Walnut and Rhorer):

Alpha Dog
Breach
Children of Men
Eastern Promises
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Fearless
Hollywoodland
The Kingdom
Miami Vice
Mr. Bean's Holiday
Smokin' Aces
Talk To Me
Unleashed
You, Me and Dupree

The display said "$5.99", but I didn't pull all of the titles to confirm the stickered price on each. The few I did pull were $5.99.

[Cameron]

anybody in Nashville finding these?

[KingSmoth]

Went to all four Kroger's in the area last week with no luck. Went out again tonight, and one store finally had some of these titles. I picked up:
Fearless
Alpha Dog
Hollywoodland
Unleashed
The Break-Up
Slither
The Mind of the Married Man SSN 1

All were $5.99. The only other HDs they had were Chuch & Larry, Talk To Me and Mr. Bean's Holiday. I was disappointed to not find American Werewolf In London because I really wanted it, but at least I was able to nab Slither...

[mustvid]

I have been to three Krogers in the Fort Worth are with no luck. It seems be primarily the stores in the northeast. Oh well.

[jmsmath]

Just hit three Kroger's. One had no display, one had a small one and the other had a rather large display.

Picked up:

Dazed and Confused @$3.99
Unleashed @$4.99
Fearless @$5.99

Also, saw Moonlighting Season 3 and Season 5. I think they were $6.99 each.

[RedArt]

Today in Sylvania, OH they had:
Alpha Dog
Breach
Children of Men
Dazed & Confused
Eastern Promises
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Fearless
Hollywoodland
Hot Fuzz
I Now Pronounce you Chuck & Larry
The Kingdom
Miami Vice
Mr. Bean's Holiday
Smokin' Aces
Talk To Me
You, Me and Dupree

All were marked as $3.99, $5.99, or $6.99.
The Dazed & Confused I grabbed had the $3.99 sticker over the top of an old Best Buy price sticker.

[PlumPeach]

Anyone find these at Baker's (Kroger owned) in Nebraska?
I will hopefully check out a store or two in the next couple days.

[ENDContra]

They had these at my Harris Teeter in Raleigh, NC. Probably had about 50 or so.

Picked up
Half Baked = $3.99
Dazed and Confused =$3.99
Animal House = $3.99
An American Werewolf In London = $3.99
Ballz of Fury = $5.99
Smokin Aces= $5.99

They also had Fast Times at Ridgemont High = $3.99, I should've picked this up.

On the off chance they still have these available...which Harris Teeter did you get these at? Theres only 50 around here :).

[johnson_design]

It was the Kings Grant store at 401 and 1010 Rd.

[lizard]

Found all of these at the local King Soopers store (Kroger-owned). Incredible deals!No luck over here on the Western Slope at my local City Market last week. May try again at two stores today.

[GizmoDVD]

Moorpark, CA 93021 got some in finally...picked of Animal House. Appeared to have all except Half Baked...the one I actually wanted ....grr

[lizard]

On my second try, I found the bin where these were located and hit the mother lode. Saw at least 23 different titles, all combos of course. Most would be rentals at best (except that Netflix doesn't rent HD DVDs anymore) but I did pick up three.

So far as I can remember, all the the titles I saw have been mentioned by others above.

[Edison]

I checked one of the Dillon's on the other side of town tonight and ran across a bin containing these finally! They didn't have all of the titles listed here so far, but they had a couple not mentioned yet Waist Deep, and Scorpion King. I'll have to check around again, maybe they just hit town finally.

Here is a list of everything mentioned in the thread so far...
Accepted
Alpha Dog
An American Werewolf In London
Animal House
Army of Darkness
Ballz of Fury
Breach
Children of Men
Dazed and Confused
Eastern Promises
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Evan Almighty
Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift
Fearless
Half Baked
Hollywoodland
Hot Fuzz
I Now Pronounce you Chuck & Larry
Miami Vice
Mr. Bean's Holiday
Scorpion King
Slither
Smokin' Aces
Talk To Me
The Break-Up
The Breakfast Club
The Good Shepherd
The Hitcher
The Kingdom
Unleashed
Waist Deep
You, Me and Dupree

[JRColvin]

Louisville - Kroger - Hubbards Lane still has hundreds of them. They had them on Jan. 2 and they still have them today, Jan. 17.

They are not by the regular DVDs. They are by the books and magazines.

[edstein]

Picked up Fearless for $5.99. I already have most of the rest from the Inetvideo deals.

[chris_sc77]

WAWAWEEWOW....
To everyone that found these displays I urge you guys to go back if there are still titles you want. I just went and saw the same display and this time there was a big cardboard sign saying that what was in the display WAS AN ADDITIONAL 50% (the lowest stickered price.) !!!!!!!

So I picked up (All HD-DVD Combo disks):
Talk to ME = $2.49
Alpha Dog = $2.99
Slither = $2.99
The Good Shepherd = $2.99
(Jet Li's) Fearless = $2.99

Also I picked up these five but noticed that I was definitely only charged for 4 of them. Yay for me.
Pretty amazing deal I must say.

[toldawg128]

Awesome! I'll head out there tomorrow.

[whotony]

any of these stores near Philly?

[Three]

Has anyone found these in Texas?

[Michael Corvin]

Louisville - Kroger - Hubbards Lane still has hundreds of them. They had them on Jan. 2 and they still have them today, Jan. 17.

They are not by the regular DVDs. They are by the books and magazines.

Ahh, I don't recall seeing them there when I went. I'm only really looking for Eternal Sunshine though, did you happen to see that one?

[FunkDaddy J]

...this time there was a big cardboard sign saying that what was in the display WAS AN ADDITIONAL 50%....

I can verify that these are now an additional half off--but my display had no sign. I just got 5 more for $15. Great deal.

[Edison]

Just checked the store closest to me they were moved to a section of wall by the video department (out of the display box) but no 50% off signs anywhere. They didn't have much left, maybe around 6-8 titles on HD/DVD.

I'll check another store tonight or tomorrow I'll try and hit the one that had the most stock when I first found them back in January.

[FunkDaddy J]

Haven't seen this mentioned in this thread, but I found Brokeback Mountain on this deal today--half off of $6.99, so $3.49.

[theWitcher]

I picked up a few -- no sign, and my receipt made it appear that the 1/2 off discount happened because I swiped my Kroger Plus card.

[theWitcher]

Ahh, I don't recall seeing them there when I went. I'm only really looking for Eternal Sunshine though, did you happen to see that one?

I haven't seen any non-combo HD DVDs at Kroger.

[CardiffGiant]

Wow, thanks for the letting us know about the additional 50% off. It's time to stock up...

[melih69]

I wish i had one of these around me. $5.99 HD-DVD/DVD combo titles plus 50% off is a great deal. Thanks for the post.

[mr.rs]

Has anyone found these in Texas?

I've checked 3 in the Dallas area to no avail.

[Chad]

After several trips to a couple of locations throughout the month...nada. :(

[orangecrush]

Anyone find these at Baker's (Kroger owned) in Nebraska?
I will hopefully check out a store or two in the next couple days.
There were some at the Bakers on 72nd and Ames in Omaha, but there is not much left now.

[DirkBelig]

Anyone find these in Michigan, specifically the metro Detroit area?

[Luther Heggs]

Has anyone found these in Texas?
None in Fort Worth or Keller.

[WMAangel]

I wish I was getting an extra 50% off here in Richmond, VA....I have found lots of these in various Krogers around town, but only still at the stickered price...
I picked up Army Of Darkness, Dazed And Confused, and Balls Of Fury...I'd consider a few more with the 50% off discount, so I hope it makes its way here soon....

[Johnny Zhivago]

Yeah, it appears that you need to use your Kroger Plus card to get the 50% off...

Picked up Eastern Promises and Slither here... Last copy of each.

If you're local... The Chinoe Road location in Lexington, KY still has Children of Men, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Hollywoodland, Animal House, The Hitcher, two Jet Li titles, Miami Vice, Evan Almighty and some others. Display is in the front by the RX section.

[WMAangel]

Yeah, it appears that you need to use your Kroger Plus card to get the 50% off...


Not here in Richmond, VA....I scanned my Kroger Plus card (which it shows on the receipt) but it did not take any additional off of the stickered price...

[toldawg128]

Worked for me today (no 50% off signage). I got Fearless, Slither, Land of the Dead, and Eastern Promises for $13 total.

I used self-checkout to make sure the prices rang up at 50% off. If they don't, it's easy to cancel the order. If your Kroger has these, I recommend using them (if you're afraid you'll go through regular checkout and it doesn't ring up correctly).

[chris_sc77]

IO used the price scanner in the frozen food section to make things easy and check the prices before I went to checkout

[Detective Thorn]

I purchased titles at two separate stores here (Macon, GA) today and in both instances the discount did not appear until the plus card was scanned.

[Edison]

The store closest to my house didn't have the sign out, but they did indeed ring up at 50% off with my Dillon's plus card. All of the other stores in town that I went to had the 50% signage up on the dump bins.

I ended up picking up another 10 titles to go with the 12 I picked up initially when the bins first appeared.

[DEC29111]

Anybody in the Wichita,KS market.. it seems that the Dillons store at 47th St So. and Broadway just got a new shipment <they did not have any on Wed?!> which has:
The Kingdom, Mr. Bean's Holiday, Land of the Dead, Atonement, Fearless, Slither, Eastern Promises, Smokin' Aces, the Good Shepherd, Hollywoodland, Unleashed, Miami Vice, Breach, Elizabeth Golden Age , to name a few..
At the south end of the store with the Valentines Candy...

If you are in the Wichita area and find an extra copy of: Dazed and Confused : please 'PM' me as this is the only one from this 'Krogers' sale that I do not already own.

[dead000]

Anybody find any HDs in the Van Nuys, Ca. area?

[dead000]

Anybody find any HDs in the Van Nuys, Ca. area?

[dead000]

My apologies for the double post.

[runner001]

you can delete your own posts.

[DEC29111]

Side comment: What is not really funny I would almost say that my local Dillons/Kroger store(s) have had more HD-DVD titles than my local Wal-Mart's or at least one of my local Best Buy's ever did have in sock at the same time! Before the 'death?' for the format.

[wingfan]

Any Kroger's in the Detroit area? I stopped at three in Sterling Heights and no luck.

[Josh-da-man]

Picked up a couple of the HD-DVD combo discs. Never got a HD-DVD player, but it's still just $3.00 for a playable DVD. Picked up "Slither" and "Alpha Dog," and I might grab a few more tomorrow.

One of my stores had the 50% off sign, and a rather picked-over selection. Another store had the same bin, many more HD-DVDs and quite a few standard DVDs as well, but no 50% off sign. The standard DVDs were priced at $4.99 (things like Broken Flowers). Do these DVDs ring up at 50% off, too? I couldn't find a price check scanner anywhere in the store to check.

Well you can always take it to the cashier and ask how much it is before you buy it. From what I am reading 50% off does not ring before you scan your Kroger's card. Either way it is a good deal.

[flansered]

Do these DVDs ring up at 50% off, too? I couldn't find a price check scanner anywhere in the store to check.

They do, I picked up Prizzi's Honor for $2.00 because of this.

[SI78]

My local Kroger-owned Smith's had these.

I got

Moonlighting S3 - $3.50
Moonlighting S5 - $3.50
Providence Collection (6 discs) - $2.50
Angels In America - $2.50
Unscripted Complete Series - $2.50
4 Weddings And A Funeral Special Edition - $2
Far From Heaven - $2
Shelley Winters MGM Midnite Madness Double Feature - $2
Animal House HD/SD - $2
Good Shepherd HD/SD - $3
Slither HD/SD - $3
American Werewolf In London HD/SD- $2
Brokeback Mountain HD/SD - $3.50
Hitcher HD/SD - $2
Scorpion King HD/SD - $2

[printerati]

I found the cardboard bin by accident at the Finneytown (Winton Rd.) Kroger yesterday. I did not see a 50% off sign, but didn't price-check or purchase any, either. I remember seeing:

- Ballz of Fury (at least 5 copies)
- Breach
- Children of Men
- The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift
- Fearless (at least 5 copies)
- Slither
- You, Me and Dupree

[GizmoDVD]

Does the 50% sale carry over to Ralphs stores as well?

[Edubble]

Yes, the 50% does apply to Ralphs stores. I finally found a couple of movies in the Ralphs in Chula Vista. There were just a couple left.

[lizard]

All the combos were 50% off at my local store (City Market). At that price ($2 to $3) they are about the same as a rental so I purchased eight more plus the three I bought a few weeks ago. I then returned the three previously purchased using my register receipt from last month, lowering the price on them.

Good deal.

[CardiffGiant]

My has a few left, but there is no 50% off sign. I didn't take it up there to get scanned. Anyone know if they will show up as 50% off without a sign up there?

[lizard]

^Try it and see. It seems to be a system-wide Kroger sale.

[Michael Corvin]

I've been to 3-4 Kroger stores in the past week and everyone is picked clean. Only a handful of SD DVDs in the bins, if that. One store had just tossed some books in the bin instead. The DVDs were marked 50% off though, and I did snag Unscripted for half off.

[chris_sc77]

Im seriously thinking about picking up the complete series of Boomtown for $4. Seems like a good deal.

[Johnny Zhivago]

Anyone know if they will show up as 50% off without a sign up there?

Late on the reply, but yes... No sign here, but you need to use your Kroger Plus card.

Stopped in another store that did have the sign... Nothing left.

[Manzana]

So far people have mentioned Kroger's, Dillon's, and Ralph's stores having these DVD deals. I don't have any of those stores nearby, but the Kroger link says there are Fry's Food and Smith's stores nearby.

Has anyone found any of these deals at a Fry's or Smith's store?

[CardiffGiant]

Late on the reply, but yes... No sign here, but you need to use your Kroger Plus card.

Stopped in another store that did have the sign... Nothing left.

Thanks, looks like I'll run back over there today and see if there is anything left.

[dead000]

Anybody had any luck finding the HD-DVDs in the Los Angeles area?

[FangsFirst]

Im seriously thinking about picking up the complete series of Boomtown for $4. Seems like a good deal.

Kroger I was at least night--SDs did not ring up 50% off. Didn't try the HD stuff, though.

[Bob_F1]

Kroger I was at least night--SDs did not ring up 50% off. Didn't try the HD stuff, though.

At my local Ralphs, the 50% discount wouldn't show up until they scanned my rewards card. Is there a similar card for Kroger?

[DeepSleep]

Kroger I was at least night--SDs did not ring up 50% off. Didn't try the HD stuff, though.
Hmmm... Out here in Los Angeles the weekly ad of specials runs from Wed through Tues. If you tried last nite (Wed. nite), that would be the start of a new ad week (at least here in Los Angeles).

I wonder if this is a permanent 50% markdown to clear them all or is/was it a weekly special that is now over?

I checked a few Ralphs out here and there was none to be found. The cardboard displays were refilled with childrens books...

[FangsFirst]

At my local Ralphs, the 50% discount wouldn't show up until they scanned my rewards card. Is there a similar card for Kroger?

there is, scanned that, no difference...didn't occur to me that could be necessary, but I scanned it anyway because, well, I was in a Kroger, yknow?

I did only buy one title anyway, though. Was considering a new attempt.

There was no sign at this particular store though, either way.

[FunkDaddy J]

These are 75 percent off now, and at the two stores I checked, they were all in a shopping cart outside the store. I got the regular DVD of "Lovely and Amazing" for $1.24. I could have gotten the HD-DVD of "Talk to Me" for the same price but...eh.

Anyway, watch for it!

[chris_sc77]

Lucky you I still have 50% off on DVD's and the HD-dvd's. They are in a big bin with some books. Only the books are 75% off. Still I picked up Boomtown for $4

[Rob]

Got Animal House HD for $1.99 (50% off $3.99).

[KingSmoth]

I've run by the one Kroger in town that has this HD-DVD bin every day for the past few weeks hoping they'll update their selection, but so far no luck. I think I ended up with about 10 titles though to start with, not a bad haul.

[GizmoDVD]

Gonna hit up a few today in the local area. If anyone needs something major feel free to PM me. Will only charge price + shipping ($2) + $1 extra to cover Paypal fees.

[dead000]

Gizmo-

You in the L.A. area by any chance? If so, are there any Ralphs or Food 4 Less stores in the San Fernando Valley area that still have HDs?

[GizmoDVD]

Nope, Ventura county.

[DeepSleep]

If so, are there any Ralphs or Food 4 Less stores in the San Fernando Valley area that still have HDs?

I've been to several Ralphs in the San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley and northern Orange County.

The HD assortment is gone. They all have the childrens books in that funky lookin' cardboard display. The books are now 75% off.

I had also scanned a few Ralphs and found absolutely nothing in terms of any semblance of an HD assortment.

Also, when I asked management at a few of the stores they gave me a blank stare like I was speaking French.

Thanks for the response.

[GizmoDVD]

One Ralphs in Simi Valley has about 15 or so HD DVDs at 75%. I picked up the only one I needed, Fearless. The others were $1.50-$2 depending on the sticker price - 75% off. This was an hour ago.

[FangsFirst]

there is, scanned that, no difference...didn't occur to me that could be necessary, but I scanned it anyway because, well, I was in a Kroger, yknow?

I did only buy one title anyway, though. Was considering a new attempt.

There was no sign at this particular store though, either way.

Tried again today. No change.

Gizmo-

Do you remember which Simi Valley Ralphs that was, i.e. cross streets and such?

Also, do you remember off the top of your head what titles they had left?

Thanks!

What store? Was it in the L.A. area???

[DeepSleep]

What store? Was it in the L.A. area???

The store was in Whittier, CA.

As part of my job, I frequently drive a company vehicle all over the greater Los Angeles area. This allows me to visit many different Biglots, Walmarts, Targets and now Ralphs.

I bought Slither and Breach for $1.50 each. At the checkstand, the cashier knew about the deal and said " I still haven't found the time to get over there (to the display) and get some." The bag boy asked what are you taking about?" The cashier said the dvds are on clearance, most are now $1.25 to $1.50 each and points to the display.

The bag boy looks at Slither as he is putting it in a bag for me and says "This is an HD dvd, I don't have an HD player." The cashier says " It's HD on one side and regular dvd on the other side and there are a bunch of regular dvds also."

The bag boy then says "How come nobody ever tells me about this stuff?". The cashier just rolls her eyes. After the bag boy gives me my dvds in a bag, he just walks away from the check stand and heads toward the display...

Since there was nobody else waiting in the fast checkout, the cashier turns off the light at the checkstand and she also walks over towards the display. I would guess that employees also get a discount in addition to the sale price?

That conversation was priceless...

[GizmoDVD]

Gizmo-

Also, do you remember off the top of your head what titles they had left?

Thanks!

Country Club Drive/Madera (its the one NOT on Los Angeles Ave). Its very small and hidden. They had a ton... Hot Fuzz, Fearless, I Know Pronounce, Breach, Good Shepard....can't remember any others. Make sure to check up by the registers too as I spotted some up there as well.

Also the one in Moorpark had Breach, The Good Shepard, Slither and Talk to me. 75% off as well.

[dead000]

Thank you both for your help!

[atlantamoi]

That's great. I found a stash at a Kroger in Decatur, Ga. (N. Decatur Rd. and Dekalb Ind.) a couple of weeks ago. The only thing I don't like about these sales is that I end up with crap I don't even care about. I'll give one watch and maybe sell to someone at work.

BTW, that Kroger I mentioned had a few titles left two days ago. Not much, but a few.

And the titles I bought at that location yesterday weren't 75% off, but 50% off with Kroger Plus card.

Do you remember where in the store that display was? Looked up by the registers and didn't see any.

When I asked the management they had no idea what I was talking about. Hell, they didn't even know what an HD-DVD was.

Which?

Simi had them all in the frozen food section towards the back in a small cardboard waterfall standee. Moorpark in a giant box in the frozen food section.

[joe_b]

I just got back from Kroger - attempted to scan Hot Fuzz after swiping my Plus Card and it didn't register any discount at checkout. Is the deal no longer active or was I just unlucky?

[gimmepilotwings]

I went to a few Fry's within the past 2 days. Only one of them had them on sale at 50% off. The others were the full price listed.

[WMAangel]

I don't know where you are located, but I don't think the discount is across the board at all Kroger stores, because here in Richmond VA there is not yet any additional discount even if you use your Plus card....

[dead000]

Deep & Gizmo-

Thanks for all your help.

Found two Ralphs last night in the Topanga Canyon area that had quite a few HDs left. Suffice it to say, I grabbed them all.

Before I rang them up, I asked the cashier to scan my card and price check the first title. As he swiped my card, he told me the titles were 50% off. Much to his surprise, they rang up at 75% off. He asked me if there were any left and I told him nope.

Accepted
Balls of Fury (2)(*)
Children of Men(*)
Eastern Promises
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Hollywoodland
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
Slither (2)(*)
Talk To Me (2)(*)
You, Me, and Dupree(*)

I have extras of a few of the titles, if anyone is interested.

[DeepSleep]

Found a few more at another Ralphs. These were displayed at the checkstand. They only had 4, so I bought them all. They are 75% off with the Ralphs rewards card.

Prices listed reflect the 75% off.

HD/SD combo disc Accepted $1.25
HD/SD combo disc Dazed & Confused $1.00
HD/SD combo disc The Good Shepherd $1.50
HD/SD combo disc I now pronounce you Chuck & Larry $2.00

Can't go wrong at these prices...

[kenbenobi]

Congrats to you both. I admit, I'm jealous... Those are super bargains indeed. I have a friend in Orange County. She checked 3 Ralph's for me yesterday, but found no HD-DVD's at all... :(

EDIT: She went to 2 more Ralph's last night, and finally scored me some. I don't know what she got other than Breach and Slither, but she got like 10 titles...

[dead000]

Picked up a few more today over at the Ralph's on the corner of Coldwater Canyon and Burbank Blvd. in Van Nuys.

Hot Fuzz
Breach (2)
The Good Shepherd (2)
Mr. Bean's Holiday
Fearless
Evan Almighty
Alpha Dog

Just on a lark, popped in and found them in a black wire mesh bin in the front of the store with a 75% off card attached to it.

Makes going to Fry's rather difficult now that I've been bitten with the 75% off bug.

[gunthonungo]

I've been to 4 Krogers and haven't been able to find any HD DVD's at any of them... are there any specific spots to look for these things? i.e. by the magazines, customer service or anywere else? Any help would sure be appreciated. And, if anyone in the DFW area knows of a store that has some, please let me know.

[atlantamoi]

I've been to 4 Krogers and haven't been able to find any HD DVD's at any of them... are there any specific spots to look for these things? A couple of stores I went to had cardboard bins with a large stash of children's books on top and some HDs were underneath.

I've noticed at some of the stores that they're being placed in the Sony 2 for $20 display if the number of HD discs are low. Another place to check are those black wire multi-tier mesh baskets that hover around the end-caps located in the front of the stores.

Those cardboard bins are disappearing from the stores in this area.
