Wow, some good prices in there. I'm in for True Blood S3 for $14.99 and Mad Men S4 for $9.99. Gonna wait for The Borgias to hit the $20 mark.

As always, thanks for the post, JohnIan!

Thanks John!

For anyone who hasn't already bought The Walking Dead, $9.99 is not a bad price at all. I paid $14.99 for mine and I thought that was a decent price...:sad:

Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection
- Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack with exclusive video $14.99Is that price correct on the Harry Potter 8-Film Collection? $14.99???:confused:


Other than that I don't see anything of particular interest to me but I'll check out the store just the same. -kd5-

Is Target actually open on the 25th?

DJariya

Finally, Dexter season 5 drops below $20. Will probably get that.

Also need Gossip Girl season 4 and $14.99 is a great price.

Looks like I will also get True Blood season 3. Was thinking about getting it at BB's 50% off HBO sale, but this is cheaper.

BTW John, The Borgias 1st season is only 9 episodes. If you like period dramas it's good, but for me it was a little tough to get into.

If that's true, I'm glad I bought P2 on BF for $6.99, don't need the exclusive, picked up single-disc WS editions of parts 1 thru 7 (P1) for $3.96 ea. at Walmart, all 8 for $34.71 total. Might have been able to get the combined package for that or less if I'd waited, but how long? I'm happy with these. -kd5-

Been waiting for that price for HP and Hallows part 2 to go down. That and Smallville will be my purchases.

Edited because Best Buy will have Smallville $5 cheaper so I'll get that there instead and just go after Potter.

If you bring a Target ad to a Best Buy store they will match the price.

If you bring a Target ad to a Best Buy store they will match the price.
Actually, they will only match a "local retail competitor".

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/Bestbuy.com-Price-Match-Guarantee/pcmcat204400050011.c?id=pcmcat204400050011

What is considered a local retail competitor?
A local retail competitor for retail store purchases is a retail store located in the same market area (within a 25 mile radius) of your local Best Buy store.

The closest Target to his Best Buy appears to be about 40 miles away:

I kind of figured there would be some Best Buy policy that would prevent me from price matching. Thanks anyways for the help.

Amazon is pretty good at matching the major retailers, and if you want both you'll be able to get free shipping too.

JohnIan
12-22-11, 11:23 PM
Is that price correct on the Harry Potter 8-Film Collection? $14.99???

Looking at the ad again...

Vocalhouse is correct, this is "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Part 2" that's $14.99.

The image is obscured by the "only at Target" banner, covering the name of the release. And the cover looks very much like "The Complete 8-Film Collection".

Fixed.

Might have to pick up season 7 of HOUSE. My least favorite season, but nonetheless, if its ending after this eighth season, there's no reason NOT to complete the series!

I've been waiting for Gossip Girl S4 to drop in price. I'm setting the alarm for early Monday morning.

Parenthood S2 @ 9.99 is a steal. They had the same deal last year on S1, but S2 has about 9-10 more episodes, making it a far sweeter deal. Great show - it will be hard to resist it at that price. The lowest I've seen it elsewhere was 19.99 at BB a month or so ago.

Target hasn't updated their website yet. It still reads, "prices good Dec 18 - Dec 24".

I'll try again later this evening or such.

Night all, have a pleasant Christmas.

Went to Target yesterday, they had Battle: Los Angeles for $6.49, also saw the 3-Disc SE of The Walking Dead for $14.99 (pissed me off, that's what I paid for the initial release, had I known they were going to re-release it as an SE for this cheap I would've waited, I won't double dip). -kd5-

Will that Parks and Rec S3 price be the same instore?

Yes, I picked up Parks and Rec S3 for $9.99 instore. Was not tagged on the shelf, but did scan for $9.99 at the price checker and at the cash register.

In addition, for those who have the ABC $10 off coupon, another non-ad ABC television set on sale:

Body of Proof S1 is $9.99 on sale - $10 ABC coupon = Free

Eligible $10 coupon ABC television DVD sets in weekly ad:

Castle S3 is $14.99 on sale - $10 ABC coupon = $4.99

Grey's Anatomy S7 is $19.99 on sale - $10 ABC coupon = $9.99


P.S. bought the Body of proof set and there was a $10 ABC coupon inside. (YMMV when it comes to these coupons as to which sets have them)

True Blood season 3 $14.99

30 Rock season 5 $19.99 (Unadvertised sale)


I also noticed that Criminal Minds season 6 was also $19.99 as an unadvertised sale, but I already picked that up at Best Buy for $24.99 and I don't feel like doing a swap/exchange for just $5

This is a blind buy for me - don't have cable.

Picked up "The Borgias: The First Season" with bonus disc. As it turns out the DVD has zero extras. I don't consider bonus episodes of "House Of Lies", "Dexter" and "Episodes" extras. I would prefer them NOT to be there and give me a lower price on the season set. Plus this thing has additional so called extras; more bonus shows, "Dexter", "Gigolos" and "Californication" - plus one TRUE extra, a featurette "Casting Of Ceasre". Here's the thing, not on disc, internet through E-Bridge, PC only. Just fraken grand.

So I'm glad that Target has this bonus disc, 45 minutes of featurettes and interviews.

Got my Gossip Girl S4 for $14.99 first thing Monday morning. :banana: Was the only one in the DVD department. The other people in line at the door all went straight to the seasonal department for their 50% off Christmas wrap and such.

Also picked up Castle S3 for $14.99. The one I got for $19.99 in November is going back.

Gee, the Borgias sounds interesting. I read the manga of their story ("Cantarella") earlier this year; of course, the company publishing the English editions of the Japanese manga went out of business before they finished publishing all the volumes, so I might never know how it ends... :(

Pretty much all the Showtime series have zero extras on the disc and are only available through e-bridge/DVD Rom. Dexter being the prime example.

Thanks for the headsup on the Borgias bonus disc extras. Those look like pretty decent extras. Although I believe some of them were probably pulled from the Showtime website.

Raising Hope Season 1 $9.99 (unadvertised)

Mike and Molly Season 1 $14.99
Dexter Season 5 $14.99
True Blood Season 3 $14.99
House Season 7 $14.99
Good Wife Season 2 $19.99

House and True Blood are early birthday gifts. Was hoping to pick up Walking Dead and Gossip Girl as gifts as well but they were sold out. She needs Season 3 of Gossip Girl as well so maybe there will be another sale soon on both seasons.
