None of the new cheaper titles appeal to me, so I just ran to pick up Demolition Man since it is still $9.99 with my last coupon.

Went today. Took in 5 old dvds. I picked up the MI Ghost Protocol exclusive for $14.99, The Neverending Story for $4.99 and the Descendants and When Harry Met Sally for $1.99 each after the coupons.com coupons. Not bad for about $26 total after tax. I had no problem getting them to use the coupon.com coupons. I took them just in case. I probably would have bought the movies without them anyway.

I'm saving my last coupon for Underworld on Tuesday.

This is a fantastic deal! Not the greatest movie, but visually spectacular and scenes with James Garner talking to Toshiro Mifune. There's no beating that.

Had an anal clerk today. I was with him for 15 minutes; he finally stated he was reading every word of the promotion to see if my dvd's qualified. 15 minutes later, he finally took them. Grr.

As i posted elsewhere, this store had not posted ANY current sale pricing on the shelves (they were also really low stocked).

Did pick up 4 that came to $5 each (the checkout clerk was fine, thank goodness!):
Blow
Dancing With Wolves
Apollo 13
Clockwork Orange (second copy, I'll find some use for it......)

Still need to go back before Saturday & use the last coupon.

Welcome to the forum, MADMOD!
Grand Prix rang up 9.99 for me as well. The accepted my manu. coupon for Descendants as well, first time I ever tried it.

Something went wrong on the transaction. Paid 11.98 for both titles(should have been 6.98. I wonder if the coupon voided the bestbuy $5 off. I saw her enter in the trade and save and coupon. They may have to be scanned in a certain order? May email customer service and see what they say. Not overly concerned about it this time.

Got Apollo 13, Hellraiser 4-pack, and Couples Retreat (w/movie cash) for $4.99 each today. Couples Retreat rang up $12.99, and also had a shelf tag for $12.99, but both copies were stickered 9.99... Had to get a manager override...

Yesterday I found some fairly current TV sets on sale. Bones season 4 and 5 were there. The DVD price for season 5 was $17.99 while the Blu-ray price was $22.99. I ended up, after the trade-in, getting the Blu-ray set for the same price as the DVD. Good deal and good pricing for both. I forget what other series were on sale.

Saw some new titles that I don't think have been mentioned. They had all of the Austin Powers blu rays priced at $9.99 before coupon. They also had a new endcap with a $10 promo movie cash for Battleship, Snow White, and the Bourne Legacy(your choice). The movies I remembered were Backdraft, The Mummy movies, Jarhead, Green Zone, and several others. I purchased Backdraft for $10 after coupon with $10 movie cash so that's not a bad deal if you plan to go see one of these movies.

Stopped by again today, and scored 5 more:

The Descendants 1.99
Predator 4.99
A Clockwork Orange 4.99
Die Hard 4.99
The Ring 9.99

Thanks for pointing out The Descendants for so cheap. As far as I could tell, the cashier did the coupon.com coupon manually -- She didn't scan it, just typed in a bunch of stuff after scanning the dvds and U&S coupons. It says "coupon (MFG)" at the bottom of the receipt.

I've recently discovered where they keep the price scanners in the two local stores. Have been making good use of them, so I'll at least know for sure what I'm getting into before checking out.

Also, did anyone ever figure out what they do with the "upgrade" dvds? I can't remember. Someone was asking about it in the store today, and the girl just said that they're "recycled".

Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet but the 3D versions of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movies are only $9.99 after the coupon. Rarely see 3d movies that cheap.

My picks of the day:
The Descendants - $1.99 AC
Madagascar - $6.99 (incl $8 Movie Cash)
Madagascar 2 - $6.99 (incl $8 Movie Cash)
Fast Times at Ridgemont High - $4.99 (incl $10 Movie Cash--and yes, it is still playing here)

Handed the clerk a coupon for 5 titles, but I only had 4. She had no idea what to do. So she just gave it back to me, without marking anything off. So I guess I can still use it for 5 titles. But I already have another slip for 5 titles I already traded in. No way I'm gonna use 10 before it expires... I'll let my friends take a crack at using em. I am thinking of getting a few 3D titles though. Megamind and HTTYD are both on sale for $22.99, so $17.99 AC. But I have a feeling those will be on sale for even less come Black Friday... Last year BB really blew out their 3D titles for cheap...

I saw this today as well. The two original Conan movies are also part of it. Unfortunately, they RAISED the price on these to $14.99. Most of the titles with that movie cash were $14.99 before coupon. The Scorpion King movies and Sanctum were 3 other titles I can think of...

I had one coupon left from the last batch so today I tried to buy Apollo but the straight to the rules rep decided that " I'm doing it the right way." as he said.
I didn't have the receipt with me, just the coupon. I pointed out that I haven't had to show the receipt during one of the two dozen or so of these I bought That's when he offered his do it the right way response.

Picked up today:

Valkyrie $5
Fast Times at Ridgemont High $2.23 (rang up at $9.99 used U+S coupon + Universal 100th anniversary $3.00 off coupon)
The Descendants $2.23

Might consider going back to pick up a few more as well. Is Apollo 13 worth a blind buy?

It appears to be back up to $24.99. Mine has a sticker on it that says $10.99, though. I have the Blu-ray/DVD combo with the lenticular cover.
