Let's see....

0.90 * 0.85 = 0.765 = a 23.5% discount.

I finally got to use high school math in "real life!!!"

Batman Animated S1 24.47
Day of the Dead 14.44
Punk'd S2 17.99
Creepshow 2 8.49

Thank you DVD Talkers....This thread convinced me that I should haul ass and it paid off

Yes, but the problem is that it also does that to the ones that should be included in the 2 for $15 sale. I bought 2 DVD's that should have been $7.50 each, but was charged $8.49. I bought other items, so I didn't notice until I got home...

I stopped in the Richfield MN BB this evening just before closing to pick up The Day After Tomorrow, and one of the drones gave me a coupon for $2 any media purchase, so I only paid $13.99 + tax.

Maybe you can tell them to scan a DVD that you might know the price of.

I guess it's too late now, but I did just that. I asked someone who had no idea about a sale so I picked up a copy of the nearest DVD, Ocean's 11, and we took it to a register. Instead of the $14.99 it was marked, it scanned at $9.99.

That didn't look right, so I grabbed one of the junkers they keep by the registers and its $9.99 scanned at $9.99. So I figured it was dead (if ever alive at my store). I did try checking out with a Sledge Hammer set just in case and it rang up full price so I left it.
