Re: Dollar Tree DVDs
Sorry for the super late response! It's a group on Facebook like "Southern St. Clair County Buy/Sell/Swap." The real purpose is to sell your stuff without a yard sale though some actually do request to buy things and even more rarely - trade them.

Re: Dollar Tree DVDs
I called the one store I know is always "on time" with the Friday specials. They said this week is Hardcover Books. Here's hoping for next week!

Re: Dollar Tree DVDs
This week ranged from hangers to Rice Krispie treats. I called 5 stores total but none said there were DVDs. One employee even told me she didn't know what I meant by the special item of the week...

I found anautographed copy of Diane Keaton's memoir LET'S JUST SAY IT WASN'T PRETTY at Big Lots - I would imagine she's a tough autograph to get outside of a book signing.

Re: Dollar Tree DVDs
It's on! Sorry, but I'm too exhausted to post details. 3/6 of the stores I visited stocked the DVDs as mandated by corporate, the rest are lazy fools (according to the manager of the 5th store I visited.) I know my local store won't bother until at least Monday.

Re: Dollar Tree DVDs
I'll post a full list once I've had time to put them all in some sort of order. I did pick up several BluRays that promised digital copies. I'll donate those discs since I have no way to play them. I watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty just now - wow. I listened to the super-short audio book and thought it would have to be terrible. I'm very glad to have assumed wrong.
In other not-fun-news. I left my 2nd of 2 stores this morning and was trapped in their parking lot for 3 hours. My Jeep decided that its battery terminals were too corroded to start the vehicle or even take enough charge from a jump. I think that was my sign to be done with this sale now. I have to have bought over 100 DVDs, included many pre-owned (2 damaged enough to get flagged for future repairs.)

Not the best of sales, inventory-wise.
Went to three stores; only two had them out.
Picked up...
Jesse
Family Weekend
Echoes Of War
Prince Avalanche
Wet Bum
For cases, three copies of "Oceans 11" in full screen.
In the past I would take home, easy fifteen or more - from one store.
Mine was engine troubles at the parking lot of Best Buy... hunting an exclusive. Ended up having to be towed. Some years back.

Re: Dollar Tree DVDs
I'd say that the sales I encountered included too many of those resale discs. (Bad condition, skipped doctored, etc.) I'm much happier buying brand new Magnolia Discs. I even watch them! I hope I gain your level of self control one day.
As for my evil Jeep - we now have new battery terminals (hubby's first time changing them as I refused to cut things that looked so permanent.) That vehicle is now rotting in our driveway and won't be started again until next Wednesday. It it doesn't start, I get a vacation day. :P

Re: Dollar Tree DVDs
My sympathies on the car trouble.
I've been too busy to go out hunting much, but did pick up Take Me Home Tonight & Nobody Walks, neither of which I've seen. It did seem like each store got one each of some higher profile movies, like A Few Good Men, but nothing I needed. Generally there were a few titles I already own, or own from previous sales, which I would've bought otherwise, but a lot that I just didn't need.

Re: Dollar Tree DVDs
Yesterday, another store.
Took home seven more; mostly copies of "Oceans 11" and "Echoes Of War" for cases. Always need good case. And Black Friday is coming.
Also picked up:
Nobody Walks
The Whole Shebang
My local store still hasn't received their lot. I'll try again on Thursday.

Re: Dollar Tree DVDs
The DT near me just broke out 2 boxes- same old stuff like "Walter Mitty"; "Shark Night", etc. along with one-off DVDs (picked up "Forces of Nature" & "Spiderman 2"... I wonder if this weekend it's their featured item?

Re: Dollar Tree DVDs
It is quiet on new DVD shipments at my DT store.
P.S. I don't want someone rolling their eyes in either disgust or amusement at my sugar enlightenment
