Best B&M price for HP #5??

Was just wondering what the best B&M price you've found for Potter #5? I know Target has it advertised for $16.88 but expect others (Walmart) to try and beat that. What have you found??

Target's price is the best I've seen ... I guess it depends if you have a target in your local competitive market. I don't, so I assume it the book will be more expensive at my local Walmart. It looks like the standard for this book (which only the big chains can really afford) is a 40% markdown ... or 17.xx.

B&N is 40% off, unless you have one of their Reader's Advantage cards, then its 50%.

Mainly for Brits

Some B&M shops in the UK seem to be discounting.

I've noticed one locally (Hammick's/Ottakar's) that has advertised it for £9-99 (UKP) for the first week only.

I think WH Smith's were quoting £11-99 and I can imagine that the supermarkets will be highly competitive: Tesco had it on the web half-price so one can imagine that they and Asda will be head-to-head this weekend!

That's not exactly true. It's 40% off, then an additional 10% off, to make it approximately 46% off. I happen to have a coupon (received in the mail from BN) for another 10% off, so I'll end up getting mine for $14.58 for a total of approximately 51.5% off.

Are any stores offering a cardboard slipcase for all five books. I think B&N did last time with book 4. Thanks for the info.
