Thanks for the info! I've used this sale in the post for pretty good deals on Disney and Pokemon dvds for my son.

Dont forget the 'buy 3, get 4th free ($1.99 for shipping) via mail'. This offer is for Disney titles only. I found the 'slips' at my local Albertsons, but I am assuming its a national campaign.

So with these offers combined your getting four (4) Disney titles for the price of two (2), cant beat that.

FYE employees get 30% plus the rebate. Not a bad deal there.

BB PM'd it last time TRU had this. I had no ad so they called the store (in the same plaza) then gave me the same deal. Since TRU's stock basically sucked I got a few nice titles at BB.

This offer is not good on pre-orders - only in-store stock

I found "Innerspace"(Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan) and "The Dish" (Sam Neil) for $9.99 each. Good candidates for buy 2 get the 3rd free.

When it comes to PM'ing YMMV. I brought the ad to best buy when TRU and this sale a few months ago and they told me they would pricematch only the titles shown on the ad. Despite that the ad clearly stated "Entire stock of DVDs and VHS", they wouldn't let me pricematch for Roswell S1, Mr.show volume 2, and freaks and geeks. I guess I was a little greedy.

I did this last time and got three box sets only had to pay for 2 they called TRU and asked if it was box sets and they said yes got CYE Simpsons season 4 and Chappelles show vol. 1. Good time good times.

Also, Toys-R-Us had a $5 off any purchase of $25+ in Friday's paper.

Wife got three of Disney's titles 'Lion King 2, Oliver and Co., and Home on Range for $35. I'm going to mail-in for the freebie 'Rescuers'.

This was a sweet Disney Deal.

Official store policy says that Wal-Mart will not honor, buy X get X free deals, but YMMV.

Is this in print someplace? I want to walk the ad into BB, not have to go the BB dumbass phone the competition thing. I am always concerned another dumbass employee at TRU will screw up the answer.

well neither Best Buy nor Circuit City are supposed to honor, Buy X Get X for free deals. They're only supposed to PM prices where it shows the actual price of the item.

So, it might not work whereever you go. It's a YMMV everywhere.

It worked in this same BB last time TRU had this sale but they did the phone thing. Would have been easier if I had the thing in an ad.

I also would like to see a scan. I checked the Seattle PI and USA Today for Friday and the weekend but didn't see the coupon. Was it an insert or part of the newspaper itself?
