Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Stores all over the Hoosier state have been taking an extra 11% off all purchases for the last several weeks. Anyone else experiencing this?
I used a pair of $5 off coupons to cover the cost of the first season of A Football LIfe on DVD. I'd never heard of the show put out by the NFL Network back in 2011. It's also the first time I've seen it on a shelf. It was priced at $6.99 |
Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Only extra discounts here other than the sale discounts are the $5 off $15 coupon you get for making a donation to their charity and the usual coupons you get for making multiple purchases. I recently stacked enough of those to get ~50% off a larger purchase. Totally impressed the checker (she'd never seen me come through before - most of them know I'm a regular and do that fairly frequently).
The store here has had a fairly decent stock of media lately (2 waterfalls) but nothing new, or at least nothing I "need." Blue Planet 2 and Black Sails - Complete Series on BR are ones that stood out but I own both already - don't remember the prices but they are decent and lower than Amazon. That stock also seems to be moving very, very slowly. The newer store in a neighboring town (~20 miles away) has very little media (would fill half a waterfall) and it's kind of stuck off on a shelf in a corner near the food area. |
Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Store that's shutting down near me is not discounting parts of their stock. There was no sign about a discount on films.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Went to the other store left in Tacoma yesterday with a 20% coupon. No box fans (in August??), no food I wanted, & no films I wanted (less than 3/4 of a metal fixture. And this was one of the superstores..... No wonder they're going out of business.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Both Big Lots stores in my area are on the list of closing stores.
One of them just opened up in September of 2022 :( |

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
They seem to be closing down locations that aren't working. The two locations I see closing down which I have some familiarity with were newish locations that I never saw busy even on weekends. Only 4-5 years old if I'm remembering correctly.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
They're closing most of the Wa state stores. They've really had little (almost no movies) that have interested me in a long time.
|
Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Remember the $1-$3 Black Friday box sets from a few years back?
|
Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
BL announced 12 more closings in Wa state today, including the most subjectively busy store near me. I'm going to have 1 BL within reasonable driving distance (15-20 miles).
I expect Bankruptcy soon. Wonder if $ Store will get the media or.........? |
Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
I doubt Dollar Tree ever gets in more media.

DT has gotten rid of media

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
My local Dollartwentyfive Tree has had the same DVD's sitting there for the past two years. If they couldn't sell them when they were $1.00, I doubt anyone will grab them now at $1.25. I do wish they'd get BluRay's or CD's again, but I doubt that'll happen. Sad sign of the times.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Big Lots filed for bankruptcy this morning.
Big Lots files for bankruptcy protection, sells to private equity firm as it promises to keep offering 'extreme bargains' (msn.com) |
Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
I suspect they are merely extending their lifespan a few months. The chain just doesn't have a reason for being anymore and they fill no useful niche. The transition from an overstock store to a poor man's Target was poor planning.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
The studios probably aren’t producing that many excess discs now anyways, so they won’t be getting many more in. The party’s over. I’m out of shelf space anyways.
|
Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
The last store in my city is closing. It's a BL "superstore", which makes it a bit of a surprise. They apparently closed the next city over (Puyallup) in the last batch.
|
Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
The two Big Lots stores in my area have officially closed :(

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
The chain is hearing its death rattle.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
Got an eblast from Big Lots today with a ‘$10 off $20 or more’ coupon which is certainly more generous than their usual offerings. Presumably it will help them clear out a lot of stuff from the remaining stores. Doubt I’ll be in the U.S. to use it, but one never knows (and the Michigan store I visit does have a minor selection of movies).

I guess because all the local stores are closed or closing, I'm no longer getting those.

Re: Big Lots Blu-rays
I visited my closest Big Lots yesterday to look for other things and decided to take a look at media. Very few Blu's and a bit more DVD's.
I haven't seen the store on any list of closures but their stock levels on about everything, except some new seasonal Christmas "stuff" was very low. |
