Re: Best Buy Upgrade & Save, Jan 8 - Jan 28, 2012

Went back yesterday and picked up:

Kill Bill Vol. 1 - $4.99
Kill Bill Vol. 2 - $4.99
Moon - $4.99
Watchmen - $4.99 (for a co-worker)

I should be receiving a couple of RZ certs around the 20th, so I may go back for The Big Lebowski and Annie Hall/Manhattan (depending on the price) next week. Other than that, I'm done.

For anyone who doesn't know, this is what the actual retail DVD looks like
I could imagine something like this raising a few eyebrows at the store.

They didn't even open and check all of mine. A couple from the first batch, yes, but the second time I went they didn't even open the cases. (All had the original discs inside).

Seen this yesterday, went in this morning and grabbed it with my upgrade coupon for $14.99+tax. The clerk even commented, saying that's a great price for 3D, blu-ray, and the DVD.

Thanks to this thread, I made a special trip to pick up Kung Fu Panda 2 3D for $14.99, but I picked up a few more, I was surprised at the $9.99 selection. I did have a problem with Stripes ringing up at $9.75 and Mortal Kombat at $7.99 although both were showing shelf price of $9.99. I put MK back but they applied the $5 towards Stripes with manager help.

Slim pickins at the store I just went to. I got Kung Fu Panda 2 3D and Truman Show, but my 3rd title (Splice) was apparently on sale for $7.99, so I only got two. But I traded in 3 titles, and they gave me the coupon/receipt to use it later. This was the first time out of 4 trips where I actually received a trade-in receipt. All of the other times they processed everything in one transaction. Oh, and I traded in another Scream Fest Sampler DVD, and bought 3 of the penny Game of Thrones discs for attempted trade-in later.

Stopped in today to use a couple coupons I had left over from my last trade-in and picked up Billy Elliot (12.99-5.00-3.00 Universal coupon=$4.99) and Hanna. Hanna was $14.99 online but $19.99 in store. The cashier was nice enough to look up the online price and price-matched it for me, so I was able to get it for $9.99. Turns out that it was a Best Buy exclusive version of Hanna which included the DVD version of the film, so that made me happy.

If anyone has a list of titles that normally sell for $9.99, let me know. Might drop by there later this week after I take twice my recommended anti-depressants.

go to the site, then go to blu-rays, then pick price 5.99 to 9.99 and then set to list from high to low. There, you have all the 9.99 ones first :P

I tried to get Boys N The Hood today and it also rang up at 9.75 and they wouldn't adjust it. They told me that it was impossible to do which I knew wasn't true because another cashier at a different BB did it for me on Stripes. I didn't feel like arguing so I bought my other movies and left.

Re: Best Buy Upgrade & Save, Jan 8 - Jan 28, 2012

These kinds of trade and save deals cause me to buy movies that I probably wouldn't have purchased otherwise because they're so cheap.

So, far I've picked up:

American Beauty $4.99
Italian Job $4.99
Dumb and Dumber $4.99
Memento $4.99
Insomnia $4.99
American Gangster $4.99
Cape Fear $4.99
Something About Mary $4.99
The Crow $4.99
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena $19.99

It's nice finally getting rid of some the old DVDs that I have in my collection...

Re: Best Buy Upgrade & Save, Jan 8 - Jan 28, 2012

So I am assuming manufacturer's coupons will work in combination with the Trade and Save? If so, coupons.com has a few $3.00 coupons off the following 20th Century Fox movies (if you go through Swagbucks or Mypoints you can snag some points for your account as well):

Some Like It Hot
Independence Day
The Last of the Mohicans
The Usual Suspects
Abduction
Slumdog Millionaire
Walk the Line
Crazy Heart

BB's prices weren't as good as a lot of Amazon's, but with the T & S and these coupons, it's a lot better. Anyone had a problem adding manufacturer's coupons to the mix?

Just stopped by Dollar Tree and they had plenty of DVDs which I bought to trade in. They ranged in price from 25 cents to a Dollar each.

Plenty of the Christian thin case DVDs were selling for 50 cents each.

Great for the upgrade and save.

Picked up Snatch and Wanted (BR/DVD/Digital Copy) for $4.99 each today.

I'm still waiting for my local store to get more stock back in. Was only able to use a few of the coupons I got on my first visit trading stuff in, as they hardly had anything in I was looking for. It didn't look like they had gotten much back in this trip, either, but neither of the ones I picked up where there on my last visit a few days before. Hoping to be able to get The Incredible Hulk for $4.99 before this is all over.
