I'm around 50 titles in. I've spent WAAAAAAAAAAY more than I was anticipating. If there are any good deals for Cyber Monday week, I might not be able to pull the trigger.

I'm trying to justify my hauls by saying some are for February gifting occasions

i didnt do too much this year. I did get LotR trilogy for 9$ at walmart. i wanted to grab austin powers and ocean's but i was already spending too much of other none entertainment stuff i needed. But I did get a couple ps3 games, Dishonored for 25$ and Sports Champions 2 for 9.99 on amazon the day of thanksgiving. almost got Xmen first class, but i lost out of the opportunity for 7.88 or whatever on amazon.

I don't even want to know how much I spent. I've been awesome all year with not buying blu-rays. Probably got about five all year prior to this week...and then now suddenly I grabbed about 15...I need to take the time to watch them now! Some of it was bought in the days before Black Friday...but that's all the same to me.

Fringe: Season Four
Breaking Bad: Seasons 1 - 4
Frozen Planet

Wilfred: Season One

All stuff that's been sitting in my Amazon cart for months, in most cases.

Tried to show some restraint this year, not sure I was successful. However, I did just discover that due to an addition error I had overestimated my total by about $40. So I didn't spend as much as I originally thought.

That'sAllFolks

I tried to get this the day after you posted, but it was no longer on sale. I hope you bought something else for around $3 so you could get that $10 off next purchase promo.

kenbenobi

I'm too lazy to add up the financial numbers, but my haul of 72 titles this year is considerably less than my 88 titles last year. But many of my titles this year were box sets (Bond 50, Sherlock Holmes, Hitchcock, Universal Monsters, Lethal Weapon collection, and The Thin Man) so movie-wise, I guess I bought more... I'm just glad it's done. Now I need to stop looking for deals, and starting WATCHING what I own... Tonight I failed. I'm watching TV...

jacob_b

If anyone is having any remorse of buying items, feel free to PM me with what you have to sell. Black Friday sucked for me and only got a handful of deals and same with Cyber Monday. Just been way too busy to shop. Did get a few deals like WWE 12 for PS3, a Kindle Fire, Shutter Island, 21 Jump Street, Super 8, Avatar, Thor, and a few other titles. But I'd love to expand my collection if anyone has anything they just bought and now thinking they don't really need.

MooMooMooMoo

Yep, I ended up with 2 $10 coupons.

Superdaddy

Well, here's the final haul for me--everything purchased last week and the last two days. Stuff is starting to arrive; I got two packages yesterday and looks like around half a dozen more will arrive today.

Tracking shows that one of my orders got sent to the wrong local post office on Saturday; the updated delivery date was yesterday but so far nothing. Hope it shows up soon.

This year started slowly for me; I didn't buy anything until Wednesday but ultimately I think I made out pretty well.

I thought I remember you getting Bond 50 at CH? Double-dipping on a set?


Though my expenditures seem pretty high, I plan for this year all year long. Almost all my Amazon and Wal-mart purchases were made with credit. I still spent a lot. But selling off single seasons of complete sets and BD upgrades, some of that will be recouped. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

I considered getting other cheap blu-rays but some were movie only and I also resisted some others at Walmart figuring they will be cheap again.

kenbenobi

Good memory. Possible gift for a close friend. He's a Bond freak, but doesn't actually have a BD player yet. I just couldn't pass that deal up. I was so sad I paid $48 more from CH... I did sell off most of my individual Bond BD's which recouped over $100. I'm keeping the 2-disc Casino Royale cuz of the 2nd disc. I have 3 titles remaining, but 2 are sealed so may be easier to get rid of...

You got a lot of cheapies! Great $$$ average...

That'sAllFolks

Of course since it was a fulfillment, the prorated amount was closer to 120 (counting enrollments at 4.80, so it's not THAT bad).

I regret not pulling the trigger on this. I saw it early morning and was going to make my decision later in the day. Amazon puts stuff in the shipping stage so damn fast. Even if I had used an account in which I don't have PRIME, it would have shipped within an hour of placing the order. I have a few bonds on BD, all of them on DVD, but I've not watched about 2/3 of the franchise. Not a HUGE Bond fan, but do enjoy most of what I've seen. Of course I snoozed. If this set does not go OOP, then I'm sure a similar deal will come around again. Sony seems to deep discount their stuff all the time. I was hoping BBY would do the deal as well, but apart from the initial wave of discounts, BBY has been pretty quiet.

Since everyone who's posted in this thread has proven their ability to keep track of things and owns a substantial pile of unwatched BDs/DVDs, you should challenge yourself to actually watch what you bought.

You've probably skipped over the monthly unwatched pile threads, but I would encourage you to give it a shot--tracking your progress watching/buying on a monthly basis with the goal to work through those yet-to-see discs.

Here's December's thread: Link

Travis McClain

Late to the party, but I snagged:

Walmart
$3.96 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy
$3.96 Jennifer's Body Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy

I went mostly because the ad showed Die Another Day in their $3.96 assortment and I hoped that portended other Bond titles. Alas, the only other one was Goldfinger, which I already had.

I also hoped to find Brave on Blu-ray/DVD for my niece; it was advertised at $8.96. Those were long gone when I got there around 8:15 Thursday night but I discovered that their regular stock of the title in the electronics department also rang up at that price when I was there Friday night so I was able to snag that for her. I also bought her Flicka on DVD for $1.96 and Transformers: Dark of the Moon on DVD for $5 for my nephew.

EDIT TO ADD: When I purchased the gifts, I also treated myself to the CD single of Adele's "Skyfall" for $1.96.

Amazon
$14.96 Transformers: Dark of the Moon Limited 3D Edition
Also bought Johnny Cash's American Recordings and American III: Solitary Man CDs. Used $10.82 Amazon credit, paid $16 and change out of pocket for the whole order

Local Consignment Shop
I needed a tree skirt so I checked a local consignment shop, where I found one for $2. They also had White Christmas on DVD, with slipcover, for $2.25 after the 25% off sale.

Also, my birthday is 12/1 and on the way home I stopped by Walmart because I needed Tylenol. I found a stray copy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Triple Feature Blu-ray still showing up as a Black Friday promo for $9. I treated myself to that.

Despite reserving a first page post I just now finished collating my list.

So I thought I would do a post bump as well
