Combine Prime Pantry credit with the free shipping items for basically free food. You can't use free food?

I forget what they are right now, but when I considered the pantry credit, -which they always offer me instead of the video credit (which I'd take in a heartbeat), -I found that the restrictions and their pricing made it a non-starter for me.

Plus the expiration date for the credit is way too soon. Pretty useless credit, IMO.

That was my experience as well. I did manage to put together an order with staples, such as rice, but I ended up with several years supply. Most of the free shipping items were junk food of no interest to me. I think Prime Pantry would make more sense for large families. Just doesn't work for me.

Again matching Walmart's increased "pickup discount" of $3.71. I find it interesting that Walmart is holding the price steady at $13.98 and adjusting the pickup discount.

I don't think it works there either. Their prices are typically higher, frequently much higher, than what I pay locally for the same products/sizes. On occasion I find a "deal" or can break even if there are enough items I want/need that will trigger the free shipping credit. I looked yesterday and didn't find enough to bother with. Like you, I've either stocked up enough for quite a while or it's junk food I don't want. I have $20 in credits that expire in 4-5 weeks. It's unlikely I'll find enough to use 1 credit ($5 - and why don't they just let them stack?), much less all 4, in that time.

Based on this post in the WM Bargains thread it sounds like they're doing that to prevent giving a price adjustment to those who purchase it from WM.

Following-up. The first time I approached Walmart for a price adjustment, they did it without question. After the second price drop, the new rep said they don't include the pickup discount in the calculation, meaning they only refund for changes in the base price. So I may try later with another rep, or else it might pay to leave higher-price items in the shrinkwrap in case you want to return and repurchase. Grrr, there's always a catch.

Interestingly, I'm not getting any slow-shipping option today. I know it used to be seasonal, but it's been constant for so long (for digital, Pantry, or otherwise) that it seems weird to not have anything there.

The Accountant is $9.99 for PRIME members.

I had something similar happen on a pre order (which may have been prime members only). I still had the slow shipping option but without any perk.

That's interesting and makes sense.

The Walmart pickup discount has increased to $3.92, so $10.06 for Ladyhawke.

That's sort of what I've been complaining about, I don't get an option; on several in stock orders this year the original shipping date was a month in the future! When I called it got fixed; but it took 2-4 calls per order & some promised follow up never occurred.

Venture Bros Season Six $15.11 (I think that's the magic $15 I was looking for)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IWFPHI4

Some other notables:
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 4k (I bought it at $17ish about six months ago and it was well worth it) $13.91
https://www.amazon.com/Crouching-Tig...dp/B01E010SY2/

Ladyhawke is now $9.86 https://www.amazon.com/Ladyhawke-Blu.../dp/B00W81K9C8
(I have the UK version so I'm good but that's an awesome price)

and finally Yojimbo/Sanjuro is $27.98 (a full three bucks from when I ordered it)
https://www.amazon.com/Yojimbo-Sanju...dp/B003152Z4U/

Wow, didnt realize a WAC title could go sub $10. Thanks for the update

I think many of the Warner Archive discs would sell more copies with retail support, but they have been relegated strictly to online outlets.

Ladyhawke is one of those movies that would sell a lot more copies if carried at Walmart.

What I want to know is why are there still so many Warner owned titles that are unavailable on blu-ray in spite of the archive collection, BD-R releases, standard retail etc??? Like half the good Steven Seagal movies that I'm still stuck with double-sided DVDs of (Fire Down Below, On Deadly Ground, Glimmer Man). Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw 3. They're probably sitting on movies like No Escape and The Getaway (1994) too. The goddamn Getaway was on HD-DVD, but we still can't get a blu-ray of it? Tell me that's not ridiculous.

It's a good question.

Answer is their beliefs regarding what will make dollars. In the 21st century (really since the late 70's) dollars is all that matters to the giant multi media corporations.

The remake of "The Getaway" was Universal.

Warner apparently owns the rights in Europe, for whatever reason. I thought I heard something about them acquiring it in the US as well.
