The problem I have with Dollar General and movies for blu ray is that I think they order way too much of Taken 1 and Taken 2 where they just clog up the spinner rack. That and Joyful Noise.

Whos the target audience anyway for a movie like Joyful Noise?

When mine rang up yesterday, my 4 titles rang up at $2.48 each. I was about to question it and then when the cashier pushed total and the total was 4.95 with tax.

Did you guys cancel before or after they pushed total?

I'm asking as there is one more location I plan to visit tomorrow and don't want to waste the trip if things changed since my purchase yesterday?

I bought 2 blu's at each location today. There was no second discount at total. There was yesterday.

I went to the Dollar General store earlier today not to buy a movie, but just a 20 ounce bottle of Coke.

I have will power, folks.

Ive bought enough moneys since October anyway.

I lost count of how many horror movies I bought in October.

6 or 7 movies for blu from this year's short BOGO sale is enough for me. Time to take a break from going to the Dollar General store back and forth nearly every day.

Bust. Didn't have as much free time on Tuesday as expected and hit only about 10 stores total. Of the disks that caught my eye, they were typically either

1) stuff I already owned
2) "previously viewed" (and my backlog is already too great)
3) the wrong price point

I did buy Taps and Sideways...for $2.95 each, and may go back for Killing Bono and a David Byrne concert (same price), but that's it.

BTW, has anybody noticed these:


That yellow banner is NOT a sticker. I guess this is the packaging some studios now ship to Red Box?

My driving eventually took me to a shopping center where I thought there was a Dollar General, but instead was a Dollar Tree. I wandered inside the Big Lots next door and feasted on an untouched stash of 3D films from their recent buy.

Didn't realize until today that the only Dollar General in my County closed a few months back.

Credit goes to Rumble Bee (initial post) & bayoozen (verification) on bluray.com for posting that DG has their Movies U Buy BDs & DVDs for 50 % off!

Initial thinking is that this sale is just for this week so it’s off to the races for me.

isn't this the sale that has resulted in 75%+ off in the past?

I believe so. It was when bought in pairs it somehow was B1G1Free but was already 50% off.

YES! That's what it was.
i didn't find any that would work at the time, but hey...lol

I dont get blu ray really unless real cheap and combo with a dvd by chance. untill get a br player i just stick with dvd for now. but have tried to cut back my trips to place for movies any unless i see reason to get anything. just gotta hope black friday they got some good stuff worthy at right price to get any later. i try to hold off but it feels like an addiction in a good way lol.

Now through 11/30/2019 Dollar General has buy one get one free on $4.95 titles from Movies U Buy.
As always selection varies greatly from store to store.
I picked up the following titles on Blu-Ray: Dirty Harry/Magnum Force, Coma (1978), Battle of the Bulge (1965), Fort Apache (1948), Manchurian Candidate (1962) and Big Trail (1930, early feature shoot in 65MM in a 2.1:1 aspect ratio).

opps--the BOGO sale on $4.95 titles was only through 11/27. tried to buy more titles today and the store manager explained that the tags sent to all the stores had incorrect dates (to 11/30), and they had to run around the store and pull all the incorrect tags.

That is why it caused chaos today when I tried to get them to ring up correctly. Took a manager override, had no idea.

I went to the Dollar General store earlier today to look for christmas chocolates or candy mostly. I did go check out to see if there were anything new for what they had in stock for movies. Heres what they have now that i noticed

DVD
Land of the Dead
Bullet to the Head with some other movie in those two in one movies for DVD
Christmas Story 2
new Patrick horror remake
Bad Boys 1 and II double movie two in one collection

blu ray. bunch of good decent stuff
-Hangover II
-Hangover III
-Hangover 1 and II double pack
Magic Mike XXX
-the old Clint Eastwood Beguiled movie
leftover horror movie stuff from Halloween: Apparition, 1970s Invasion of the Body Snatchers,

I found a Blu-ray copy of A Christmas Story 2 today for the same price they were selling the DVD for (3.95). I've also found a bunch of $1 horror movies on DVD over the last couple weeks (including several Full Moon titles... some, arguably, not even worth the $1). I had to dig for all these. Both stores in town had displays 3-layers deep (not to mention all the stuff you have to fight because the dvd's are always obstructed).

My nearest DG just got a ton of Universal product all of a sudden (You know things are different once you spot something like The Incredible Shrinking Woman there) Ended up getting a WB Christmas 4-pack though.

I wonder since i got a blu ray at walmart for 5 if that like a sale price cause holidays or the new reg price since they got a bin in front filled with br lol. i know this a dollar general column or section but since it pertains to blu rays, i thought was ok to ask or wonder any. i think last i saw br was like 7 or close at walmart while back, but guessing they getting cheaper or just cause holiday sale since no sign on area where they supposed to put price lol. i guess they being lazy so make u ask for price check or run to a scanner to double check any lol.

I went to the dollar general store just a few minutes ago and bought these movies

Dollman and Demonic Toys collection for DVD that was just a dollar

Transcendence for blu ray. That sci fi movie with Johnny Depp where its sort of like Lawnmower Man or whatever. Never seen it but been trying to hunt the movie but its never in any other stores until just recently at dollar general store

Transcendence is merely okay. As you said, basically Lawnmower Man updated for today.

Grabbed Transcendence from Dollar Tree for $1 during the last batch that was available before Thanksgiving and it still had the code inside for the digital copy. For an okay movies it was a descent spend.

​​​​

some Full Moon movies were a nice surprise to buy from the Dollar general store such as the Dollman and Demonic Toys Collection for DVD for just a buck along with Gingerdead Man which sounds insane to me. Gingerdead Man is basically Full Moon's version of Jack Frost

The nearest DG used to stock Full Moon stuff regularly. They had a "Slashers" 3-pack with Delta Delta Die (Which I ended up getting) and I'll never forget the sight of the huge Trancers box-set in the racks. It's just too bad Full Moon doesn't ship their "Grindhouse" titles to DGs.

Found The Forest (Blu-Ray + Digital HD) at our local Dollar General, debating on whether to keep it or return it, reviews everywhere are generally unfavorable and I don't need any more deadweight in my collection...
