Ridiculously Cheap DVD sets @ Target YMMV
 
Found these at the Target in Belton, MO. I bought a ton of Dvd's and when I went back to get more, the signs were down for clearance. I'm posting a receipt scan just in case you all can get the same deal at your store. I'll have to get my mom's receipt but she also got Friends seasons 1-9 and Sex in the City sets 1-6 all for 5.99 too.

Yet again..... YMMV, or ability to persuade.

Oh, you might want to get a permanent host for the image too... all I could find.

OC: 5.99
Band Of Brothers: 5.99
Looney Tunes Season 1 & 2: 5.99
Macgyver Seasons 1 & 2: 5.99
Jaws 30th Anniversary: 5.99

Receipt Scan

:eek:

None of these things happen at my local Target - about the only time I go is to investigate things like this. But I'll be sure to stop while I make the rounds tomorrow.

OP - how exactly were they marked? Regular prices listed, display signs, etc..?

JoN8282 08-08-05 04:23 PM

anyone have any prior experience getting target to match a "photocopy" of a reciept like this?

if there is even a minor chance of it happening... i am so going to target... after target, and target again lol...

jiggyblau 08-08-05 04:33 PM

Wow. Not likely to find these prices at many other Targets. And Jon, I highly doubt you'll get any Target manager to match the receipt. They are pretty strict when it comes to stuff like that. I still can't believe those prices though, especially on Band of Brothers, what a deal.

metalfan 08-08-05 04:34 PM

Would you be interested in parting with the Sex and the City or Band of Brothers sets?

Big Worms 08-08-05 04:41 PM

Amazing prices. It sounds like it is an error in that one store. But I will look at my store tonight.

jlm71176 08-08-05 04:45 PM

These prices were almost put up at the store I work at too, but we got word that it was a mistake. Corporate is aware of it and many of the sets were already scanning back at their regular price by the time I left work.

justbarelymovin 08-08-05 04:47 PM

Wow, what the heck. Maybe I'll make a run to Target to check, but I doubt I'll find anything. Is this a new Target?

Jtnguyen12 08-08-05 04:54 PM

My local target no longer carry any items in the receipt :(

Mr. Cinema 08-08-05 04:58 PM

I'm gonna take a guess and say that store in MO is the only one in the universe that had those for that price.

chamfer 08-08-05 05:48 PM

WOW all i can say is WOW.

bballing 08-08-05 06:25 PM

Im off to Target.

Mhepburn20 08-08-05 06:33 PM

So as soon as I read another poster got the deal I drove to the nearest target. It must be fixed at this point because the price checker gave me the correct prices (marked prices) on Band of Brother, Looney Tunes 1 and 2, Friends, and the OC. This is at the Target store on Victory and Vineland and then I checked the Burbank target and had the same amount of no luck.

Same for me in Gainesville, Fl. At about 7:15 pm, I price checked Band of Brothers, OC, Friends, Jaws, and Sex and the City. All came up as marked. Oh well. good find, O.P. Wish i read this post earlier. Damn studying for the MPRE!

JackBurton 08-08-05 07:11 PM

No dice in Ft. Lauderdale either.

Sabrett 08-08-05 07:15 PM

They were $5.99 at my Target. I got:

Band of Brothers $5.99
One Tree Hill $5.99

Others that scanned as $5.99
The OC
Gilmore Girls
Sex and the City
Friends
Jaws 30th Anniversary


It looks like it's mostly WB and HBO stuff

and at what time did you go?

BTW all these that apparantly rang up at one price, except Jaws, are all on the same rack (always have been)

New Rambler 08-08-05 07:25 PM

Crap. Now I gotta run out and see!!

sulmona 08-08-05 07:26 PM

for those who have gotten them, is this at supertarget or normal target stores, and are they new stores or older ones?

chamfer 08-08-05 07:32 PM

Normal target and it's not new.

Kocheese99 08-08-05 07:49 PM

no go at a normal target in Kenosha, WI. Tore myself away from a pitcher of margaritas, eh would have been worth it.

Damed 08-08-05 07:52 PM

Damn, anyone want to hook a Canadian brother up? No Target stores in Canada :(


Looking for a Band of Brothers set and Looney Tunes 1 & 2

Y2J850 08-08-05 07:52 PM

I just got back from the Target in Houston Tx on 290, I was hopin for Band of Brothers and The oc. But they didn't scan 5.99. But I did get Looney Tunes collection Vol 1 and 2 and Batman the animated series Vol 3 for 5.99.I scanned almost every tv show dvd but thats all that rang up at 5.99. And luckily for my mother I found 8 seasons of Little House on the Prarie and they all rang up 5.99. I also went to the other Target near by on 529, but none of the 5.99 shows rang up. Thanks OP great find good luck to all.

Brooklyn, NY...and I went at around 7:00pm, and it's Target Greatland

kyle 08-08-05 07:56 PM

Tried Band of Brothers, Jaws and Macgyvers in Nashua, NH around 7:45pm--no such luck.

metalfan 08-08-05 08:08 PM

Anyone interested in hooking a fellow dvdtalker up? I would be really grateful. If so, shoot me an email, [email protected]

NatrlBornThrllr 08-08-05 08:08 PM

Wow, this is ridiculous. I don't have access to a Target right now, but with those prices, I just sent my grandma out to her local Target to check for me. It may be a waste of her time, but if it pays off, wow.

-JP

Mhepburn20 08-08-05 08:11 PM

It's odd that this would work at some targets and not others. Isn't their pricing structure (what would be in the price checkers) a nation-wide thing?

The Cow 08-08-05 08:16 PM

Just got back from the one in Centerville, Ohio. Most of the ones listed in this thread that they had scanned at $5.99, except the Looney Toons. Those scanned at regular price.

Thanks for the info MBradley :up:

sulmona 08-08-05 08:18 PM

no go at the two locations in SB, IN

Bound to Lights 08-08-05 08:20 PM

I just just got two copies of Band of Brothers in Mission Viejo. I went back to get the rest and the lady who had been at my register was taking them off the shelves. So if you're reading this now you should go check yours.

interested in selling/trading for one?

sulmona 08-08-05 08:27 PM

are these scanning at 5.99 at the price checkers or just at the register?

New Rambler 08-08-05 08:31 PM

No go after trying a miscellaneous assortment of the ones OP and others had. Half a gallon of gas down the tubes. Rochester NY (Victor store). I tried the scanner - if the register WOULD have rung them up I will croak....

bballing 08-08-05 08:40 PM

Jaaack pot. OP, thank you very much.

The Cow 08-08-05 08:46 PM

Both.

baloux 08-08-05 08:49 PM

No dice here in Target Chantilly, VA

Mhepburn20 08-08-05 08:58 PM

No go at the Van Nuys (Sepulveda/Burbank) store. I must have checked every TV set in the store: Little House, Northern Exp., Gilmore, Band of Bro., Looney Tunes, etc. No go on any title.

If anyone is near the Burbank store (Victory Pl/Empire rd) they might want to check again. when I went earlier I only scanned Looney Tunes.

CrashNBurn69 08-08-05 09:02 PM
