If you have a Fred Meyer store in your area, they have the "Marge Head" shown in their ad for $24.99 this week. Link is here

Is The Color Purple the 2-disc one?

Might have to get that $9.99 Looney Tunes

To me it looks like the single disc version.

Thanks for explaining, Speedy! I'll look into Good Night and Good Luck, but at $7.99 I'll probably rent it and wait for a lower price. With all these sub-$6 DVD sales at CC, BBY, WMT, DDD, and J&R, I'm becoming overwhelmed. I just realized I've been spending way too much time buying too many cheap DVDs to the point I'm not doing other things I need to in life. As you probably have read me say before, even though I'm a video game lover at heart who would normally go crazy over the $8.96 sale at CC, I'm restraining myself from buying a Xbox or PS2 because I can't afford to sacrifice the time. I'll probably skip Xbox 2 and PS3 too.

I remember when I went crazy when DVDs first came out and Circuit City and Montgomery Ward had $14.99 sales... I must've bought about 60 movies @ $14.99 each in one evening. Now I look back and think what a waste of money, but I was used to paying $30 for laserdiscs so it seemed like a great deal. I can barely bring myself to pay more than $6 for any DVD now. Whenever I occasionally cave in and pay more than $6 (such as Starship Troopers SE for $9.99 in November 2005 or Groundhog Day for $7.50 in January) I usually regret it in about 6 months. The magic thing about $6 is that $4.88 (or on rare occasions $3.88) is pretty much the extent of the price drops.

I checked two stores and couldn't find We Love Katamari, too bad.

Good luck finding anything good on that video game list come the ninth. The $8.96 video game clearance sale is a carryover from the previous week. Even before that, people from CAG and FatWallet got a jump on everybody else and managed to snag the quality titles at the clearance price before the sale officially started. All that will be left by the time the Sunday circular goes out will literally be the absolute bottom of the barrel.

$7.99 for Jak 3 and Killzone is not a bad price, though.

thanks speedy. empire records might be my only purchase here, if i bother going over there for one title. i already have all the 7.99 titles that i want from the list but great price on GN & GL!

MGR

$7.99 is a really great price for the terrific Good Night And Good Luck.
Next best price to that is DDD's 12.49.

Hopefully CC will have enough stock of it to last more than only the first hour on Sunday (as they sometimes tend to do... )

Thanks, OP!

Nothing for me that week.

so it goes

Are these prices usually good online as well during the week? Or is it just instore?

hey i have not posted on here in a couple years prolly.....but just wanted to say thanks speedy for always having the ads



Speedy for mod in 06

Was going to go for the Empire Records (SE) but looks like it's a POS snapper case. I don't have much in terms of buying policy, but I refuse to pay $10 for one of those. < $5, maybe. Hopefully they'll re-release it in a keep case at some point.

I may go ahead an nab Good Night and Good Luck for that price though...

In any case, great job once again Speedy!

Circuit City has it's usual standard line in the ad that states that some of the specials (advertised prices) may be available online at their site.

So it's best to check there if you see something of interest in the weekly ad.

so it goes

Thank you for that info. I'm hoping to pick up Simpsons season 7 in the Marge head if available. I have two CC's near me so I'll call them saturday to see if it is available anywhere, if not, it seems to be in stock on the website, but, I have a feeling that is not really the case.

Also, thank you Speedy for always posting these ads and answering questions. I was told about these posts on another forum a few months back and they have been incredibly helpful ever since. Thank you!

speedy1961

Nice to meet ya!

Time to pick up Kameo, I think.

Oh, and I picked up Simpsons Season 7 (Marge head) at Circuit City on 7/3. They had 8 copies sitting on the shelves, so I couldn't pass it up, even at the full $40 price. Going to have to try and get them to give me back the difference. Hopefully they don't throw a fit, as the marge head and normal box have different UPCs and they could have only placed the normal box on sale...

FYI, when I bought the Marge head last week, they said that their computers showed that they had ZERO copies in stock, even though there was 8 copies sitting on the shelves. And they said that is pretty common.

so it goes

I was able to get the Simpsons season 7 Marge head this morning, at the sale price.
I called last night to see if they had any/could hold one and expected to go in this morning and have it be the wrong box or not on sale (website did not have the sale price listed when I checked). Not only was it the head on sale but they had a bunch of other copies as well. Two on a shelf behind the service desk, two on an endcap display and one more on the shelf with the other seasons!
I thought this was supposed to be limited and running out? They didn't even have any of the regular box for season 7, just the head.
So if anyone is near Springfield, MA and is looking for the Marge head, the Circuit City has 5 copies left in stock.
I guess I got lucky on this. Thanks again Speedy for the heads up on this sale!

speedy1961

Glad you got what you wanted!

The video game clearance continues but they had pretty much been picked clean last week and before.

Thanks Speedy!

Circuit City pricematched the Marge Head Simpsons Season 7 I bought last week and with some of the money I bought Good Night, and Good Luck.

I picked up Pirates of the Caribbean and Batman Begins. I'm tired of waiting on Warner to release the HD DVD version of Batman...I have a feeling that a second after I've opened and placed the disc in my player an announcement will be made =/ Oh well...it's only $8

Also want to pick up Empire Records: Remix! Special Fan Edition this week.
