Another Buzz Club coupon is out, effective use dates October 8-13:

Nice, thanks! Never seen one of these before, hope they get some good restock this week to use it on.

Finally scored a Dog Day Afternoon tonight a few minutes before closing time. I bought $14 worth of other crap too. Came home and there's a 20% off coupon in my inbox. D'Oh!! I might go back tomorrow and load up on more stuff.

That is friggin sweet! But where was that when I bought a bunch of stuff 2 weeks ago? Grrrr... What is their return policy? Maybe I could repurchase the same items, and return them with the old receipt...

I am 95% sure they don't allow returns, at least at my big lots. It might say on the receit.

Thirty day return policy.

Wow, my big lots sucks then because I actually called my store to ask and they said they didn't do returns...

Sure they do... 30 days with receipt. They even have this posted in the food section with a 100% satisfaction guarantee on foodstuffs. I've even managed returns outside that window around the Christmas season as long as it's non-seasonal type items.

Many states require any retail business to accept returns on re-saleable merchandise at least...

Took my BuzzClub coupon in on Monday and found some WB titles in the DVDs I hadn't seen before. Marked at $4 each I picked up:

All the President's Men
The Killing Fields
Bronco Billy
King Kong (original) single-disc no-frills version

With the coupon these cost me $3.20 each.

I also saw a WS version of The In-Laws (2002), but I already own that one.

Used the coupon and picked up "Bram Stoker's Dracula's Curse" and "Legion Of The Dead". Both could be stinkers. But I got them cheap and they're special editions.

I know for a FACT my Big Lots doesn't have that sign. I would have noticed, I've been shopping there for close to ten years now.

Picked up St. John's Wort, an Asian horror flick on the Timeless/Asylum label for $3.20 with the coupon (along with some of the Columbia/TriStar closeouts I needed). St. John's Wort is widescreen but unfortunately it is an English-dubbed version, only (and very badly dubbed at that).

Went to the Coon Rapids BL this morning and they'd restocked a lot of the $2 Columbia/Tri-Star titles. I used the 20% off coupon and picked up these for $1.60 each:

Baadasssss!
Beijing Bicycle
Brother John
Happy Times
How To Make a Monster
Joe and Max
Man Without a Past
Mifune
Mystic Masseur
Raising Victor Vargas SE
Read My Lips
Red Dwarf
Sea Is Watching
Secret Ballot

Most of the above were re-buys since I'd sold previous copies.

This store also had a really broad selection of Mill Creek's "20 Movie Pack" releases and PD television like "Ozzie & Harriet", "Best of Bonanza", "Beverly Hillbillies" etc. I was especially surprised to see the new MC "Best of TV Westerns" 57 episode box. These were all $6 before applying the coupon.

Stopped in early this afternoon and picked up 17 titles all at $1.69 each after tax from two different Big Lots locations.

In addition to the titles I mentioned earlier, I've seen all of these show up again around here (although I had never seen the Vargas SE until now), along with Quitting, My Wife Is An Actress, and Bon Voyage.

The $6 collections rarely show up, and never last long. I always pass on them in order to read reviews, and end up missing my chance.

While passing through Birmingham Alabama I discovered that Big Lots at 120 Green Springs Highway has about 10-15 copies of the boxed set "1st & Ten". As mentioned before, they're $6. Not bad for approx 40 hours of decent material.

The Dollar General stores in our area have also gotten in a small shipment of the Columbia/TriStar closeouts, priced at $3.00 each (as opposed to the $2.00 price which Big Lots is selling most of them for).

I saw many of the same ones which we've seen before, but there were three Columbia/TriStar titles which I didn't remember seeing before at Big Lots:

Loving (1970 - George Segal, Eva Marie Saint, Sterling Hayden)

Mac (1992 - John Turturro, Ellen Barkin, Michael Badalucco)

The Velocity Of Gary (1998 - Vincent D'Onofrio, Thomas Jane, Salma Hayek, Olivia d'Abo)

I finally managed to find a copy of Dark Blue World for $3.00 at Dollar General, which I had looked for unsuccessfully for months and had given up hope of ever finding at a Big Lots in our area.

Thanks Auto...it's a drive for me, but I need several titles as well.

Anyone seen copies of Panda-Z: The Robonimation v2 and v3, by any chance?

a great campy b-movie to pick up in the Columbia/TriStar closeouts is "Guilty As Charged"
it stars Rod Steiger as a vigilante who constructs his own electric chair to fry violent criminals who have slipped through the judicial system. Also stars Issac Hayes as Steiger's assistant. Plenty of good twisted humor. Fans of the show "Dexter" should love this one.

I just picked up 22 Sony titles for $1.60 each... Many not included on the above list, but sorry if I posted any duplicates...

Double Vision
Broken Wings
Once a Thief
Innocence
Borderline
Quitting
Bon Voyage
Circus
My Wife is an Actress
Sea is watching
What to do is case of fire
Zhou Yu's Fire
Subway
Secret Lives of Dentists
Snakes on a Train (not Sony, but I got it for 2 bucks anyway--should have been $4 but she scanned a different DVD instead)

I've only ever seen 4 and 5 at the two big lots near me.

Darn, I managed to snag 1,4,5 and it seems like it's going to be my cup of bizarre tea, but I'm a bit anal about completion and chronology. I imagine with this show it makes NO difference, but still..!

Those two are great--I've got a lot of those titles on your list waiting, but I've actually watched those two Broken Wings is amazingly beautiful. Heartbreaking, too. Just...really, really good

My Biglots also restocked the $2.00 Sony/Columbia/Tristar DVDs. This batch was kinda small in terms of the number of DVDs stocked, but this is what I saw...

Peep Show
Secret Lives of Dentists
Beijing Bicycle
What to do in case of Fire
Joe and Max
Circus
Virtual Sexuality

They had more titles, but this was all I could remember...
