Green Mile 2 Disc $9.88 at Sams (YMMV)

This seems like a mistake to me and may be isolated, but the Sams in Temple, Texas has the 2 disc Green Mile for $9.88. It's mixed in with a bunch of WB 2 discs, including Shawshank, Constantine, Mystic River, Rebel without a Cause, etc. (Oddly Gothik was the single disc for $9.88).

YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary)

Well, that answers my question in the Costco thread.

Does the price tag say $8.99? Or does it only scan at that price? (price marked higher?)

The price tag says $8.99. They actually had quite a few of the Warner 2 disc SE's for $8.99.

Phibes, thanks a million--I was moments from ordering it from DDD with their 20% off discount, but even then, it would have cost more! For those interested, there were only 4 (now 3 ) available at my Sam's, so you might want to move fast...

Glad you got it Filmmaker

I still wonder if it is a price mistake. I cant imagine them selling the new release for below $15. I think they confused Shawshank and Green Mile (BTW, the last time the WB 2 discs were on sale at my Sams, they also were selling the single disc of Gothika for that price.)

They definitely didn't confuse the two at Costco because they had both titles for $8.99.

$11.84 thru DDD with the 20% sale, good enough for me.

i picked this up at the Columbia House sale for $7.98 with free shipping (no regular priced purchase required). You can use fun cash on the discount price too!

I think it's a price error, too, because the discounted SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION is the original movie-only version, not the 2-disc S.E., so I think this $9.88 price was supposed to be for the original movie-only release of THE GREEN MILE, as well.

Great tip on Green Mile Special Edition. Finally got to use my CH funcash! Just paid for shipping/tax ($3.21).

Thanks!

My Sams had the 2 disc Shawshank for $9.88. Yours may be doing what mine did with the Gothika set (2 disc cheap in some, mine 1 disc but same price).
