After usually buying 99% of everything for me and the kids, all 14 are intended for the wife.
Fortunately I have rarely ever had cable or I would have wanted to buy so much more than I did.

I ended up picking up 3 dvds and one for my girlfriend. couldn't ever swing the 15% coupon, but really wasn't going to argue with them over a few dollars.
got:
MacGyver - season 7
Walt Disney Treasures - Walt Disney Presents (for GF)
Extras S1
Lucky Louie
all the sets were prices i was willing to pay and over all i'm very happy as well.

My haul (or damage, whichever way you want to look at it)
BG Seasons 1, 2, 2.5
Scrubs Seasons 1,2,3,4
Family Guy v4
I see them sitting on my shelf for a LONG time, because I have a lot of other titles to plough through first.
FANTASTIC sale. Hope they have another one (not too soon though!)

Actually B&N doesn't give full retail credit for returns without a receipt. BN police is store credit for the lowest sale price. We have to look up the price in our bookmaster system and give credit based on that (usually it's the dot com price). At least that's what we're supposed to do.

In the end, I think it is safe to say they probably know both of us very well

Is this an annual event?
Since we are nearing January 2008, I was wondering if anyone happens to know if the B1G1 free TV Boxsets is an annual event at B&N? I received a B&N gift card a few days ago, and am trying to figure out if I should wait for the B1G1 TV boxset sale (if it is going to happen) or use a 25% off coupon now.
Thanks,

Thanks BKenn01! I checked the last few pages of that thread before posting here, but didn't see anything specific. It must have just been further back.
Thanks for the quick response!

How about killing this misleading thread? Like others, I wasted a few moments reading until I noticed the posting dates were from the first of the year. Since the new deal is B2G1 free, this thread is totally irrelevant.

Oh, snap. I just wasted 30 seconds of my life by perusing this thread and realizing it was an old one. I demand I get those 30 seconds back. What a waste, as I could have easily spent those 30 seconds elsewhere much more important, like at freerice.com for example, donating 120 grains of rice.

My apologies for dragging up this old thread and the confusion it is now causing because of the dates in the title. I thought this was the best place to post my question, but in hindsight I should have added a new thread, or maybe posted in the coupon one.
Mods: Can you either edit the title here to include 2007, or lock?
Thanks,
