Not really related, but I have find memories of the old People's Drug stores. As a kid, they were my primary source for candy, birthday and mother's day gifts, and comic books.

They were bought out by CVS in 1990, although it seems longer ago than that.....

I'll check out the next CVS I drive by.

I struck out at two different locations, but I scored Lady and the Tramp for $5.75 at the third. A big thanks goes out to movieguru.

A real gold mining expedition eh?

"Any gold left in them thar hills?"


Where'd you score?

Derby's gotta be a bust (I'm in there occasionally)

RTE. 34 might be questionable......

One of mine had a good amount of DVDs, but no sign saying there was a sale, and the other one had a shitty selection of DVDs, but had the sale..

They should still scan the discounted prices even if they don't have the signs up. The stores that don't have the correct discounted signs up may still have the best prices available. Have the cashier scan a couple to check before assuming they won't ring up at 75% off.

Also if no ones mentioned yet CD's are also 75% off. Nothing great but a lot of older "best of" titles.

I scored Lady and the Tramp at the Monroe(Big Y Plaza) location. It was the last copy. The CVS at the Trumbull Mall had a few copies of Cinderella behind the register. The CVS across the street from the Hawley Lane Mall had squat. I'm going to see what I can find in the Milford/Orange neck of the woods this weekend.

not that this matters, but:

osco = savon. they are both owned by the parent company, american stores. same thing then with jewel = albertsons = acme and i'm sure there are more in there somewhere.

cvs purchased all STAND ALONE osco's. you will still see them in with jewels or whatever else they call themselves. there was a big rebranding a few years back.

to add to the actual thread, i'm traveling on the road and went to a CVS here in the Philly area (King of Prussia) and didn't see squat. no dvds in site.

Good luck to you sir!

Thanks for responding.

Damn, I wish I would've known that. Thanks, though! I might have to go back and check. I didn't see the sign, so I didn't really look to see what they had.

nothing here in Chicago convert store. please pm with chicagoland stores that have this deal if you spot one.

I picked up Pocahontis 2 disc, as well as caddyshack, total? $7

Thanks for posting this bro.

I went to two yesterday, got excited when #1 had new stuff like Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Superman Returns... but they weren't discounted. #2 had no DVDs at all.

picked up Desperate Housewives Season 1 for $12.50...

everything else was kid stuff (Baby Einstein, Wiggles, etc)

btw, the cds were also all 75% off.

Thanks OP. I checked two CVS stores in Albany yesterday. You have to hunt for the DVD clearance bin. Found Captain Corelli's Mandolin for $3.25 and Pleasantville for $2.50.

Two more today, one had Ghost and Hart's War for $2.50 each

I visited 2 CVS stores, and both had the 75% off. Went a little crazy picking up some mediocre titles, but I figured the wife and/or kids would like them, and they're cheaper than a rental!

I picked up:
Sweetest Thing $3.00
Primal Fear $2.25
Red Dawn $2.50
Robocop $2.50
Get Shorty $2.50
The Program $2.25
Nothing But Trouble $2.25
The Distinguished Gentleman $2.25
Battle of Britain $2.50
Out of Time $2.50
The Contender $2.25
Nine Months $2.25
Rugrats Go Wild $2.25
Meet Strawberry Shortcake $2.50
Poohs Grand Adventure $5.75

Total: $39.50 for 15 DVDs (Avg=$2.63 per DVD)

Went to the CVS (non-converted) a few blocks away from me and they only had this 2 for $12 offer (or you could get 1 for $6).

I went and checked it out today. No 75% off DVDs anywhere. The only DVDs they even had were some of those junk $1 double features, and the 2/$12 that were advertised this week.

I got CVS $10 off coupon when you spend $20 or more. It's great if they carry Disney movies

Mine had the 2/$12 also, but they still applied the 75% off to it, so I got some of them for $1.50.

Nice find! I don't think mine ever had box sets.

Picked up Something's Gotta Give, A Guy Thing (my older copy was freezing), and 3,000 Miles to Graceland for right at $10.00. Not a bad deal.

Just got Ultimates 2 for $3.50, Working Girl $2.00, Casualties of War $1.80, and Beautiful Girls $1.80. Not a bad find. There should be opportunites to find a lot of older or OOP Disney cartoon movies as they don't usally seel out when they were $24.99 and they could sit there for years.

Picked up The Last Boyscout for 2.50, mostly crap left, and the good movies under lock and key weren't on clearance.

I just went, came up empty. It was 75% as advertised, but there was hardly anything there.

I stopped by the CVS near my job, and I picked up Jerry Maguire, Funny Bones, and A League of Their Own for $2.50 each.
