Yeah, I noticed that statement and was kinda irked when it didn't show up online for $15. No way was I going in today to argue about it. I guess you did and from prior years experience I know you earned that money.

I tried this earlier today when I went out, but on House: Season 3.
I just asked the cashier if the "All Seasons" applied to House Seasons 1-3. He didn't find anything wrong with the ad, so a manager came and gladly changed the price for me.

I got denied when I tried for the override with a yellow shirt. Oh well, YMMV. I think I'll try to use the Target flyer to get a price match (at BB or Wal-Mart) on House Season 1 tomorrow if I have time.

He may even be rattling chains...especially if his name was 'Marley'.
I would be obtaining a restraining order as soon as possible.

I got House and Las Vegas season 3's for 14.99. Just showed cashier the ad, and she over rode it herself. This was yesterday afternoon.
I needed House season 2, but they were out.

I tried it with Family Guy. Asked a couple of yellow shirts before I got in line. They scanned the other seasons and they came up at full price. Since they were nice and helpful, I didn't try to push it. It was BF morning and I had other deals to pursue.

Also, I disagree, I'm looking at the ad online. It cleary states above the section "These TV seasons on DVD"
And below it says "all Seasons."

I went to him for clearication about how both statements are on the same ad. If he had said it applied only to seasons for Rescue Me and South Park, I would have went with it.
The ad was confusing, so I ask and I saved.

I grabbed the flyer and the Smallville Season 6 set, and went to the checkout. It rang up at 48.99, so I acted confused and said I thought it was 14.99, and showed the cashier in the flyer where it said ALL SEASONS. He looked at the flyer for about four seconds, and changed the price as a price error. It didn't require a manager or anyone special.

Tried this for Nip/Tuck Season 4
and received it for $14.99. The checkout guy did not question me when I showed him the flyer stating "all seasons". He agreed so quickly, I didn't even notice whether he did a price override. I'm guessing that he did. Gave me the impression that he may have been through this earlier with other customers.
