They tried to argue with me yesterday, claiming Target had a "single disc" of Heroes on sale. Whew, it was not good that they did that when I'd had no sleep. I accidentally turned into vicious, angry, vindictive customer when they subtly accused me of trying to trick them.

I had a hard time PM-ing Heroes at BB, I bought it the previous week to have a 110% PM. However the employees tell me they have to have the model number or season number. I said "There's only one season for that, and of course it's the DVD and not the HD-DVD version for $19.00" They then checked online on Target.com, I asked them if they checked "Weekly Ad," they said yes and it was $41.99, they actually checked Target.com prices.
Had to insist on it, went online to Target.com, took a picture of the weekly ad indicating it was indeed "Heroes Season 1 DVD."

I picked up Super Mario Galaxy and will give it a whirl in the morning.
Keep fighting the good fight, Speedy!

I haven't been on DVDTalk in ages... but...
I went in on Super Mario Galaxy and The Office : Season 3. (previously got them for $49.99, and $39.99, respectively). So, I'm gonna take them back and get my $32 back.
And I also decided to buy Heroes. I watched it on TV for just a few episodes because I really wanted to like it, but I feel I didn't give it much of a chance... and for $19, I couldn't pass it up.
But, speedy, I hope all is well with you and you'll be back in full force! Take it easy, and a happy new year to you!

Why thank you ProjectMayhem!
It's so nice to meet you!
Have a GREAT New Year's holiday as well!
Please come back later and hopefully I'll have the NEW Target ad up and CC at CAG (if you're interested).

By a former Wal*Mart employee, I'd say that you are right. Unless the Target you are trying to price match is not considered a "local" competitor.

I never did think to ask if they still accepted Best Buy or not. Something is just fishy about the entire thing.

I'm telling you, that's complete bull. Call 1-800-WAL-MART right in front of them if you carry a cell, should do just fine.

LOL I've seen a lady do that when the wal-mart wouldn't accept her coupons. Not sure how it worked out for her, but I will give it a try the next time I go. Which might be tomorrow depending on when/if the snow stops.

Usually 10 - 25 miles.
When I worked In Shelton, we refused to PM Target because the nearest Target was 40 miles away. Once they built one in TRumbull and Milford and Orange, we price matched Target as they were in our local geographic area.

* Dead Like Me was $40 originally, but because it was Beast Buy itself having the sale, I just got back the $22.50 difference, not the extra $2.25 I was originally expecting.
Capice?
