That's a little better than Target for SoA Blu-Ray, and they just sent me an RZ coupon for 10% which drops it down to $36. Not bad I guess.

Those can't be used on sale prices.

Yeah those coupons are always YMMV situations. Some people are able to use them, some aren't.

They most certainly CAN be used on sale prices. The register automatically takes 10% off the sale price. But you are right in that the cashier isn't supposed to let you use them on sale items. I personally have never had a problem using them on sales, but is YMMV depending on the cashier you get I guess. But it is possible to use them.

A little bit better on Sons of Anarchy, I will probably get it from BB instead of Target, and probably seasons 4 and 5 of The Simpsons, 11.99 is not bad at all

@ BB advertising Smallville S7 on Blu for $32.99 after the market has been flooded with $6 Big Lots copies.

But I will finally pick up lots of Simpsons. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks. But BB Sunday ads sales for dvds have been crap since Circuit City went under.
Target is better.

Re: Best Buy Prices: 8/16 - 8/22

hmmm $16.99 for Last House on the Left sounds good - a friend of mine missed it at the cinema and is looking to buy it...although I'm already disappointed about it = no commentary!

The Day the Earth Stood Still and Knowing sound tempting...but unless I'm feeling like impulse buying, I think I'll wait til they get cheaper on Amazon.

Is $39.99 a good price for True Blood Season 1 on Blu-Ray? I love the show, but, does anyone know of a cheaper price elsewhere?

If you can find a used copy at FYE it's under $26 after the 40% off coupon in this thread. Prolly a big YMMV on finding it though as I've been to 5 different FYE stores in the past couple of days and only saw 1.

Thanks. I think we only have one FYE here. I guess I could call them and see if they have it used. If not, I'll just pick it up new at Best Buy next week, along with Here's Lucy: The Complete First Season!

I can't stand when people make these blanket statements. Just today I used the coupon for all of the DC comics blu-rays that are....wait for it....ON SALE !!!

I understand that some stores may not allow it. But qualify it and say at YOUR store those can't be used on sale prices. I never, ever, never, not once have been refused the use of the 10% off coupons on a sale item. Not once. Never. The computer AUTOMATICALLY deducts the 10%. No CSR override needed.

So by you making the blanket statement, someone may not even try to use the coupon and lose out on that 10% savings.

I can say for sure that my store won't allow it. I tried to use the 10% coupon yesterday on T2 Skynet Edition and they turned me down...
