Re: Best Buy Weekly Ad 12/27/09 - 1/2/10
The Best Buy I went to was a madhouse.
I went there on at least 3 occasions during the holiday shopping season, and none of them were like yesterday, a Monday afternoon, at 2:30. Parking lot was packed, I had to park in the back of the building near the shipping bays. Crazy.
So, as you would expect, they had sold out of the TV on DVD deals, and most of the other advertised deals were gone or depleted, with the exception of The Hangover, around 75 copies of the 1 disc were available in the Comedy section.
I went home and ordered Fringe S1, House S5, Four Christmases, and a sale Yoga DVD and paid $9.xx for shipping. It was worth it to me to save the time and gas I would use on another trip that could prove fruitless.

i wanted to pick up ben hur and they were completely out, along with a bunch of other random 3 something dvds.
kinda tempted to just do all my buying used from amazon.

The prices on Battlestar Galactica have been reduced to $17.99 except for seasons 2.0 and 2.5 for some reason.
I'm still waiting for them to lower the price on House S5.

I agree.
My Best Buy had more people than usual. Could not find "House M.D." S5, sold out; ended up going to Target and price matched it. But I got the runaround, electronics sent me to the front register and they sent me to customer service. Today was the world of lines, minus the rides or a guy dressed in a giant mouse suit.

This afternoon I went to Target to buy How I Met Your Mother S4 and 24 S7. I took them the register and showed the girl House S5 and The Office S5 saying that I need to bring the to CS to PM. The girl looked confused and tried to PM them for me but said that should couldn't find the button for it and that I DO need to take them to CS. I said, "I know, that's what I said, but thank you for trying".
HAHA!! Only at Target does the customer know more than the cashier!! No wonder people are still using the $5-off Target coupons.

Amazon is matching BB on the 3.49 titles including Ben-Hur. Thank goodness my Pushing Daisies BR did not ship yet and the price hasn't changed
