That's saturation.

Classic Films

I saw 2 CSI - Miami multi season sets , Seasons 1-3 and Seasons 4-6 for $7.50 each marked down from $15. These were the only multi season sets I saw.

Free DVD for Rewards Members!

E-mail received this morning that a DVD ($3 and under) is the current freebie. It's loaded to your account.

BobO'Link

Of course actually finding a $3 DVD worth picking up that's not already in my collection is the challenge...

rmw650

If one can even find one of those 3 buck DVDs there as everything is literally five bucks and higher now at most stores.

Cardsfan111

Went in just before closing and picked up a pair of $3 DVDs using the rewards accounts of family members. My choices: The Front Runner & The Saint

I thought the display looked a little thinned out which I was glad to see. Figured this giveaway might be intended to make room for whatever might be put out for the holidays.

Then when I checked out, I noticed a large basket of DVDs at the register. I guess cashiers may have been pushing them a bit over the weekend.

I use to go there random for media and other misc. but now got so much media i dont really shop or feel need to get unless i wiling the high cost for anyhting right now. on a budget big time so any media score gotta wait til later and maybe get some black friday if can do or find any worthy to get since i read walmart not gonna have any good deals since pandemic crap still going. but time will tell anytime .

JohnIan

Exactly. BF is when I'll do a lot of my media shopping.

There will be some good deals at Wal-Mart, but not as much as earlier years.

cabler30

Yep seeing ads and media not as cheap as it use to be before pandemic hit any. like expect us to pay more to watch media and guess not much a selection unless it any u really want at time. years past use to be like 5 plus displays of media u can choose from and i would fill a small basket of any wanted. since saw the adds last year i just went to bilots and snag any i wanted at time. so may do same this year idk cause others events going on around same time so gotta choose hassle at event cause covid rules and stuff or get media lol.

JohnIan

Part of the reason. The other is the supply issue. Stores are not getting merchandise.

This will be answered on the day; which stores got what or more important - how much did they get?

cabler30

So true, seen video on youtube about how covid hassles and lack of help so to speak cause supply delays to get places. the ports are hurting on space and rules and trying to get stuff off ships and to places. so they trying to get u to shop sooner for holidays cause cost may go up due to lack of supply any. they also blamed shopper habits changd during pandemic to cause many to shop more online then at stores so stuff got wanted sooner then before. this pandemic just caused chaos.

There were some titles added to my local store within the last 7-10 days. Can't guarantee these are not repeats, but I was certain they weren't there the last time I was there.

Appeared they were $5 if anyone is interested in DVDs at that price point. A few that caught me eye:

Molly's Game
Nightcrawler
Ocean's 8
Spotlight

Black Friday related?

Cardsfan111

Some new things at my local store today. A number of animated films for $3, but nothing of interest to me.

Several copies of the God's Not Dead "trilogy" for $7 and at least 3 copies of a kid's show, Sonic Underground (Volume 1). Here's the for that one should someone be interested. It was $3.

Cardsfan111

One of the stores closest to me had a new cardboard display near the front entrance. The only thing I found of interest to me was Accident Man on BD for $3.

I also browsed through the regular 4-sided metal rack and found a lone copy of Stan Lee's Lucky Man (Season 1) on DVD. It was also priced at $3.

In case you overlooked an e-mail notice, you should have a 25% off coupon on your account good through the end of this week. Might be a good time to see what your store has or if you've held off on grabbing something previously.

Cardsfan111

A load of new sets showed up at my local store this week. I only saw single copies of many of them if you are interested. However, I'm not a fan of the higher price points than what we've seen in the past.

Posted this in the BD thread. Sharing here as well since I mention a few DVDs near the bottom which could be of interest to some:

A bunch of new titles stuffed into the display at my closest store. It was easy to spot what wasn't there before because they were priced at either $2.99/$4.99.

These were $2.99 (I bought the Wayne's World films since I didn't have the 2nd on BD):
Collateral
Friday Night LIghts
Gravity
Lego Batman The Movie: DC Super Heroes Unite
My Cousin Vinny
Platoon
Wayne's World/Wayne's World 2 double feature
We're the Millers

There were quite a few at $4.99. Here were a couple that might be most interesting to others:
Mad Max Fury Road 3D $4.99
3 Family Film Favorites (Rio/Robots/Horton Hears a Who) $4.99

Here's a couple on DVD @ $4.99 which might be worth noting since they contain multiple films:
DC Universe 3 pack (Green Lantern: First Flight/Superman: Doomsday/Justice League: The New Frontier)
Hotel Transylvania/Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs/Smurfs

And another DVD at $4.99 which stood out because of its size:
Transformers 2-disc special edition -- like this one: Based on that Amazon price, let me know if I should go back and grab this one!

1 day sale today: buy 1 get 3 free. The sale states "dvd"; but blu's are included.

I went to the closest one. I was there the other day & was surprised that little had sold today. While there was nothing i would have paid full price for, with the sale/discount I picked up 8 (& only discovered that i already owned 2 when I got home, yay!).

Blu's & cd's are included. They seemed to actually be taking a varying discount off each disc (the receipt shows the discount, & it is not 75%). I paid $14.98 + tax for what would have been a regular price of $40.22.There were a few tv box sets, I got 2: Flintstones S01 & Handmaiden's Tale S01. Mixing blu & dvd is ok. sale ends at closing tonight.

Blu-ray:
Platoon $1.22
Godfather (I already owned this) $1.78
Hotel Transylvania 1 & 2 (I already owned this) $2.04
Handmaid's Tale S01 $3.57
Underworld: Blood Wars $1.79

DVD
Silence of The Lambs $0.51
Trumbo $1.22
Flintstones S01 $2.85

Alas, I have only one BL anywhere near me and I went in and found a poor selection with hardly enough dvds to fill three sides of the four-side rack, many of them duplicates. I was interested somewhat in the Marx Bros television appearance set $10 but found nothing else, they had Flintstones season one and Josie and the Pussycats for $8 which I considered but I know those will just sit unwatched and couldn't find a fourth title remotely of interest so I passed. My local BL has gotten very few new dvds in the last several years. I think this sale and the Dollar Tree one was just a shot at reducing their inventories.

cabler30

Last i check my place somebody had them as for dvd /blu ray any in stacks so readable and not standing any so i guess some or many sold or no new media came in for any reason. but any tv show packs i saw last i got any and all rest i guess sold or taken down for any reason besides some random cds was around but not on shelf to where u can easy read sides any but was facing u so u had to move any to check what behind by chance. not sure when the stores get media any unles for any major holidays by chance. i have so much seen and not seen so still wrapped in plastic that i dont really buy media like i use to lol. plus when u gotta move any, u try limit all u got so cost less to move any later.

My Big Lots no longer get's much of anything in anymore. Just a few DVD's and maybe one or two Blu-rays. I did see one 4K there but it was of a lesser known title I was not even aware of. They just don't get new inventory in anymore. It's just dying at this store. We only have one Big Lot's. .
