To me, the best deal seems to be "Get Shrek 2 Free when you join Blockbuster online rental" , Its ~$18, you get Shrek 2 and a months worth of rental. Can't be bad.

This was a very solid post. Come on people, if you want to get the best bang for your buck, you have to be an educated consumer. I can't believe how little work some are willing to happily do and still spend a lot of time complaining when they say they want to find the best deal...

Get out there and find it. The information is out there. This forum has plenty of sources.

Where can you get a date for $15 these days?

Oh, and Shrek 2 doesn't have an insert either. Now you REALLY probably don't want to buy it, huh?

You've gotta be kidding me. There's tons of threads on this in the Bargains Forum. Big releases are always $15.99 at the major retailers and sometimes cheaper.

yeah, but he wants to save a buck... seriously, you'll just spend the buck on a pack of gum or a soda at the check out stand anyways.

Bargins forum always has the answer.

So you are going to a brick and mortar store to buy there and pay taxes? Buy online and save money.

not only save money you save time and gas...take how much you make an hour and how many miles to the store and your gas mileage, ad the the time you take and that is your final price invested in saving that $0.99....

Well, guys and gals, after all that, guess what happened?

I got the DVD for free. And yes, widescreen.

Put simply, the sales clerk made a mistake, and to make it right, I was given a full refund - which I didn't really ask for, but graciously accepted.

This is the second free DVD I've gotten. The first was Tremors, because it scanned at a price higher than its sticker, and the store has a scanner guarantee policy that says you get it free if it scans wrong.

There is a reason companies do not advertise the price of dvds and other products. Most companies get reimbursed on the products that they advertise in their circulars or what have you. In some cases, some products have a minimum advertised price and if that price is lower on the their ad then they would not get reimbursed for that ad. So this is not something you are going to see go away. This is strictly business related not to irritate the consumer, which is a side effect of this practice.

^ Yeah, I know. It just doesn't help at all when you're trying to do price comparisons.

If you know then you shouldn't get so pissed about it.

I understand not knowing a price is frustrating but is it that big a deal?

where??how??

Ya right!

congratulations; would you like a cookie

So does this mean you'll now be unable to buy any more DVDs until you find a store that advertises that their clerks will mess up when they scan your DVD and be forced to give it to you for free?

I thought it was common knowledge that the price closest to the new release DVD (but actually appearing as a nearby DVD's price) was, in fact, the new DVD's price as well.

In other words, take a look at the Best Buy ad below. Shrek 2 is shown with "Hot Price". Now, right next to it is Ju-On, with a price of $16.99. You'll notice that the $16.99 price kind of leans over toward the Shrek 2 photo. That's your "Hot Price", for those in the know. It's never been inaccurate, in my experience.

Yup Numanoid, that's the general idea. I'm surprised their is still folks on the forum who don't realize that

That's the way best buy can get around that problem of not being able to display the price and still get reimbursed for their ad.
