I have only been a member for a very short time but I have saved around 50% on my dvd perchance I have made this month, but I get confused some times when reading posts because I don’t have a glossary of terms :-

I gathered that
Bb – Blockbusters
Cc – credit card
Gc – gift certificate

But what does

B&m and sol mean.

thanx

B and M = Brick and Mortar (an actual physical store, not an internet store)

SOL = Sh!t out of luck
