Carnivale, Oz, Six Feet Under - $16.88 @ Sams Club

Apparently Best Buy isn't the only one marking these down...

Went to Sams Club for lunch today and saw Carnivale S1 (didn't see any S2), Oz S1 (didn't see any others), and Six Feet Under S2 & S5 (again, didn't see any others) for $16.88 per set. I'm guessing if your Sams Club has the other seasons, they'll be the same price.

Thanks OP!

Has anyone seen these at Costco? There isn't a Sam's Club in my area

dang. will BB pricematch this + 10% ?? In my experience, Sam's Club DVDs don't print out the name of the series on the receipt, just a number. should I buy them and walk into best buy with the Sam's Club product and receipt + my BB receipt to show them?

That extra $6.22 is lunch for me (actually 3 days worth of lunch if I eat at Sam's...)

I checked the Ann Arbor Sam's Club yesterday and saw nothing of this. Then again, their Sam's Club is pretty lacking in DVDs.

BB and CC wouldn't price match with Sam's Club or Costco as these establishments require membership to get the good price. Maybe if you pay them the membership price then they'll accept it

Add "From Earth to Moon" to the list of $16.88 titles. Spotted this and the other titles mentioned earlier at the SAM's Club in Gladstone (Kansas City), MO.

bring a digital camera into sam's, snap a pic of the items sitting on the shelf and take it to best buy as proof for a price match? i've done that for costco items, even just using my camera phone and my bb has obliged. guess it's YMMV though depending on the cashier you get.

well, i found that my local Sam's Club (Ontario, California) has put out SFU and Carnivale S1 out for $16.58 (booyah, got 30 cents on all y'all!). Picked them all up (except SFU4 which they were out of) and i'll try to pricematch the Carnivale S1 tomorrow, otherwise i'll just gift it.

Awesome, FYE pays $32 for Carnivale S2, saving a few more bucks is definately worth it.

Where did you see that Best buy was marking these down? Last time I checked in store, which was only a week or two ago, they still had Carnivale S1 for $79.99, which was the most expensive I've seen it anywhere.

They're on sale this week, there are at least three or four threads about it.

I also bought From Earth to Moon and Carnivale at my local BB yesterday.
There is no sign at all in the store said they are on sale.
But it scanned $19.xx at cashier

it's not advertised, but when you take them up to the register, they ring up at $19.99.

Or order online for instore pickup. No fuss, and if they take more than 1 minute to get it into your hands, ask for a $10 credit. I've never seen BB clerks move so fast as when I picked up Carnivale 1 and 2.

Didn't have the chance to say thanks earlier, but went to my local Best Buy today and picked up both seasons of CARNIVALE for $19.99 (even though they were marked $84.99). Had a $5 Best Buy Rewards Zone coupon, too - so it cost me less than $40 for the whole thing. So, thanks, again! Been wanting those for quite some time, but there was just no way I was going to pay the original (over)price for them.

Looks like Sam's has Six Feet Under S1, S2, S3, S5, Carnivalle S1, OZ S1 and From the Earth to the Moon for $16.88 (found two boxes understock and that's what was in them). Just ordered Carnivalle S2 and Six feet S4 from BestBuy for pick up.

Wow... I remember a time when $40 for a used copy of "Six Feet Under" was an amazing deal!

I just bought S2 for $20 from Amazon. I have a Costco membership, not a Sam's Club (though my friend does), but by the time you factor tax and gas, it's a wash at best and a slight win for Amazon at worst.
