The Sunday Paper

Yes, I go straight for the ads that sell new music and DVD’s. I always pick out Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, and Nebraska Furniture Mart. These days we don’t make it to the Cinema as often as we’d like. I do like movies and I do have collector tendencies. If there was a movie that I would have liked to see, but missed out, now I can pick it up on DVD. Movies that slightly interested me I’ll rent. Anyway, I feel justified when the price of a DVD is cheaper than two tickets to the movie theater.

Here is the scope for the best prices for new releases on DVD:

Wal-Mart usually is the cheapest. They don’t have a Sunday ad.

Target, Circuit City, and Best Buy are pretty competitive, but once in a while one will break away from the others and be a dollar cheaper.

Lately, Nebraska Furniture Mart will have a one day sale (Tuesday) for new titles at $9.99. That is the best buy, but could be a bit of a drive.

This is what I do: Grab the cheapest ad (NFM) and drive to the closest Wal-Mart. See if you ad price beats Wal-Mart’s, if not Wal-Mart will accept the other competitor’s ad price. (Best Buy will also accept competitor’s prices although I heard they might discontinue that service, Target will not, and I am not sure about Circuit City.)
