On that note, for anyone who is a fan of westerns, you can get a killer deal on the 2 disc special edition of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly thanks to Target. But it's this week only. For those not in the know, there are two DVD versions of GBU, the original 1 disc (to be henceforth referred to as "GBU-O") and the 2 disc SE that came out last year in an off-white box (to be referred to as "GBU-SE"). Target's sale ad for this week lists GBU as being a $7.50 bargain. They were intending to sell off their GBU-Os real cheap and then carry nothing but the GBU-SE. However, their promotions department used the cover image from the GBU-SE instead. Any Target you go to now has nothing but the GBU-O (and it's marked as being the $7.50 special). Neither of the two Targets I've been to have had the GBU-SE on the shelf or even had shelf tags out for it. They either sold out of the SE real quick or, more likely, pulled them from the shelf. They can say they sold out of them and wait until next Sunday to put them back out as Target has a no raincheck on sale items policy. They screwed the pooch on this one. So, my suggestion is to go to Wal-Mart, Best Buy, or Circuit City with your Target ad and grab one of their copies and take advantage of their price match policies. I had no problem doing this last night at CC. I got a US$20 set for US$7.99 (after tax). I can definitely handle that. You might have to fudge a little if they ask you why you are coming to their store instead of just going to Target (most price-match policies require that the competing store where the sale is actually have the product in stock). So don't say Target is out of the movie. That wouldn't work. Lie and say you were shopping at another store in that same strip and you are too lazy to drive to Target. Or make them feel good and say you'd prefer to give your hard-earned cash to a quality store like Circuit City (Best Buy, Wal-Mart *hack*, etc.). They never questioned me about it, but they might ask you so you need to be ready.
Anybody else found any good deals?
