How to get DVDs for cheap

I'm going to take a break from my usual Thursday blog to start the first of many in a series on buying DVDs for cheap.

Ever wanted to start a great DVD collection? Or already have a good collection and want to make it bigger and better? Then look no further than this How to guide. Each week I'll be going through one to two places that you can look to buy DVDs.

Things to consider first while shopping:

*Do NOT be ashsamed to buy "Previously Viewed" or Used DVDs from stores. Its better to pay 1/3 the price and have a 100% store gurantee that it works than pay the full price.

*If it's a TV series you're looking for don't be afraid to buy different seasons at different stores. (Thats how I was able to get the entire series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for $60, a $180 dollar value)

*Get the club card. Places like FYE and Suncoast have member cards that run from $20 to $25 and get you 10% off.

WAL-MART

While it pains me to actually tell people to buy formthing from wal-mart, it is still a good place to find a great deal on movies.

Wal-mart has 2 for $10 bins, that typically have decent to great titles in them ( at the expense of the special features but you're still getting the actualy feature). Wal-mart also carries a lot of NEW DVDs for in between $10 and $15. They also have new releases for about $10 sometimes too(typically just indies though).

Target

Target has great prices on DVDs, especially TV seasons.

I was in Target recently and they have a lot of TV shows with the first two seasons bundled to gether for $20 a piece.

The DVDs are also very moderatley priced, this store should always be considered if you're on a movie shopping spree.



By using all of these tips that I've learned over the years I've had the money to buy all the movies I wanted and still have enough left over to do other things.
