What if we were to post twelve times NOW? Would that count for the entire year? Asking for a friend.

Usually, movies every year. 4K, Blu-ray and sometimes DVDs (TV shows that you can't get on Blu-ray). I've already started and got some good deals. Best Buy put out some early deals on them a week ago and was able to score before they were removed (rumor is they weren't supposed to be posted yet). The Six Million Dollar Man just dropped on Amazon, so now I'm debating, lol.

I was in Sam's Club this morning in North Texas and noticed something I have not seen before. A lot of items had two prices. One price was everyday price and the other price was if you used the Scan and Go app. The Scan and Go price was anywhere $1-$5 dollars cheaper.
Just to give an heads up.....
Thanks! I use Scan & go so I will definitely check this out next time I go.

I hope you all saying DVDs are generalizing and include blu-rays and 4K UHDs. I know DVDs can be cheap, but so can the others (and they usually come with a DVD). I only buy DVDs for old TV shows that you can’t get in other formats, though that is changing as more older shows are coming out on blu-ray (Andy Griffith, I Dream of Jeanie, Wonder Woman, and The Incredible Hulk are some recent additions to blu-ray and almost the same price as the DVDs. It’s crazy not to buy the blu-ray versions). Yes, you can buy that $4 DVD, but sometimes for $1 you can get the blu-ray. Heck, I’ve gotten 4Ks cheaper than DVDs and Blu-rays. It’s not common but it happens (especially around BF). I picked up Frozen on 4K UHD for $4 at Best Buy. It is now $35. It was a brief sale and I stocked up on all kinds of movies (some were more, but got some deals. The reason I rant is because most people now have HD or even 4K TVs. Why watch sub-standard movies on a high resolution TV? Blu-ray players are cheap and/or most people have an Xbox/PS in their homes if they have kids that can play these (unless you have the digital game consoles). I like physical media (except the space it consumes) vice digital streaming. You own the disc (which can include digital copies) and it can’t change. Digital can be removed from your account (you don’t technically own it) and/or replaced with an edited copy (Lilo and Stitch is an example of being altered). Physical disc have better picture quality overall than streaming (mostly). This is just my opinion and I’m not condemning anyone, just giving out information about a hobby I enjoy (probably more than most as have close to 2,800 disc overall, lol). I will say this, BF is the best time to stock up on your favorites because the prices don’t get much better (unless it’s a pricing error, lol). Hit me up if you have questions about upcoming BF sales on movies or if you are trying to find something at a good price. I follow this stuff way too much. I need help, lol.

Besides the pre-Black Friday ads, I’m shocked we haven’t seen more.

The suspense is killing me. I’m glad to see that stores are returning to the old ways of being closed on Thanksgiving (we’ll see how long it last).

I don’t know if being an Elite member at Best Buy is worth it anymore. I didn’t realize they started their ‘Early Access’ sale on Saturday vice Monday which has been that way for years. Didn’t really miss much though as the ‘EA’ was limited to select items (and none I was really in the market to buy.
Did most of my shopping online this year. Walmart was terrible. Advertised 4K movies for $7.96 and I think only one or two ever reflected that online. Bought a few movies but grabbed them in case I couldn’t find them lower.
Went out to Walmart Thanksgiving night (usually don’t but it was 8:30 and wanted to see what was going on) Bought two 4K movies and that was it (one was to cancel an online order that was $3 more: see above). They barely had any of the 4K movies advertised and again, not all prices were correct as advertised.
My big score:
LEGO Millennium Falcon Ultimate Collection Series for $480. Snagged Amazon’s insane sale of 40% off. Used $125 in gift cards and Bing Rewards and paid $385 with tax. I didn’t get this on the first try, I was ready when it went live and it sold out instantly. I went straight to the ‘waitlist’. About 1 1/2 hours later my screen changed to ‘Add to cart’. Took about 10 seconds to checkout, lol.
4K movies
John Wick 3
X-men: Dark Phoenix
Rambo (2009)
Hobbs & Shaw
Cold Pursuit
Hunter Killer
The Expendables collection
Alita
Godzilla
Glass
Star Trek 1 and 2 (Chris Pine versions)
Mortal Engines
Other things:
Motherboards, processors, RAM, graphic card for new PC builds for my son and I.
Air fryer
Kindle Oasis (fully loaded WiFi/3G)previous model close out)) original $349 for $149. Upgrade and save ended up paying $74.
More LEGO (adult collector btw) Gingerbread House, Saturn V rocket, Disney Train and Station and some smaller sets.
Other things, but my post is insanely long, so I’ll stop. Good deals overall. That’s why I always look on GottaDEAL. I didn’t post much this year, but I was here ‘lurking’ as I do all year.

I cannot find a single movie online.... ugh.
I've bought 6 4K movies so far. Some prices don't seem to be as advertised, but I'll try to pick them up in store tomorrow and advertised price.
-
I'm looking for a LG OLED 55" under $1000. Don't think that is going to happen after seeing Best Buy ad. What TV would be comparable?
I've seen the 55" OLED is going to be on sale just under $1000 (I think the NEX ad (military)), but if they have it, be on the look out for others stores to have it at a similar price.
-
For those thinking about movies, if you have a 4K tv, you should really be buying 4K movies or at least blu-rays. The only reason to buy DVDs is if it’s not available on the other formats (such as TV shows). IMO you are missing out on what your TV has to offer. For Black Friday this year, Target and Best Buy will be offering the Sony 4K (X700) player for $129.99. If you own a 4K TV, you really need one of these (IMO
).

I hate how Best Buy does their ads now. When you get the PDF, you can't see all of the items (I.e. movies). There is an arrow to access more, but you have to go to their website to see their other items. The only good part is, the ad is now on their website without having to wait until the day before.

One of my DIL is collecting Disney animated movies so I am looking for those. My sons fiance ants the Golden Girls seasons (last year Barnes and Noble has series 1/2 off)
Target has a Buy 2 get one free on movies this week. I was looking at Frozen 4K, Tangled 4K and something else. The 4K versions are $29.99 each, so you can get three for $60 = $20 each. Not bad for 4K. You may find a few for $20 on BF, but may be a selected few.

Looking for a good CHEAP gaming TV for my nephew this year. Must be at least 55 and 4K....... GO!
CHEAP means different things for different people. You get what you pay for, but these have decent reviews. These or other models may be cheaper for BF, so it's really hard to say.
A few:

As TV sale information becomes available, a good site to do research is www.rtings.com. Not all TVs will be listed, but you can probably find similar models.

4K blu-rays ($8.96 last year at Wal-mart) I'll pay up to $15 for new releases if not cheaper at Wal-mart.
Maybe the new Keurig Cafe Special Edition (it was on sale the other day for $160 (same price as non-SE))
Not sure I 'need' anything else, but I'm sure I'll find something in these ads, lol.

My phone connects to my car audio 2 different ways, either by bluetooth or the charging cord. So if the phone is plugged in, I have to select that audio option for the Echo to work. I bet your car is the same way, so you might look at that.
Yeah, pretty much the same (Ford MyTouch/Sync 2), but it is picky on which one it wants to do. Somedays if I 'charge my phone' it works fine and somedays it doesn't; I have to unplug my phone to get it to work. t seems to work better it you plug it all in, open Alexa app (on my iPhone), then start the car (so Bluetooth connects to Echo first(?)). I f I do it after I start the car; it's a mixed bag and don't know if you can leave it charging or have to unplug it, lol.

I just got my invitation a couple weeks ago. Bought it, of course. Not sure what I am going to do with it, but I like it and think you should grab one at $25.
I *KNEW* you pre-ordered one.
I never got the invite, but got in a ‘back door’ way. I like it, but it’s a little glitchy. Sometimes if I charge my phone at the same time, it doesn’t send sound through my speakers; if I unplug it, then it works, lol. Other times, it works normal.

I put in for the ring and glasses. Odds are probably not good. The Echo Auto is for sale now a $50. Funny I never got my invitation from last year; that's why I;m no putting too much faith in the ring and glasses. When my current microwave dies, I may look into the 4-in-one oven.

They matched the Walmart ad on the 65in Sharp.
I was able to get all of the movies I wanted, both 4K and Bluray.
I had previously picked up the air fryer and the Onkyo receiver, since they were BF prices already.
I was looking at the Onkyo, but it's a slight downgrade for me. I'd get DTS:X (I have Atmos), but I'd lose wattage and (the type of) internet radio (I like the one I have). For anyone needing a receiver, that Onkyo is a great deal.
