Stopped into my recently re-opened Big Lots yesterday. It re-opened last week after being wiped out by the flood back in July 2023, so it's like a new store opening. I wasn't sure if they'd have any discs, but they do still have a media rack with a small (so far) selection.
There were a variety...
Yeah, I see them mostly marked that way. I don't know where they're coming from as previously viewed, though, as there are not many video rental stores out there. Who is "previously viewing" these discs?
Stopped at Big Lots tonight for the first time in a while and found a few new things. They seem to be having a sale on multi-disc sets. I'm not sure exactly what the sale is or if maybe it's something with the Rewards Club card, but it worked out to just over 30% on each of the multi-disc sets...
Saw one new cardboard display with a few new titles, but nothing that exciting. Lots of asian DVD's and direct to video horror. They did have The Lorax 3D, if anyone's looking for that. I think it was $5.
Also a handful of new TV sets, most of which I cannot remember. I do recall The Office...
I don't think their inventory system differentiates between blu and DVD. Seems like anytime I buy blu's, my receipt just says something like "July DVD Assortment". I think they just batch everything together, so it makes sense that it would be price based rather than formats.
A few new titles at my store today, though nothing overly exciting. If anyone's into steelbooks, they did have the Star Trek reboot (Chris Pine) steelbook for $5.
They did have quite a few markdowns on discs for clearance ($5 discs marked down to $1.75 or so). I didn't check the titles too...
Got mine today. Not too much for selection of flavors at my store. I think it was only Classic Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade, Cherry Limeade, Pink Grapefruit, and Orange Mango.
The Ginger/Lime is good. I think my BL had some, as I picked some up recently and that's the only place I've been buying it as it's quite a bit cheaper than the supermarket.
Actually, they're all pretty good. :D I had a Kiwi/Strawberry last night.
Picked up some ketchup, as I'd just bought mustard at the supermarket recently.
Also found a couple of interesting discs, including one on clearance for 75 cents. Not sure there were any "new" selections, though.
Browsed the electronics last night, but nothing I really needed (mostly headphones, chargers, cords, cases).
Seemed like a few new Blu/DVD titles, but I can't say for sure. I saw The Cloverfield Paradox blu-ray for $5, which I'd never recalled seeing before. My store also had the 3-pack of all...
Yes, I don't think any of them are really worth a special trip, and I've only ever been interested in a couple of the offers. The last one I looked for I think was some coffee drink. I couldn't find it.
Most of the newer stuff at my BL for Black Friday was small horror titles and Asian action pics, and a restock of the big multi-season TV sets. Lots of CSI (original, Miami, NY), I Love Lucy, Streets of San Francisco, Have Gun Will Travel, Criminal Minds, Dynasty, Petticoat Junction, Laverne &...
Saw some new things at BL tonight. Mostly sci-fi TV series (including some from SyFy). $5 each.
Continuum (Seasons 1-3)
Alphas (Season 1)
Dominion (Seasons 1-3)
Van Helsing (Season 1)
Master of None (Aziz Ansari, Season 1)
Dracula (2013, Jonathan Rhys-Myers, Season 1)
Mr. Selfridge (ITV/PBS...

Saw a few new things at BL last night, including the 70th Anniversary edition of Double Indemnity on blu-ray for $5 (currently $25 at Amazon), the 3-disc blu-ray of Star Trek (2009) for $5 (currently $25 at Amazon), double-pack of The Terminator (1984) and Terminator: Genisys on blu for $5, and...
Saw a few discs in my DT last night. This location seldom seems to have discs. Not sure how many they had to begin with, but only about a dozen were left. Nothing of interest except for one that I already had.
My store also had the Star Trek Compendium, a 4-disc set of the recent films on blu-ray for only $5. Great deal for anyone that doesn't have the blus. I also saw ST: Into Darkness 3D.
The Blacklist Season 2 on blu-ray. Why do they always have later seasons, but never Season 1? Also had S2 of...
