holy crap

Now...this is all completely my fault...I should work on inpulse control.

We picked up a few dvds on payday....then

You ever wanted something and waited and waited for the price to go down, then it did and you got it...Well, that happened with two things yesterday.  I called off work cuase I felt liek shit in the morning and I'd been fighting some stomach thing and didn't want to go in and spend most my shift int he bathroom.  Dexter season two was on sale at Target so I took the bus up to pick it up before the same stopped.  WE'd been looking for it, but always put it off cuase it was $30 everywhere...Target was selling it for $18.

Stopped into FYE to check something and spot Buffy season five.  You would have thought this thing is the holy grail becuase NO ONE EVER STOCKS IT!!!  They had it new for $40 (Yeah right, I bought 1-4 for $15, try agian) or used for $29.  Debated for abit and grabbed the used copy.  Even buying on walmart.com and using my employee discount it wasn't this cheap, plus I got 10% off casue we have the loyalty card there.  The only reason I didn't want it was becuase it was the old bulk back...where you could unfold it and it's six feet long.  Most my Angel seasons are liek that and watching the last disc means unfolding the whole thing.  My other seasons are slimline and take up half the space.  I wanted them all the same type...it looks neater on the shelf...but oh well.  Walmart stopped carrying the slimline and now sells single cases.  Still wondering how they're squeezing six discs into a single case, but oh well.

Look for what I wanted to price...Dark Angel.  We sell season one at work in a two pack for $20...no luck finding it cheaper here.  But then something shiney caught my eye.  Think I;m kidding?  The cardboard sleave for this thing is SHINY!  So I pick up Dresden Files and look...Price tag on it says $29.99, on sale for 12.99.  Pull out the used copy sitting next to it...and it's $16 used?!  MINE!

So,  in the past 48 hours i've got-

Ever After
Fifth Element
X-men trillogy
Tru Calling*
Spider man trilogy
Dexter season 2
Buffy Season 2
Dresden Files

Part of me is cringing at the $100 I spend on dvds...But I don't want X-3, cuase I don't liek that movie and it was cheaper to buy the three pack then one and two individually.  But it's ok, becuase FYE said they're having a buy back sale soon, so it's going int he pile to go to them.

The part of me that knows retail value is dancing around giddy becuase most those I got under value.

*Technically I have a copy of Dark Angel, it came with Tru Calling...but it's for my sister's birthday...in a month.  I wanted to grab a copy before they stopped carrying them.
