Kroger Bargain Bin HD-DVDs

[Jeremy O'Brien]

Long time reader, first time poster here. I searched and I didn't see this anywhere yet so I thought I'd try and give something back to the community that has saved me so much money.

For whatever reason, Kroger is currently carrying HD DVDs in their bargain bins for 4-8 dollars a pop. I can't remember all of them but the ones I can are as follows:


Accepted
Alpha Dog
An American Werewolf in London
Animal House
Army of Darkness
Balls of Fury
Breach
The Breakfast Club
The Breakup
Children Of Men
Dazed and Confused
Eastern Promises
Elizabeth
Evan Almighty
The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift
Fearlesss
The Good Shepard
Half Baked
Hollywoodland
Hot Fuzz
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
The Kingdom
Miami Vice
Slither
Smokin Aces
Unleashed
You, Me, and Dupree



I'm sure there were more, this is just from memory. If I can remember more, I'll post them. I went to two on the east side of Cincinnati, btw.

[derspiess]

Whoa, nice catch. There are definitely some titles I want there. Mind if I ask exactly which locations you saw them, and where in the store? I live in Anderson Township, near the "big Kroger" :)

[Jeremy O'Brien]

Thats crazy, I live in Beechmont, right by St. Thomas Moore church. You are only five minutes away! Haha. Anyways, this was at the Eastgate Kroger (by Borders) and the Mt. Carmel Kroger (Old 74). I didn't check the one by Anderson Towne Center or the Amelia location, or for that matter the Mt. Washington Kroger.

Anyways, the two I went to were pretty well stocked on most of them. A few they only had one or two copies of though.

[lombarvm]

Picked up in Mishawaka, Indiana for $5.99:

-Slither
-Hollywoodland
-Hot Fuzz
-Alpha Dog

Thanks OP!

[MrDubbs]

Wish I had a Kroger around, would love to get a copy of Accepted

[maccabee72]

I went to 3 Krogers today in my area (Brazoria County, TX) and unfortunately, it was no go at all 3:cry:

[Trent77]

I work at for Kroger and can tell you all that they should be in most stores. They're sitting in a tiny shipper somewhere in each store. They should be located close to the big "Blowout!" bins.

[Friend of Sonic]

...Damn :/ I wish Fry's here would run that deal. We don't have Kroger's in AZ.

[Animal7390]

the closest one to me is in pennsylvania

[erehwon]

I managed to pick up An American Werewolf in London. It was the only one that interested me out of the selection at my nearest Kroger store. There is one other that I could check. Kroger bought out the scotts stores in my area. I wonder if they would have these HD-DVDs as well?

[blackhole82]

I've never even seen HDDVDs at my local Kroger. Would they get some even if they've never had any before? I might have to go check when I get off work.

[Jeremy O'Brien]

I've never even seen HDDVDs at my local Kroger. Would they get some even if they've never had any before? I might have to go check when I get off work.

I had never seen any there before either. I'm guessing since they are located in this "Blowout!" bins they bought they cheap after Blu won the war and are just trying to make a quick dollar. Whatever the reason, it worked I picked up about five when I went in.

[lombarvm]

They are also probably carrying these because the discs are dual-format.

[Mjolnir]

I just got back from a Kroger in Kentucky and they had these HD-DVDs. One thing I've not seen mentioned is that ALL of the available movies are Combo format discs, so they can be played on a standard DVD player as well. I took some photos so I could compile a complete list. I didn't get pricing on all of them, but this is a complete list of everything that was available in my store:

Alpha Dog - $5.99
An American Werewolf in London - $3.99
Army of Darkness - $6.99
Atonement
Balls of Fury
Breach
The Break-Up - $5.99
Breakfast Club - $3.99
Brokeback Mountain - $5.99
Children of Men - $5.99
Dazed and Confused - $3.99
Eastern Promises - $5.99
Elizabeth: Golden Age - $7.99
Evan Almighty - $6.99
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
George Romero's Land of the Dead - $7.99
The Good Shepherd
Half Baked: Fully Baked Edition - $3.99
The Hitcher - $3.99
Hollywoodland
Hot Fuzz - $5.99
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Jet Li's Fearless - $5.99
The Kingdom - $5.99
Miami Vice
Mr. Bean's Holiday
National Lampoon's Animal House - $3.99
The Scorpion King - $3.99
Slither - $5.99
Smokin' Aces
Talk to Me
Unleashed - $4.99
Waist Deep
You, Me and Dupree

Most movies were $5.99, with the high being $7.99 and t he low $3.99. My store did not have Accepted, which is a shame because I wanted to pick that one up.

Edit - Added Brokeback Mountain and pricing on Scorpion King.

[Animal7390]

i would pick up alot of these for these prices. damn regionalish deals.

[Jeremy O'Brien]

Mjoinir, where in Kentucky was this Kroger located? I wouldn't mind having Land of the Dead and since in live in Cincinnati, its only a 10 minute drive to northern Kentucky.

[Mjolnir]

Mjoinir, where in Kentucky was this Kroger located? I wouldn't mind having Land of the Dead and since in live in Cincinnati, its only a 10 minute drive to northern Kentucky.

I'm all the way down in Lexington. They had several (at least 5 or 6) copies of it though, so I'd be very surprised if other stores didn't have it as well. You may want to just check another store in your area or right across the river?

[IvanHood]

Nice, I was just about to head to a Kroger in NC to pick up some groceries. I'll check it out and report back!

Edit: Went to one Kroger in Durham, NC. No HD-DVDs, but a pretty nice assortment of overpriced standard DVDs. Thanks anyway, OP, I'll keep checking around here!

[Snake2715]

Woah Kroger here I come! Sweet deal we have a few around here. Nice catch.

[Mjolnir]

I checked two others stores in Lexington and neither of them had them out. I spoke to one lady who said the display was in the back and they just haven't put it out yet. So, we may just be getting in on this very early and most stores haven't put them out yet.

[Friend of Sonic]

Half Baked for 3.99? Damn it, I hope Fry's does this. It'd be the best media purchase in a grocery store since I found Super Dodgeball Advance for 7.99 in a Fry's Marketplace.

[mick16]

Anybody find these at Kroger's in Michigan?

[keiblerfan69]

My Smith's(owned by Kroger) out here in Vegas has them too, I picked up Fast and the Furious it was 5.99.

[derspiess]

I stopped by the Kroger in Independence, KY after I picked up my kid from the babysitter, and they didn't have any. Was going to stop by the Anderson Town Center location but decided to call first-- the person I talked to didn't think they had 'em yet but said there is a truck coming in tomorrow that might bring some in.
I'll try the 2 locations the OP mentioned tomorrow.

[sevin300zx]

I checked in the one near me in dallas and they didnt have any out.

Ill give em a few days. My hd-a30 disc drive just took a dump, so i've gotta get that fixed first!

[Snake2715]

Anybody find these at Kroger's in Michigan?

I will let you know today....

[thedream77]

Great find!! Over the past few months I pretty much gave up on adding anything to my HD collection, but found Hollywoodland, Tokyo Drift, Breach, & Good Shepard @ my local Kroger in Columbus, OH. The store had a bunch of other stuff already listed in this thread, mixed in with a bunch of regular DVDs. I remember when I paid $34.99 for Miami Vice & Eastern Promises @ Best Buy over a year ago, you win some and lose some...

[greyzieoriental]

My Smith's(owned by Kroger) out here in Vegas has them too, I picked up Fast and the Furious it was 5.99.

Which Smith's in Vegas? I may have to check it out, I wouldn't mind getting Fearless for $6.

[keiblerfan69]

Which Smith's in Vegas? I may have to check it out, I wouldn't mind getting Fearless for $6.

The store on Valle Verde off the 215. I didn't see Fearless there.

[Richlough]

Anybody find these at Kroger's in Michigan?

Dear lord , I hope so .

[talonthrawn]

Also awaiting some Michigan confirmation. I have ~4 Krogers in a 6 mile radius. So could be really really happy hunting for me.

[itlnstln]

I too have Kroger's in my reach(Bloomfield) - Michigander's please update with finds in the area!

[georox]

May hit a Kroger tomorrow...

[Animal7390]

if people are awaiting confirmation for michigan and they have some within a 10 mile radius, take the step and go yourself and report back. why would you not go yourself and just sit and await confirmation? seems silly to me. if i had a krogers within my radius i would go but i dont.

Being dependent on other people driving you a good answer?

[Richlough]

Michigan confirmed .

I picked up ,

Animal House $3.99
Half Baked $3.99
Hot Fuzz $5.99

[mick16]

Which one did you go to? I went to the one at 25 & Dequindre. No luck. I'll swing by others over the next week and see.

Southgate , they are in cardboard bins near the books .

Mjolnir, Which Lexington stores did you see these. I'm in Frankfort and will be in Lexington Thursday?? The reason I ask is there is a ton of Krogers in Lexington.
Thanks
D

[derspiess]

The Hyde Park Kroger didn't have them yet either, so I went to the Mt. Carmel location the OP mentioned, and-- Great Success! Picked up Dazed & Confused and Half Baked for $3.99 each, and got Hot Fuzz for $5.99.

Could have bought more, but I had to take it easy since I have about 12 or 13 HD-DVDs coming from that place that had free shipping if you spent $50.

[Snake2715]

Non near me, I have another Kroger to hit up and will report back.

[Animal7390]

Being dependent on other people driving you a good answer?

it works for now, i guess.

[Mjolnir]

Mjolnir, Which Lexington stores did you see these. I'm in Frankfort and will be in Lexington Thursday?? The reason I ask is there is a ton of Krogers in Lexington.
Thanks
D

You're in luck, as it is one of the closer stores to Frankfort. They are definitely in the store on Leestown Rd. near New Circle. They are not (or were not yet as of yesterday) in the stores on the north side of town along New Circle Rd. near Bryan Station and Old Paris Pike. I've not checked the other stores yet.

Also, I went back today and the Leestown Rd. had one copy of Brokeback Mountain that I must have missed yesterday. It was $5.99.

[HighlightShow]

The Kroger by me only has $9.99 Standard DVDs I believe. I will check next time I go though.

Thanks OP.

[derspiess]

Thats crazy, I live in Beechmont, right by St. Thomas Moore church. You are only five minutes away! Haha. Anyways, this was at the Eastgate Kroger (by Borders) and the Mt. Carmel Kroger (Old 74). I didn't check the one by Anderson Towne Center or the Amelia location, or for that matter the Mt. Washington Kroger.


My brother called me after he went to the Mt. Washington Kroger to tell me they have them. He was all excited about it & bought 6 of them just because he wanted the standard DVD.

I think I might be able to talk him into getting an HD-DVD player now to put next to his Blu-ray player.

[rexflexall]

The store on Valle Verde off the 215. I didn't see Fearless there.

Which Smith's in Vegas? I may have to check it out, I wouldn't mind getting Fearless for $6.


The Smith's I went to on Vegas and Jones had several copies of Fearless for $5.99. I picked up:

Half Baked-$3.99
The Hitcher-$3.99

[Richlough]

The Smith's I went to on Vegas and Jones had several copies of Fearless for $5.99. I picked up:

Was it the old C.Thomas Howell Hitcher ?
AKA the better one .

[keiblerfan69]

Good to know.

[rexflexall]

AKA the better one .

Nah it was the newer one. I like Sophia Bush. But yah, I heard the movie's not the greatest. But for $3.99 combo disc I figure I'd take the chance.

[Kakkarrot23]

This sucks as I wish one was close by. I wanted to pick up the scorpian king. The last movie I need to get on HD DVD.

[hiccupleftovers]

My Smith's(owned by Kroger) out here in Vegas has them too, I picked up Fast and the Furious it was 5.99.

Thanks for the notice! I was wondering about this. I might pick up a couple of i go to Smiths now.

[itlnstln]

NONE at the Kroger on Telegraph in Bloomfield Hills, MI.

Do you mind if I ask which store in Lexington you went to? I'd like to pick a few of these up. Thanks.

[Trent77]

A quick note for everyone. Try not to harass the employees too much. They're not in charge of the shippers. A vendor comes to each store and puts them out. It might be a week or so before they get all of the stores so be patient.

[Snake2715]

yeah 2 no's here now... lansing Mi

[talonthrawn]

yeah, im in lansing too, no go on the ones i checked.

[Vader582]

Was successful last night in one Midlo., VA Kroger while another store has yet to get any HDDVDs in-store.
Picked up:
The Hitcher
An Amer. WW in London
The Bkfst Club
Half-Baked
Animal House
Hot Fuzz
Army of Darkness

I wish I had seen "The Break Up". I would have loved to pick that one up for my wife.

[Trocar]

Saw some of these at the Ralph's supermarket in Fullerton also, specifically Hot Fuzz, Mr Bean, Fearless, Breach, Balls of Fury, The Kingdom, and Elizabeth.

[georox]

Monroe, MI Kroger - None

[smashingradioheads]

Saw some of these at the Ralph's supermarket in Fullerton also, specifically Hot Fuzz, Mr Bean, Fearless, Breach, Balls of Fury, The Kingdom, and Elizabeth.

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! I was hoping they'd have it since I thought I remembered that Kroger owns Ralphs now.

[jdeluis]

Saw some of these at the Ralph's supermarket in Fullerton also, specifically Hot Fuzz, Mr Bean, Fearless, Breach, Balls of Fury, The Kingdom, and Elizabeth.

Holly Crap! I have to go take a road trip to a couple of Ralph's. Thanks.:D

[smashingradioheads]

I checked two Ralph's in Anaheim, CA one big, one small(just on the off-chance) and no luck at either :( I'll have to go check that Fullerton Ralphs. What street was that on?

[Mjolnir]

A quick update on the Lexington, KY area Kroger locations.

New Circle and Bryan Station Rd. - No HD-DVDs
New Circle and Old Paris Pike - No HD-DVDs
Georgetown, KY - HAS HD-DVDs
Leestown Rd. near New Circle - HAS HD-DVDs (see my list above compiled at this store)
Beaumont Circle (off Harrodsburg Rd.) - HAS HD-DVDs
Alexandria Dr. - HAS HD-DVDS, listed below:

Accepted
Alpha Dog
Balls of Fury
Breach (3 copies)
The Break-up
Children of Men (2 copies)
Eastern Promises (3 copies)
Elizabeth: Golden Age
Evan Almighty (2 copies)
Hollywoodland (2 copies)
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (3 copies)
Jet Lee's Fearless
Miami Vice
Mr. Bean's Holiday (4 copies)
Slither
Talk to Me
Unleashed

Except where noted, they only had one copy of each. Some of those are common elsewhere (Balls of Fury) but others are pretty hard to find so far around Lexington (The Break-Up) and so far this is the only place I've seen Accepted in Lexington (I bought one copy, one is still there).

Also, Jughead, it was nice meeting you. Sorry I didn't notice the PM you sent, but good luck finding the movies you want. Hopefully everything you needed was still at the Leestown Rd. store.

[itlnstln]

Nothing in Grand Blanc, MI but a bunch of books in Cardboard Tables! Hopefully they are behind stocking Michgan...

[blackhole82]

I didn't see any at my local Kroger either :/ Lake Charles, LA

[theego204]

No sign of a any blowout bins or HD-DVDs at the Kroger at Winchester and Hacks Cross in Memphis, TN. We have several within driving distance, tho, so I plan to hit up some more before classes resume next week.

[bearkiss]

I was lucky enough to find most of the titles this afternoon in nashville, tennessee (but of course not all of them - especially a few that I really wanted!)... this store did not have them thursday afternoon but did today so apparently some stores are still receiving & setting up their displays!

[jdeluis]

After checking out the thread on DVD Talk, Food 4 Less is also included as on the stores Kroger owns. Might have to check that as well.

http://www.thekrogerco.com/operations/operations_grocery_locations.htm

[chimpster1313]

kroger in Cincinnati, Oh on Montgomery Rd. has no hd-dvds

[Shadowguitar]

I'll check the Kroger in Radford, VA and Pulaski, VA when I get back to college. Hopefully they'll still be there, but I'm not counting on it. Do you think they'll keep them out until they sell out of them, or will they just put them back to regular prices?

[donut]

Thanks Op!
Lots of titles.
Picked up-
Atonement $7.99
Elizabeth $7.99
Breach $5.99
Eastern Promises $5.99
Half Baked $3.99

Might go back for more, if so, I will take the longest list and see if more titles.
Please note Atonement ...

[Trocar]

Sorry, don't remember the exact street since I was only visiting a friend in the area, but it's the one that's very close to Fullerton (community) College. Hope that helps.

I checked two Ralph's in Anaheim, CA one big, one small(just on the off-chance) and no luck at either :( I'll have to go check that Fullerton Ralphs. What street was that on?

[whydoihavetoregister]

Pick up a few in Fort Wayne, IN yesterday. Scotts on Clinton. Most of the OP's list was represented. Thanks for the heads up!

[Vader582]

Midlo., VA:
Returned to a Kroger I had previously tried that did not have the HDDVDs the first go around. They had them yesterday, however they were not in a "BLOWOUT" bin as in the other Kroger. The HDDVDs were on a small endcap facing the main aisle in the DVD/magazine section of the store.

[chimpster1313]

found a kroger in hyde park plaza in cincinnati that had 9 different movies. i bought 4 hd-dvds and left 5 there

Children of Men
Eastern Promises
Hollywoodland
Slither

they also had

Breach
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Picked up

Fearless
Unleashed
Accepted
Smokin Aces

Balls of Fury
The Good Shepherd
Eastern Promises
Alpha Dog

[heghei555]

Kroger in Ann Arbor, MI at Jackson and Maple has almost all the HD-DVDs that have been listed here (no Good Shepherd, I don't think).

[jdeluis]

I checked the 2 Ralphs and a Food 4 Less around my area and only found 3 titles. They were Mr. Bean, Talk to Me and Slither. Did not pick up Slither, since i don't enjoy horror movies.

[mj1984]

Kroger in barboursville, WV has a ton of these with multiples of every title listed. Picked up:
Slither
Breach
Fearless
I now pronounce you chuck & larry
elizabeth

[fuerstma]

The Kroger in Commerce, Michigan had the bin. Last week I noticed it shopping but didn't stop. After reading this thread I made my way there this weekend. They had moved the bin (to the front of the store near the self checkout) but there were HD-DVD's in there.

I picked up Children of Men, Balls of Fury, Miami Vice, Eastern Promises, The Kingdom and Land of the Dead. All of the above were $5.99 aside from Land of the Dead which was $7.99. I would have passed on Land of the Dead at $8 if I noticed it earlier. I passed on Army of Darkness at $8, while I love the movie I have the DVD and the picture quality isn't A++ to begin with.

I noticed, from memory: Atonement, Breach, Fast and the Furious 2... quite a few others.

There was also a Boomtown Season 1 set (looked like 4+ disc set, standard DVD tho) for $7.99.

[itlnstln]

Commerce in on my route home - what road is that one on? Thanks for the update!

[DantheApe]

[ig88vsbobafett]

Cheyenne Wyoming has HD-dvds i picked up 9 of them they still had a ton left

[DantheApe]

the mud lane kroger has a big bin back by the sodas. with a descent mix.

I was able to get half baked as i had hoped...thanks op

[luvmysegadc]

FYI, I saw nothing at 65th/Keystone, Indy.

[chimpster1313]

i hate that these are all in different places. everyone on here says they're somewhere different and so i have to scavenge the whole store and STILL find nothing. ugh.

[DantheApe]

the bin was really hard to miss once i found it...it looks like it has to be moved with a forklift or one of those palate movers. I'm guessing the stores put it wherever they can

I would've probably bought more had my conscience not been in the store with me...my wife has been really helping my impulse-buying lately. I went in planning to get half baked and that's what i left with heh.

[benjam138]

I found a lot of the titles in Harris Teeter stores as well. I know they are in NC & SC at least. Picked up:

You Me & Dupree
Dazed & Confused
The Break-Up
An American Werewolf In London

Hot Fuzz
Slither

[luvmysegadc]

Nothing @ 86th & Township Line Rd., Indy (Willow Lake S.C.).

Has anyone found a Kroger's in the Indy area that has them?

[gothamcentral79]

The Fry's in Gilbert, AZ (Gilbert & Baseline) had pretty much everyone listed.

I picked up Hot Fuzz, Slither and Unleashed.

[DantheApe]

just a heads up, my brother picked up a pair of Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (one for him, one for me) and his didn't work. He tried mine out when i stopped by after work to pick it up and mine works fine...looks like there was a flaw in the pressing of his disc.

just a heads up about that movie

[r_a_baldwin]

Two of the Kroger's in Macon, Ga had the displays set up. The one on Hartley Bridge Road had a few titles, and the one in the Best Buy shopping center off Eisenhower Pkwy. had a pretty decent selection.

Also, I don't know if this is true anywhere else, but at these stores, the HD discs were in a display mixed with a bunch of regular DVDs, and if I hadn't moved a bunch of the regular DVDs, I probably wouldn't have seen the HD-DVDs.

[Friend of Sonic]

The Fry's in Gilbert, AZ (Gilbert & Baseline) had pretty much everyone listed.

I picked up Hot Fuzz, Slither and Unleashed.

THANK YOU! I'm so glad Fry's is getting in the game too. I checked one, but no luck at the Power and Baseline location. I'm going to check this out.

[guessed]

I hit a couple of Krogers yesterday, but only picked up standard DVD sets (Moonlighting s3 and s5, K Street, and Unscripted). I've found plenty of the HD-DVDs, but I've already watched most of them, and I don't feel the need to have them in my collection. I'd probably get American Werewolf in London and Animal House if I found them, though.

Has anyone seen any seasons 1&2 (1 set), or 4 of Moonlighting at Kroger? I'd love to complete the set for cheap, but I'd rather not go out searching unless I know there is a chance of finding them.

There were other standard DVD sets too:
Boomtown s1 (already have it)
Angels in America (already have it)
Mind of the Married Man s1 (considered it, but have only seen 1 episode)

Another one that I thought was a season of Providence or Judging Amy or something like that, but probably wasn't, based on my searches of amazon, ddd, and half.com. I'm pretty sure it was purple, if that helps ;). Anyone find other season sets?

[Richlough]

I found Army Of Darkness , still on the lookout for Breakfast Club & Dazed And Confused maybe even The Hitcher .

Mind of The Married Man is pretty good. I got it at Big Lots awhile back for $3. It's sorta like Sex & The City from a man's point of view. The only thing is there was a season 2 and they never released it on dvd.

[Friend of Sonic]

Cool, Fry's by my work was running it. Dobson and Ray in Chandler, AZ and the Fry's Marketplace on Rural and Ray. (the normal Fry's across the street on Rural does not have any HDs, so go to the Marketplace across the street)
Snagged Hollywoodland, Mr. Bean, and a bunch of others. Also saw Boomtown and snagged that. They had Malcolm in the Middel season 1, but it was 14.99 so I passed. I hope to find Angels in America. How much is that?

[guessed]

I hope to find Angels in America. How much is that?

I want to say it was $4.99, but I don't remember for sure. I know it was no more than $7.99.

I USED to live right down the street for a Kroger in Cincy!
Damn me for moving to where there is no Kroger (or even a Meijer!)

well i've been to about 6 kroger's in or around cincy, and only one had the hd's. so it's not THAT big of a loss.

[trabbahabba]

Nothing @ 86th & Township Line Rd., Indy (Willow Lake S.C.).

Has anyone found a Kroger's in the Indy area that has them?

The store in greenwood on Worthsville Road had them. Not Indy but pretty close.

[prayformojo]

Nothing in Nashville yet, i.e. Cool springs Kroger

[guessed]

Nothing in Nashville yet, i.e. Cool springs Kroger

5713 Edmondson Pike has them, and so does 5319 Mt. View Rd.

5771 Nolensville Rd does not.

I should know soon if 2284 Murfreesboro Road has them, my wife is there now. I'll update soon.

Edit: No bin at 2284 Murfreesboro Road.

[unjust]

I went to King Soopers in Denver and found a markdown Bin with the following HD DVD's .....

The Breakfast Club $3.99
Accepted $4.99
An American Werewolf in London $3.99
Mr. Beans Holiday $5.99
The Good Shepherd $5.99
Dazed and Confused $3.99
The Kingdom $5.99
Breach $5.99
The Hitcher $3.99
also on regular dvd Boomtown Season one 5 disc set for $7.99
They also had a bunch of other hd dvd tiltles but those are the ones I picked up. It seems all the King Soopers has some HD-DVD's.

Nice nice. AZ CAGs working together. :grouphug: I can't wait to go to the Gilbert and Baseline location-- you said it had a lot of what was already listed so it should be interesting. The two Chandler locations seemed sort of sparse.
Thanks for the info about the HDs and boxset. I hope they have some of the Moonlighting sets too. I've wanted to see that show.

[luvmysegadc]

The store in greenwood on Worthsville Road had them. Not Indy but pretty close.

Oh so tempting, but a little further than I wanna drive right now (my luck the next winning powerball ticket will be sold there).

Thanks for the info.

No problem, us Denver CAG's have to stick together ;)

[Stonecoldfreak1]

anyone in the dallas, tx area find some?

[Friend of Sonic]

Another one that I thought was a season of Providence or Judging Amy or something like that, but probably wasn't, based on my searches of amazon, ddd, and half.com. I'm pretty sure it was purple, if that helps ;). Anyone find other season sets?

Yeah, it's Providence. It's a collection of the best twelve episodes-- I passed on it for that reason. Then again, it is 4.99 so maybe I will try it.

I've picked up everything pretty much that people have listed as far as the boxsets go and passed on season 2 of Missing. I thought about it because Vivica Fox is fine, but then IMDBed it on my phone and saw what people rated it. Add me to the person wondering if the Kroger stores are selling the other two boxsets of Moonlighting-- luckily the first two seasons are in one set, and then there's season 4... but yeah only thing I've been able to buy is season 3 and season 5.

One Fry's I went in was running a badass clearance sale. Everything in the bin was 1.00. I picked up Coldplay's Viva la Vida album, Pauly Shore is Dead, a Yu-Gi-Oh DVD, and a few other randoms. Also managed to snag every HD I wanted on the list. Wound up with about 20 of them. I probably overdid it, but I did use flip money (GS credit into Wii Fits that sold on Craigslist for 100 a piece.)

[maccabee72]

anyone in the dallas, tx area find some?

I'd like to get confirmation of the deal anywhere in TX. I've been to 6 or 7 Krogers in my area and in the Houston area and have yet to find a single HD-DVD. I have a feeling this deal hasn't made it our way yet:cry:

Edit: Scratch that! I found some today in the Clute, TX Kroger. They had quite a few titles left, but unfortunately, everything I was personally looking for was already gone:cry:

[Sacsquash]

Went to another King Soopers in Denver

Everything was very well displayed along the wall at least for HD DVDs. They had several but not every HD DVD that was on the list. The wife wasn't with me so my instincts got the best of me, so I think I ended up spending a bit more than I planned.

Picked up:
Breach
Children of Men
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (For the wife, perhaps she'll forgive me)
Hot Fuzz (Tons & Tons of Bonus features definitely a must have)
The Kingdom
Land of the Dead (Already own the DVD but I like George A. Romero)
Smokin' Aces

It's funny I didn't own a single HD-DVD other than King Kong up until this sale and now I have over 10.

i feel really dumb going into the same kroger every few days looking for hd dvds. i'm not gonna ask anyone that works there, because i doubt they even know what one is.

[Sacsquash]

i feel really dumb going into the same kroger every few days looking for hd dvds. i'm not gonna ask anyone that works there, because i doubt they even know what one is.

Just ask if they have a dvd bargain bin, this will most likely unveil the HD-DVDs. At least this has been the case here in Denver.

[donut]

i feel really dumb going into the same kroger every few days looking for hd dvds. i'm not gonna ask anyone that works there, because i doubt they even know what one is.


Just ask at Customer Service which department would be in charge of DVDs (it's most likely GM now (General Merchandise)) see if a staff member in that department is working... ask them about the big display it's 4' x 4' of discounted DVDs and HDVDs, most staff members do not realize HDVDs are in the display...
and YOUR WELCOME to the Kings/Krogers members...
Grocery stores are Very easy to approach and ask for help...I grew up in grocery retail...who knows ...IF the display is still in the back (doubtful but possible) you might find yourself in the backroom finding the titles you want...tell em your sis works from Krogers in the Rockies....;)
Good Luck !

[doubledown]

Wow...how did I miss this. I was just in Kroger, but I never look at the DVD section there....

[IvanHood]

I just got back from the Kroger near New Hope Commons in Durham, NC, and they now have the HD-DVD bargain bin. I picked up Children of Men for $5.99 and Dazed and Confused, Half Baked, and An American Werewolf in London for $3.99 each. They had a pretty good variety (off the top of my head, saw Hot Fuzz, Eastern Promises, Smokin' Aces, and quite a few others).

[Justin42]

Has anyone seen these in any of the Los Angeles area Kroger owned stores, besides the Fullterton one mentioned earlier? (Food 4 Less, Ralphs)

[jdeluis]

Has anyone seen these in any of the Los Angeles area Kroger owned stores, besides the Fullterton one mentioned earlier? (Food 4 Less, Ralphs)

I checked the 2 Ralphs and a Food 4 Less around my area and only found 3 titles. They were Mr. Bean, Talk to Me and Slither. Did not pick up Slither, since i don't enjoy horror movies.

:D

[Snake2715]

Still nothing here in MI that I am finding, made another trip on Sunday morning.

[itlnstln]

There was a post that stated Commerce Township had some, but I have not found any in MI either. Maybe we will get the leftovers...

[mick16]

I hit a Kroger in Sterling Heights, MI looking to score, but alas, still nothing.

Not only do we have to live with a crappy economy, bad weather, and an 0-16 football team, now we get hosed on the HD-DVD's...

[Richlough]

I found some at Southgate and Lincoln Park .

[Justin42]

Finally found a Blow Out bin at the Ralphs in Granada Hills, CA (Devonshire + Balboa) in the back of the store near the pharmacy.

They still had around 20-30 HDDVDs, lots of the same stuff that I just bought at the Amazon/Closeoutmovies sale (argh!). I picked up Eastern Promises (Wish I hadn't, the disc fell out of the holder and is a bit scuffed on the HD-DVD side, not sure if it'll play and what their return policy will be) and Accepted. I saw Elizabeth:Golden Age (7.99), Miami Vice, Hollywoodland, Hot Fuzz, Children of Men (?), and some assorted others.

The bin was kind of falling apart and lots of movies seem to have fallen in and underneath it but I didn't feel like tearing the bin apart to see what treasures might lie underneath.

Were the playback issues with Children of Men ever addressed? I am debating going back to pick it up (not sure why I put it back, honestly) but it sounds like a lot of players don't like it.

[tysontomko]

children of men played perfectlyfine in my a2, havent tried the xbox 360 hd player for that movie tho, as far as returns, I had to return 3 of my hd-dvds, cas the fell out in the case and got scratched up and they had no problem replacing them

if any CAG is in the beckly wv area, the kroger across from walmart has all the ones listed as of saturday when i was last there

[PhotoMan]

My local Kroger, Calhoun Georgia, has them now. Sadly I couldn't find anything that I wanted. Animal House was the closest. It was always a favorite while I was in college.

[Friend of Sonic]

An interesting note is that I was in Albertsons and saw the same exact style of "Blow Out Bin OMG SAVINGS" that the Kroger brand stores have been using. Unfortunately, they did not have any HD-DVDs (or DVDs at all), but seemed to have the same books Kroger was selling in those bins. A small possibility that Albertson's may have DVDs or start rolling them out soon, who knows.

[lolwut?]

Anyone notice that some of the discs are fucked up even before you open them? I just opened all mine tonight and at least half had scratching on the top (DVD) side and the same goes for the bottom (HD-DVD) side, although not as bad on the bottom.

Is this why some people have a distaste for the combo discs?

[Richlough]

Most likely , my Knocked Up from my second '5 free' skips on the HD DVD side , but plays fine on the DVD side . :bomb:

I was hoping it would be a Kroger movie , so I could replace it , seeing how it's a Universal movie like all of the rest .

No problem, if you happened to go into the normal Fry's, let me know if they put a bin out yet. Otherwise, Marketplace across the way has a decent selection, but none of the 3.99 titles AFAIK.

[Snake2715]

thanks for the pic... finally an idea of what I am looking for... some people found them in the checlout aisle as well, lik ewhat next to the candy bars?

[DaFulla]

MI represent! I work in Maumee, OH a few days a week, so I hit a few on the journey over the past 2 days. The Brownstown, MI one (didn't find them,) Southgate, MI (about 10 titles left in the bargain bin like the picture,) Secor Rd Toledo (scarce pickings in the bargain bin,) and Airport Hwy Toledo (scarce pickings in a vertical box by candy bars in a checkout lane.) The quest for "American Werewolf in London" and "Animal House" continues.

[jdawgg76]

I guess they're still rolling out the bins. THe Kroger by my house didn't have this a few days ago and today there was a bin. Not many HDDVDs, but I did snag Scorpion King.

[sp00ge]

Damn the lack of Krogers in PA. :(

[chimpster1313]

finally found a kroger in the cincinnati area that had pretty much every hd-dvd that's been discussed in this thread. it's on springfield pike, in the low 10000's for anyone who is close by.

got hot fuzz, smokin aces, the good sheperd, accepted, land of the dead, and animal house.

[dcmoody]

I just came from a Kroger near my house; they have a few select titles, and I was able to get Hot Fuzz, Children of Men, Breach, and The Kingdom. This Kroger is on S. Moreland in Atlanta FWIW.

[luvmysegadc]

:bouncy::applause::whee:FINALLY!!!:shock:\\:D/:beer:
Kroger's @ 9835 Fall Creek Rd., Indianapolis (79th St & Fall Creek Rd. intersection) has them, all combo disc.

EDIT: The bin is somewhat hidden within the books, cds & dvd section in the front of the store. If you are facing this section, the bin is on the left closest to the self checkout terminals.

$3.99
Dazed & Confused
Half Baked

$5.99
Jet Li's Fearless (Unrated)
Hot Fuzz
Eastern Promises

More than I should have gotten, but whatever.

Multiple copies of other titles available at that store that I can remember off the top of my head:

Children of Men
Miami Vice
Hollywoodland
The Kingdom
Breach

[pvtpyle]

No problem, if you happened to go into the normal Fry's, let me know if they put a bin out yet. Otherwise, Marketplace across the way has a decent selection, but none of the 3.99 titles AFAIK.


FYI, I went to the Ray and Rural location today. They had re-stocked or added to the collection. I was there on wednesday and they didn't have much to pick from. This time they had most of the ones previously mentioned. The Hitcher and Dazed and Confused for 3.99 were ones that I looked for earlier in the week and they now had.

[M1C13]

Went to kroger in Monroe, OH. They had a bunch. Took a pic http://twitpic.com/178ws The pic shows one or two of each, but there were many more of each. Except for The Kingdom I got the only one.

I got

Army of Darkness
Alpha Dog
Children of Men
The Kingdom
Smokin' Aces

[doubledown]

I did not see any at my Kroger...although, maybe I just missed them. This was at the Harrison Twp. MI store....they had a bin of books, that was all I saw.

[Snake2715]

I noticed the bin, its full of books.

[luvmysegadc]

Damn the lack of Krogers in PA. :(

You've got Turkey Hill stores in PA -- they are part of the Kroger empire!

[darkasian]

Being more of a Gamer Bargain Hunter, I was bridged over to the HD DVD clearance frenzy about a year ago through the 360 player. Since then, I've gathered about 60+ movies of the stuff I want. I'd get a random movie here and there on Craigslist, but now I stumble into this thread after ignoring it for too long. Kroger? Really? I've got 2 within five miles of me. Cheap HD DVD's...stop calling me.

[heghei555]

The bin in the Ann Arbor Krogers is pretty picked over (it's been more than two weeks since I first saw it, after all); has anyone noticed a restock at any location, or was this a single push that will not be refreshed?

[theego204]

Finally found these in my area! The Olive Branch kroger (the one just off the interstate) has the HD DVDs on a shelf above the DVD display near the Pharmacy.

They were pretty picked clean once I was done, but I estimate they had about 20 HD DVDs left total. May be worth another look in a week or so...

I managed to grab for $5.99 each:
Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift
Slither
Hot Fuzz
The Kingdom
Hollywoodland

Thanks for the heads up!

[munch]

You can get most of those for $5.99 and no tax at Amazang, mang.

[georox]

Monroe, MI store finally got em, but someone somehow beat me to em, so all that was left for me to grab was Slither, or a million copies of Elizabeth.

Yeah I forgot my wife's card so I had to sign up for one of my own. I also found out that if you misplace your card you can type in you're phone number on the key pad before you begin the sale. This will take place of you're card and give you the additional discounts.

Not necessarily need to know info, but it would've saved me some time since I didn't have my wife's card handy.

I also have a bunch of HD DVD's and Blu Ray's I am selling (or possibly trading depending on the titles)

I'm local (Atlanta, downtown) I don't know how to contact you.

Found Mr. Bean's Holiday, now have to find Evan Almighty.

Glad I kept my Toshiba HD-D3 HD DVD Player.

If any of you live near a Fry,s Marketplace you may want to check there as well. Picked up Atonement for $5.99 and Eastern Promises and Talk to Me for $4.99 each on HD-DVD, they had several other title, but those 3 were the only ones I did not already have.

[Sacsquash]

Hit up another store today while running errands.

Picked up:
Brokeback Mountain
The Hitcher
and
Unleashed

I still can't find:
Animal House

Also if anyone can recommend Mr. Bean's Holiday I may just pick that up.

These are what, $3-$4 each at the most? If someone finds any of these (especially Army Of Darkness), happy to pay actual shipping + cost.

For a time I really wanted to pick up Army of Darkness on HD-DVD, then I read the reviews. Even the most barebones version of AoD on DVD almost has more features that the HD-DVD version. I'm a huge fan of AoD, but I just can't bring myself to pick it up. I just don't think it does it justice.

here's the review:

I'm an AOD collector, because Embeth Daviditz is a friend of the family. It makes for fun viewing when she comes to visit. I did manage to find Unleashed/Danny The Dog, but still no luck on the ones above. There's a bunch of copies of Chuck & Larry and Slither though, so if someone wants to swap for one of those.. :D

[jaysapathy]

I would also like to point out that at my Smiths, it's only 50% off with your Fresh Values Card. Otherwise, these ring up as sticker price.

[Indiana]

Has anyone in Indianapolis seen any of these displays? I've checked 5 stores and only the store on US 36 between Avon and Indianapolis has a display of HD-DVDs for sale.

I went to my local Kroger last night. Their bin was not marked 50% off. However, I used my Kroger Shopping Card on one of the HD DVDs and it did ring up at 50% off.

[doubledown]

Damn....I was just there today, but I didn't realize they were 50% off! I may have to go back.

They had:
-Accepted
-Slither
-Balls of Fury
-Children of Men
- Elizabeth
-Unleashed
-Fast Furious Tokyo Drift
and a few others....I wanted Dazed & Confused, but it was gone. My wife saw it yesterday, but didn't get it as she thought I didn't want HD-DVD anymore.

[Friend of Sonic]

They're 50% off? Holy shit, I wish I didn't go and spend 100 dollars on them when I did.

[jaysapathy]

RAWR

Finally found Army Of Darkness and Breach. Also picked up Atonement and Alpha Dog. Life is good.. Now if I could just find Fast Times!

[luvmysegadc]

I picked up a few titles at a couple of local Krogers stores for 50% off the marked price. One thing to note is that the 50% discount only showed up after using the Krogers Plus Card.

Dammit, they're 50% off now!?:bomb:
...Making me spend what little money I have....
I can't think of anything else that I want...unless it's "Royal Space Force":bouncy:, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

[chimpster1313]

i spent so much GD money on them already, and now they're 50% off. fuck my life

[Snake2715]

50% I better renew my search, still no luck at my local three..

[Justin42]

Just FYI, at Ralph's in Granada Hills (CA), the movies are 75% off **with your Club card** through 2/17! They were apparently picked over (no movies obviously out) but the last time I was there, a LOT had fallen between the cracks in the cardboard. I didn't feel like digging before, but today, being a shameless CAG I pulled up the panel (at the bottom) and dug out about 10 HDDVDs and picked up 7 of them (and wish I had thought to chuck a few under the box!):

Mr. Bean's Holiday - $1.50
Elizabeth: TGA - $2
Balls of Fury - $2 (disc was a floater but doesn't look toooooo scratched up, keeping my fingers crossed-- the only other one they had sounded to be a floater too)
Jet Li's Fearless - $1.50
You Me & Dupree - $1.50
Alpha Dog - $1.50
Chuck & Larry - $2

7 HDDVDs for under $14 out the door was too good to pass up, despite the fact I really didn't need all of them. Standards get pretty low at <$2 pricing. I actually only had 3 at first, thinking they were 50% off-- the cashier was blown away when I got the first 3 (as was I)-- he had told me they were priced as marked and wouldn't come down with a Ralph's club card (the look on his face was priceless)-- so I raced back to get all the rest of the movies that I didn't already own. The second cashier asked me "Are these the bluetooth?" uhm, not really.. the first cashier actually came over when he was done to watch me get 4 more movies at $1.50-$2, it was driving him crazy. (And he tried to explain the difference between HD-DVD and Bluray but was excited since these were combos so it didn't matter)

There is 1 Balls of Fury, 1 Accepted, and 1 Children of Men left (At least). There may be more that fell inside the box. ;) I stopped digging when I got a nasty paper cut-- decided it was time to leave!

[smashingradioheads]

So would this be going on at all Ralph's that carry HD-DVDs....or is this YMMV?

[Justin42]

On highdefdigest, someone said their store in Simi Valley also had 75% off. Not sure if it's chain-wide or not, though. There was a sticker promoting it on the sign in the box, but it listed UPC codes and the DVD UPCs were NOT among the ones listed. They still came up at 75% off though.

[smashingradioheads]

Eh I guess I'll head out to the closest Ralph's and do some recon work.

Ralph's or Kroger?

[smashingradioheads]

Bah, the Ralphs that I knew for sure had HDs are all gone now. Bummer.

[Justin42]

Ralph's or Kroger?

I was in a Ralph's... (they're a Kroger-owned chain in CA)

[gimmepilotwings]

At my Fry's, discs were 50% off.

[xoh96x]

At my Fry's, discs were 50% off.

Which fry's? The two here in GA are still regular price

[PhotoMan]

Just a little FYI.......

I was told by a woman who said she was the Kroger area merchandising manager, that the HD DVDs should be going back to the distributer soon. She seemed surprised that they were still in the store.

[gimmepilotwings]

Arizona.

Elliot and Alma School.

The Frys on Baseline and Country Club had quite a few of them, but they were not 50% off. The prices were $3.99-$7.99.

It started Sunday. The Kroger in Dalton had the whole bargain bin display pulled but the $9.99 movie "waterfall" racks stayed. If you want any of these HD-DVDs don't wait for another price cut, they are being pulled by the distributor.

[AlienHeadBoy]

I haven't seen any in Michigan yet (I don't have an HD-DVD player, but even for the dvd version some of those are pretty nice prices - if you can find them that is.)

[jdawgg76]

Said what the hell and bought Boomtown two days ago. When the kid scanned it, it asked for a price, he went to enter the sticker, I said, "These were half price the other day." Just so happened the manager was bagging at that register and he told the kid that they were indeed halfprice. Tried to buy some in Kingsport, TN last Sunday and they rang up full price and were very well stocked so some locations may have come to the party late and leaving later as well.

Was it in a bin or on a "water fall?" I picked up Boomtown for 1/2 also. My wife loved that series, so did I. She wants that Paula Dean set too but I can't find it now.
I picked up an extra Children of Men for any ATL CAGS or any others that might want one shipped cheap.

[Friend of Sonic]

I tried many times to get the HD DVDs half off, but never got in. But now it looks like they're starting to disappear-- found one bin and that was it. Glad I got in, but wish I got in at the 50% off mark. Oh well.

[h3llbring3r]

Waterfall? It was still in the bin, but strangely the outer cardboard "blowout signage" had been removed so it was just white cardboard with no indication of what was in the bin.

Water-fall display is what the guy called the vertical display rack with the DVD slots. The bins are what I was told were being pulled.

[jaysapathy]

My local Smiths has a bunch of HDDVDs still: Balls Of Fury, Miami Vice, Children of Men, Eastern Promises, Fearless, Unleashed, etc. Still haven't been able to find Animal House though..

[Richlough]

BUMP

I spotted a brand new bin at my Kroger , with different HD DVD's than the first batch .

[CaseyRyback]

Were they Universal only?

[Richlough]

Were they Universal only?

I think they were all Universal Combo-Discs .

I noticed The Hitcher [remake] and that wasn't in the last batch .

I live literally walking distance from the closest Kroger, so I was all over the last sale .

[h3llbring3r]

BUMP

I spotted a brand new bin at my Kroger , with different HD DVD's than the first batch .
Details, details, DETAILS!

[Richlough]

Basically the same type of cardboard on a pallet bin as last time .

I saw ;

The Hitcher
Elizabeth
Brokeback Mtn.
Jet Li movie
Tim Meadows movie

that's about all I can remember for now .
My hands were full and I had no cart .

Were they the same $4.99, 5.99, & 6.99 price points?

Was the Tim Meadows movie "Talk to me" ?

[Richlough]

Duh , I guess I left that out .
The pricing seemed the same as last time .

And just yes .

Alot of the other DVDs were newer previously viewed titles . Mostly stuff that is on cable now .

[h3llbring3r]

This is good news. Maybe I'll finally get an Animal House and The Hitcher is a definite buy, I was surprised at how much I liked that movie.

[Richlough]

Looking over the list in the OP, I can remember a few more .

Alpha Dog
Breach
Elizabeth
Evan Almighty
Hollywoodland
The Hitcher [remake]
The Kingdom
Slither
Talk To Me
Unleashed [or Jet Li movie]

I want The Breakfast Club and Dazed And Confused .

Dazed and Confused took me forever to find, I had to get someone to pick it up for me out in the boonies. The Breakfast Club I never saw in any of the KRGRs.

[JJSP]

I haven't seen TBC, but I know one of the local Albertsons has plenty of Dazed & Confused.

Other stuff I've seen is Scorpion King, Brokeback Mountain, Dead Silence, and Chuck & Larry. Bunch more, but those have been covered already.

[Sacsquash]

Nice to see HD-DVDs cropping up again, it's just too bad we're not seeing different movies than the last batch. I pretty much picked up everything I wanted when they all went Half-off during the last sale, if there's another half-off I may pick up some films I didn't care about just for shits and giggles.

On another note someone pointed out in a different thread that TJ MAXX has HD/DVD combos for $5.99, may be worth checking out.

I bought everyone I didn't have when they hit $2 & $3.

What titles did you see at TJ Maxx?

I never found and would really like:
An American Werewolf in London
Animal House
The Breakfast Club
The Breakup

I would gladly pay Media Mail shipping also.

[h3llbring3r]

I can confirm the following new titles for the OP list:
Brokeback Mountain
The Hitcher
Waist Deep

[xoh96x]

I got those the last time around, didn't notice they weren't on the list. I think they're just redoing all the same titles

[Snake2715]

I never found these movies... maybe I will make the rounds again.

[Sacsquash]

Haven't checked it out yet, but I'm speculating that it may be similar to Kroger is supplying.

[jdawgg76]

I was at Kroger today and this movie bin was marked as everything was 50% off of marked price so it has begun again. Too bad they only had slither, talk to me, and waist deep for hddvd. They had a bunch of good regular dvds like Maverick and Hancock and the Friday movies (although the first is by far the best), and a bunch of junk like the original Fun with Dick and Jane and ER Season 9. WTF am I gonna do with ONLY season 9.

Too bad for Slither? Hopefully it's bad because you already own it, as the movie itself is classic campy horror at its finest.

[Friend of Sonic]

Has anyone confirmed if they resurfaced in Fry's? (I know Kroger's got some)

[gothamcentral79]

I hope so too because Slither is far better then either Maverick or Hancock.

[h3llbring3r]

What resurfaced at Fry's?
They never left mine, in fact they are doing buy 4 get 1 free for HD-DVDs

[manthing]

I think he means Fry's Food & Drug

They're owned by Kroger.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fry%27s_Food_and_Drug

[Friend of Sonic]

Yep, Fry's Food and Drugs. I got in on the first round on HD DVDs, but I haven't checked during this second run (sounds like I'm too late anyhow)

[h3llbring3r]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fry%27s_Food_and_Drug

That explains why that weird Fry's logo is on the back of my Kroger Plus Card.

Also, the bin @ mine actually got restocked?!?!?!?!?!?

I found Amer. W.W. in London & The Break-up in the newly restocked bin (at the 1/2 price discount price :bouncy:).

[manthing]

I :pray: that if I hit some FOOD4LESS stores in Chicago this weekend, they'll have a bin.

I :pray: that if I hit some FOOD4LESS stores in Chicago this weekend, they'll have a bin.

Went to a couple Food 4 Less(part of Kroger) stores in the Chicagoland area this weekend, but found *0* :hd:

But it wasn't a complete waste. I got Krush Groove and Barry Gordy's Last Dragon DVDs for $4.94 each.
