We got two of the 5 shelf book shelves a couple of weeks ago for $20 each. Thought it was a good deal then. They never would have lasted another drop here, nothing does.

Hey looking at all these HDTV Antenna clearances... Is that black one any good?

Want to replace mine at home...can't pick up ****!

Let me know.

P.s: You guys know if there is a way to check individual store prices without going there or call them?

Is there a way to check the price via wireless outside the store, after the store is Closed?

Same here. People see stuff for 30% off and they go apeshit over it like it's the best deal ever.

That's because they never got free games or a computer for like 40% of what it would cost you to put it together yourself! On the other hand, if everyone was like us we'd never have a chance at these kinds of deals.

I took home 12 PB Twixes for 32 cents each...lol

There was also some stride gum for 50 cents but I already had a lot of gum at home.

Exactly. Without the normal shnooks buying stuff at MSRP most times, our economy would've collapsed a long, long time ago.

My main concern now is Starcraft 2. I really enjoyed the original game so I really want to buy the 2nd one. It's actually the first game in a long time that I want enough to consider paying full price for. Now the key word there is consider because I'm not totally decided. I'm hoping that one of the stores (like maybe Target) will have a $10 gift card with it's purchase the first week. I'm also considering just holding off till it's cheap even though I want to get it when it's out in a couple months. WWIATCG do?

Haven't seen any good deals on games at any of my Targets around me for weeks. But I was able to get two 500GB WD external hard drives for $17.48 each.

Saw a copy of resident evil 5 for ps3 in Montclair for 20.98. beatles rockband game was also 20.98, and one other game i can't remember, but it was a disappointing clearance end cap.

Then, I went back to Target and convinced the manager to let me rebuy the monitor I just returned about an hour earlier....for $42.39 out the door. Yes. It was quite a hassle and I could've been completely denied, but considering this monitor was open box when I bought it, I refused to pay any more than $20-40 or so for it. And today I got my magic price to keep it. For those looking for Bayonetta, try your closing Hollywood Video/Gamecrazy stores. My local store has 2 copies of Bayonetta for PS3(disc only with those annoying half coverart/half instruction manual cases). After the 60% discount off of the $49.99 pricetag, they would be $19.99 each.

Wow penny guides must occur on the east coast i've yet to see any of my local best buy sell them at that price.

I got Bayonetta (PS3) for 14.98

Hmmmmm ... discounts on a game that hot ... I would say that's highly unlikely. I suppose it's possible if say, Walmart and Amazon go head to head, but I can't ever think of a time Target offered a decent discount on a hot new title during the first week. And when I say hot, I mean ... like ... pokemon hot, Halo hot .. you know, those releases every few years where you're probably going to have to pay msrp.

I think your best bet right now is to use GS.com and put their coupons to use to knock some $ off Starcraft ... The problem with games like Starcraft is that you have to find a deal that will apply to Starcraft but isn't only for Starcraft, because most companies know that certain games will sell, regardless of any discount. Starcraft is one of those games.

Oh, I bought 3 clearance items Monday on my way home from work about at 8 pm. Resident Evil 5 for $14.xx was easily the second best video game deal I've found at any of my local targets (the other was Bigs 2 about a few months ago for <$5). I saw RE5 there about a week prior for $15 and let it go. There were 3 copies there and I thought I might get it after another drop (though nothing lasts around here on clearance). Truthfully I don't need any more games, I have plenty that I have half played through, then just quit (good games too like Bioshock, MGS, half life and portal on the orange box, to name just a few). I was content to let it go, but I stopped at a handfull of other Targets over the weekend while driving out of state for a wedding and looked for it and never saw it. Come Monday I did my usual Target drop by just to make sure there are no good clearance deals and there it was, only one copy left, still at $15, so I bit. I even felt bad at it but I couldn't pass anymore. Someday I might actually play it. I also picked up some "Smokin' Buds" Skull candy earbuds for $15 from $30 (not really that great of a deal as they aren't much better than the other skull candy buds that I got for retail ~$13), and a screen protector for my ipod touch for $3.xx (retail a rediculous $15, tons of these).

Wow ... really ... because I found this website that's selling Demon's Souls for $2.50 ... I'm going to make another thread about it ... if I can sort through all the other Demon's Souls threads currently on the 1st page

Final Fantasy 13. Almost every store gave a gift card with purchase.

Are Smokin Buds the same as the Ink d ear buds that Skull candy puts out. If so then I'd hang onto the receipt, because the ink d are regularly on sale at FYE stores for $9.99. But now that I look into it these may be different from the ones you bought as I think your Smokin Buds come with a volume control on the wire right? I've seen reviews where they preferred the ink d brand by Skullcandy for comfort and sound.

Just FYI.
