DVD Awesomeness: 2 Great Deals!

My friend Micael, at Saving Obsession always finds and comes up with the best deals!

Anyway, the deal of the week this week is amazing! There are two DVD deals you wont want to miss.

(1) Now listen. If you’ve been following my blog for a little while, you may know my little secret: I love Disney. It seems March has been filled with Disney goodness for me (getting 3 new dvds before they went back into the vault, getting Ponyo on my birthday, going to Disney World, and now this)! Ok, enough of that. I know you want to know what in the world DVD Awesomeness is about. Well here you go!

I saw this post on IHeartSavingMoney for a dvd deal. Basically I followed it, and here’s how it worked out for me!

On Monday night I went to Toys R Us and did the following:

Got Princess and the Frog dvd (Blu Ray combo was sold out*) – $19.99
Pre-ordered Toy Story 1 dvd/Blu Ray combo – $5.00 (deposit)
Pre-ordered Toy Story 2 dvd/Blu Ray combo – $5.00 (deposit)
Total before discounts = $29.99 + tax

-Received $15 off any Disney Princess movie instantly when pre-ordering both TS dvds.
-Had a $15 gift card from birthday
Total OOP after discounts = $0.64

*I was thrown off because the PATF combo packs were sold out, so I couldn’t use my $10 off PATF coupon. This is resolved later….

Today I went to pick up my TS dvds. (And by I, I mean ‘we’ since I was hanging out with a friend and she was doing the same deal.)

Toy Story 1 – $29.99
Toy Story 2 – $29.99
Total before discounts – $59.98

-Received $26.00 discount for buying both TS1 and TS2 at the same time (making them just $16.99 each)
-$10 credit (for deposits when pre-ordering)
-Used $10 off TS1 coupon
-Used $10 off TS2 coupon
Total OOP after discounts – $3.98 + tax

Now here is the messy part:
When I bought PATF because the combo pack was sold out, I couldn’t use my coupon. I did have a $5 off the regular dvd for PATF. So I brought that in with my receipt and they gave me $5 cash back. They also did not give me my free Princess jewelry box for purchasing a Princess movie, so I got one today. There was a small snafu that’s too much to blog about, but long story short, I have a $10 gift card to Toys R Us.

Added bonuses:
Each TS dvd pack comes with a ticket to see TS3 for free!
I will also be able to send in for each of these PATF rebates:
–$5 off for purchasing PATF plus 2 Band Aid products
–$5 off for purchasing PATF plus 2 Success Rice products

Final Round Up:
I got Princess and the Frog dvd, Toy Story 1 dvd/Blu Ray combo pack, Toy Story 2 dvd/Blu Ray combo pack, a Princess jewelry box, 2 movie tickets, a $10 gift card, $5 cash back and I’ll receive $10 total in rebates.

Overall value: $124.96
OOP: $0!!!!!!

Now tell me why it is people say couponing isn’t worth the time??

(2) Today Toy Story 1 & 2 are being released from the Disney Vault (yeehaw!).

I managed to score a last minute deal on my copies (plus Princess and the Frog, but I’ll post about that later)

Disney wants to reward you with upgrading to the new dvd/Blu Ray combo backs with $10 off EACH movie!

All you have to do is go to Disney Movie Rewards and enter the UPC code from each of your movies to get the coupons. Many stores are having sales, so at $10 off a piece, you should be able to score a good deal!
