I love movies. One of my favorite things to do on the weekend is to sit at home and watch a movie on my large screen television. I have got a substantial collection of movies to choose from, so I can usually find something to suit my mood. And watching at home means I can sprawl out on my couch, and be comfortable.
But buying all those DVDs can be expensive. There are a few ways to enhance your collection while keeping your expenses down.
I usually like to check out the clearance rack at Target or one of the other discount chain stores. I find they often have a bunch of movies for under $5. Usually these are old movies, or movies I have not heard of before, but this is a good way to watch something I would not necessarily try. I have gotten a few fun movies this way.
Used DVD stores are also popping up. Since they do not buy retain, their inventory varies greatly from week to week, but they have really great prices and this is a great way to find movies that you might not see at your local retail store. Another added benefit of the used DVD store is that they will buy your unwanted movies from you, provided they are in good condition.
Another great place to look for bargain-priced DVDs is at DVD rental stores. They usually try to stock a ton of first run movies so that their customers do not complain when they come in for that latest release. After the rush is over they usually only need a few copies of that movie on their shelves; so many of these stores sell their excess inventory. You can usually get a pretty good deal on a newer release after only a few weeks.
If you are still looking for ways to get DVDs for less, you may want to check out some of the discount stores online. Or even stores like Buy.com. Do not forget to factor in shipping costs. They can add up and make the cost of that DVD more than you can get it for at your local retailer.
Warehouse stores are another great source for discount DVDs. You can often get movies here for a few dollars less than you would pay retail, but the selection is often limited.
If you find that you cannot wait to see that movie and want to get the DVD as soon as it is released, you may still be able to get it for less. Shop around. Many stores offer first run DVDs at discount simply to get you in the store. If you do a little work, you can usually find your movie for less
