The ravings of a Stargate whore
Beth and I went to Costco tonight to do a little shopping. (Side note: Costco as a name seems contrary to me. It seems like it's gonna cost me to shop there rather than the true intent of saving by buying bulk.) While there, we took a gander over their DVD selection just for kicks. Normally, I've found that you can't beat Deep Discount DVD for prices (theirs include shipping), and as such I buy most of my DVDs through them.
However, we found an incredible bargain tonight. Seasons 3 and 4 of Stargate for $39.99 each (1 and 2 as well, but we already had those). What's more, if we bought both, we got an additional $10 off, so that's $70 for both seasons. That blows away the best price I've seen by quite a large margin. I've stated before my preference to SG-1 over newer Star Trek, so the price-per-season on this compared to, say, DS9 is incredible to me.
Anyway, I just wanted to pass the savings on to you, the reader. :-)
Comments
I always seem to spend way more at Costco than I would at a regular store. Although per item cost is cheaper, you usually have to buy stuff in bulk (or, American Size as we say here in Canada). Rather than buy a 6-pack of toilet paper, you have to buy 24. Instead of one small container of light cream cheese, you buy a package of two extra large light cream cheese buckets.
We go to Costco to save money, but always end up dropping about 300-400 dollars. How does that work?
