From LoveToKnow Save
If you’re a true movie buff, discount DVDs can help you keep your household budget under control.
Finding Online Bargains
The Internet has made it easier than ever to build your own personal DVD library. Whether you’re interested in romantic comedies or sci-fi thrillers, it’s easy to find the movies you need at the price you want.
If you’re interested in buying discount DVDs online, check out the following helpful websites:
- Amazon.com is well-known by savvy web shoppers as a great place to find bargains on everything from DVDs to cheap books.
- Buy.com may not have Amazon’s name-recognition, but this up-and-coming site offers great deals on a variety of DVDs.
- Deep Discount DVD has an extensive selection of affordable movies, as well as a number of video games. If you’re concerned about the safety of shopping online, you can request to take advantage of the site’s “Buy Now, Bill Me Later” payment option.
- DVD Pacific offers discounts on new releases, as well as a variety of older movies. The site also has an extensive collection of special interest DVDs in categories such as anime, foreign films, and gay/lesbian themed films.
- DVD Empire sells a wide selection of discount DVDs, including a number of discs in Blu-ray and HD-DVD format.
Of course, you should always factor shipping charges into your purchasing decision when you’re looking for the best deal on your favorite movies. Some sites will offer free shipping for all orders, while others will require a minimum purchase or a special coupon code. Read the company’s policies carefully before placing your order.
Movie buffs who are willing to do some comparison shopping will want to check out Bargain Flix. This useful resource lets shoppers compare prices on a specific movie at up to 15 different retailers. You can also use the site to search for sales, coupons, and other special offers.
Other Sources for Discount DVDS
Although it’s certainly convenient to purchase discount DVDs online, there are plenty of other ways to add to your movie collection. For example:
- Take a trip to Wal-Mart! If you only go to this discount retailer to buy toilet paper and shampoo, you’re missing out on some great DVD bargains. Wal-Mart has a number of DVDs for less than $10. You won’t find the newest titles and it may take you awhile to find what you’re looking for, but this is a great way to purchase children’s movies and inexpensive gifts for your family and friends.
- Most people know you can rent movies at Blockbuster, but many people fail to realize that video stores are great places to buy used DVDs. Since each store can only display a limited number of movies, they frequently sell their older titles at rock-bottom prices.
- When you’re searching for discount DVDs, look beyond the obvious. You can often find great DVD bargains at thrift stores, consignment shops, and garage sales. Just remember to check each disc for scratches and other signs of damage.
Check Out the Library
If your not in the mood to buy, just to watch, head to your local library for discount DVDs. Rental fees are often $1 each, and some branches host two-for-one days, when you can rent movies for 50-cents. The rental period is usually the same as checking out books and other multimedia. If your family watches a lot of children's DVDs, this is a thrifty way to entertain the kids with a variety of choices.

Have you tried a nearby dollar store, or checked with the library to see if they are closing out some titles? Now would also be a good time to scour garage sales.
