First and foremost let me state that I love shopping at Borders... I'm just slightly annoyed by them at the moment. If you have a borders card then you are probably like me and you are constantly getting coupons from them either in the mail or in your email. I could waste a whole paycheck in this store. I love going in there but rarely do because I really don't like the thought of being broke. So today I dropped in there because I had a coupon for forty-percent off DVD sets. I am currently wanting the 3-Pack DVD of Star Trek that has "The Wrath of Kahn", "The Search for Spock", and "The Voyage Home" on it as well as The "Reba" series and the "Hero's" series, particularly season two. So I thought I would go over and check them out. Now I expect them to be a couple of dollars higher than Meijers or Walmarts. It just goes with the type of store it is. I didn't expect them to be ten dollars a set higher. Meijers has the Star Trek and Hero's sets for $29.99 each. So it surprised me that Borders had them listed for $39.99 each. Also I know with the forty-percent off coupon I would still get a savings because it would bring them down to $23.99 each, but it really irritated me and got under my skin that they were so marked up and probably due to the fact that they were going to run this little special of theirs. So as in I really need to watch my spending anyhow and I'm really broke this check I left with nothing. I didn't even look at anything else. It just plain aggravated me to the point that I didn't even want to be in their store. I'm just saying... Love Borders most of the time, but I am thinking it will be a while before I go back.

Sounds like items for your Christmas wish list to me!
Could be..
I have that very same complaint with Borders. Oh - and see me about "Reba" - I think I have a couple of (unopened) seasons on DVD that you can have free of charge - now let Borders beat THAT deal! :)
Too cool! Thanks!
target right now this week. so it would be till saturday has a pretty good sale on alot of their dvds. saw a double box sets and live 4 of the older movie dvds packaged into box sets for like 9.99 each. but, i am the target girl. and walmart is picking it up and starting to compete very well with target. especially in the larger womens wear. but, i am not buying any of that becouse....lol i'm trying to lose weight. never the less, between target and walmart i have no reason to shop many other stores. unless i have the coupon. got a lane bryant coupon the other day for 15.00 off anything for 15.00 to whatever. went in their and bought one bra. really ticked them off becouse they are really trying to sell the clothing. then i got my one free panty coupon from victoria secret. thats where all the young girls like to shop at. so i went and got my one free cotton panty and some hand lotion for my daughter for a chistmas thing. i should be getting some jc penny coupons soon too. i love these coupons. they are the bomb. but, you have to be careful when you are spending them. but, i do love borders too.
by the way i found it a little strange too about the march like weather. i think this is the first year it was more tornado season in the late summer. plus i am thinking that this winter will be a nasty one. i think when the weather changes big time to the coldness we in center indiana could be getting a tornado in the middle of dec, jan or even feb. and i am not talking about a small one. i am stocking up on gatorade, soups, and instent drink mixes slowly incase i end up petty sick this year and cant get out. even getting some extra toliet paper and the whatnot. its going to be an interesting winter.
