K-Mart has dropped the price of the 80GB PS3 $100 bucks and it's now $499.99. I got a coupon for 20% off any single item so that will make it $399.99 for the 80GB PS3 which includes a free Motorstorm game.

K-Mart has a promotion (a lot of people dont know about it including a lot of the people who work there so you have to be VERY pushy and talk like you know exactly what's up).
For every $50 Gift Card you buy, you get $10 for free. So you are able to buy $50 Gift Cards for $40 and the Gift Card is still worth the $50.

So what I did was buy $500 worth of Gift Cards which with $10 off each one the total for the $500 in Gift Cards was only $400 out of my pocket. Then I walked to electronics and grabbed the 80GB PS3 w/ Motorstorm game. They rang me up and my total after tax came to $520.83

I gave her the 20% off coupon and the total came down to $415.84.

Then I gave her the $500 in Gift Cards that I just bought for $400. Leaving me with a balance of $84.15 for FREE and used that to buy me a blu-ray and another game ($80 value).

I bought around $729 dollars worth of PS3, blu-ray and 2 games for $400 dollars out the damn door!

Steal of the century :thumbsup:

Also got a Coupon with my receipt for $15.00 off on the next $25.00 purchase and a rebate where I can get 5 free blu-rays once I send in a receipt of the PS3 purchase!!! lol

You sound like a guy I sold a tire to last winter. Dude came in from 100+ miles away with his girl asking for a 36x13.50x20 and said he talked to a guy about a price match online for $8 over cost so I asked where he found it that cheap. He said he didn't remember but he needed this tire and didn't have time to waste. I finally got the name of the site and not only was the price wrong but there was $80 shipping for 1 tire that he somehow didn't remember seeing. I said fine I'll match the shipped price even with my tax added and he bought a gift card using out 10% gift card deal and proceeded to buy the tire. I asked the girl what she was doing later and told her I would buy her an entire steak and not use a coupon for dinner either. Dude got pissy and grabbed his receipt before walking out and yelling at his girl for looking at me, got a hell of a deal on that 1 tire tho.

You sound like a FW member and/or an SD member. Congrats. The coupon may be a YMMV though.

That is really good. Here's a good one too, two Memorial day weekends ago Best Buy ran a sale where depending on what you bought you got between a $10-50 gift card given to you after the purchase, on the spot. My friend and I took advantage of their stupidty. Needless to say I realized that all this expensive stuff I was buying wasn't what I wanted and I took it right to the return line. Stupid me, I just kept buying the wrong things multiple times and had to return them.

Best Buy bought my friend a new Escort Passport and I didn't have to worry about paying for Christmas presents that year.

I tried using the coupon at K-mart and they wouldn't take it. Said they didn't take online coupons cause they can be altered.

Also didnt have a gift card deal going on.

My kmart apparently sucks ass.

HA HA!!! Good one, they make enough money. Things when they come out with stupid gimmicks. The hoover company gave away a free airline ticket to New York, Orlandon, or somewhere else in America in England, when you bought a vacuum cleaner. They went under big time! Took Maytag down with them, that quarter. But they honored the deal for a long while

Sounds like a good deal. For you to have paid only 400 dollars in $50 dollar gift card denominations, you'd get 8 $10 off coupons for a grand total of $480 dollars in gift cards. No matter which way you look at it, you either bought 12 $40 dollar gift cards or you bought 8 $50 dollar gift cards. 480 minus 415.84 = $64.16.

729 minus 415.84 = 313.16. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell you bought 313.16 dollars worth of PS3 and blu-ray stuff for $64.16

nonetheless, congrats on a killer deal :beer:
