Staples Clearance DVD +R DL Verbatim(3 pack) for $5.50

[myworld]

List Price was for $15.98 (approx) on clearance now...pardon me if this is a repost..
also they have DVD +R and -R 10 pack(Lightscribe) for $3.50(or $2.50) i was in a hurry to grab the DL's so didnt give much thought to it...

 

[cheapherk]

Whoa- it was $24.** last time I saw it there. GREAT price for DL.

 

[soundforbjt]

I cleaned out 100 Oaks in Nashville of the DL's.

 

[Super56K]

Dang, wish I had a Staples close by. I don't even care about the DL disks. That's an awesome price for 16x dvd-r's.

Woot i'm in on this! How many disks?

 

[wchou]

dl y but not double capacity.. only 8.5gb out of the true 9.4gb that it should had been if you multiply 4.7gb x 2 = 9.4
8.5 x .93 = in reality 7.9gb.

 

[Hacp]

Still 8 gigs is better than 4.2 gigs.

Use the $3 coupon from your empty ink cartridge to make it $2.50 (if it's in stock)

I cleaned out the Huntsville, Alabama, South Memorial Parkway store (4 packs). Couldn't find any at the North Memorial Parkway store, and didn't check the next nearest store (Madison, AL).

I picked up 8 packs of the DL discs at two stores in Frederick MD. Nice find OP. They also had 10 packs of regular 16x dvd+r (MCC 004) for $2.50. Hard to beat that for good quality 16x dvd+rs

 

[Pabster]

Verbatim are (IMHO) the best DL discs.

Definitely a hot deal (even without the $3 ink coupon )

I don't know about you, but my 4.7GB discs are only 4.37GB.

I don't know about you, but my 4.7GB discs are only 4.37GB.

4.7gb in decimal = 4.36gb in binary.

Yes your 4.36gb disk in binary (what Windows reports) has 4.7 billion spaces to hold a byte There is no missing space.

Damn...can you order these from their website? I don't think I have a Staples within 300 miles of me...

[dotcommie]

gonna clean out my store at work today.

 

[Hacp]

Dude don't clean out. You might live near me.

I'ma check if there are any right now! Gotta get in on this before other FWers/hot dealers do.

Found nothing at the Staples in El cerrito and Pinole, ca. They didn't even have a spot on the shelf or in the clearance sections. =\

 

[Vikroda]

Didn't have any at my store; however, there were two 10 packs of Verbatim LightScribe DVD+R's for $3.50 (as mentioned by the OP). I bought one of them for $0.54 after using the $3 ink coupon. I was going to get both of them but I already have too many DVD+R's as it is (and no LightScribe burner).

Just FYI -- in the stores where I've found these, they were NEVER located in the area where the other media is (so there wasn't a place on the shelves). One store had a cardboard display at the end of an aisle (printers, I believe), another had it hanging on pegs behind the counter where ink cartridges are located, and a 3rd had it on shelves up by the registers. None of the three stores had it marked as clearance (regular signage), but it rings up at national clearance price. So search around the entire store and you may find some.

Agh, I hope my local store has a few as I could really use some more free space on the HDs.
