If I saw them staring at me, I would call them over when I finished and ask them to help put all the DVDs back in the bin. If Walmart creates a problem, they shouldn't be too surprised if some customers figure out a way around that problem.

I used to dive bomb in that bin but lately I've been getting the DVDs at pawn shops for even cheaper prices. Since I wasn't a movie goer the shops are a gold mine.

Right now I have over 600 (titles) DVDs and since the cases are bulky I tossed them and kept the DVDs on spindles.

Relax, I have a database.

I go to pawn shops also - $2 for DVDs there. I toss the cases and put them in DVD albums.

I got mine at $.99 to $1.99. I wait for the higher priced ones to go down, they always do.

I have a 128 disk wallet as well. It's almost full of the least liked DVDs and not in the database. I keep my favs on the spindles all in alphabetical order and in the database.

The local walmart where I live has all the cheap ones in cases on a shelf. The problem with those without a case is you couldn't see them in a standard shelf and they'd take up a lot of room in some type they could. Dollar general has them too, but its in a case where they stack but for a large case it doesn't hold a lot.

I'm used to going through the candy bin for peppermint patties which are always in short supply so I look upon it as a hunt for treasure like they have in those mysterious boxes with a dollar a piece written on them in thrift shops.

The kind the local Dollar General uses has a flat display where they keep it filled as sold. The problem is the titles are on the front and its going to eat up space for not much $$.

Right now the local walmart is having empty shelf syndrom so I wouldn't count on a shelf even getting filled if they leave the milk case half empty.

At my local Wally World, the $5 bin is full, while the "new releases" and new titles remain pretty bare.

I've found some good deals in the $5 bin. Usually something I've been looking for.
