Favorite Things: The Sound of Music (45th Anniversary Blu-ray/DVD Combo Limited Edition) 72% OFF

Posted on March 20, 2012 | Leave a comment

Amazon’s Deal of the Day is for The Sound of Music 45th Anniversary Blu-ray/DVD Combo Limited Edition at 72% Off for $24.99 (Regular Retail is $89.99). Do note that they were kind of sneaky with the pricing because if you spend $25 on Amazon, you’ll get free shipping. Since it’s 1 penny shy of qualifying, it might benefit you to find something else from Amazon for really cheap ~ like a song for 99 cents to get the free shipping.

~~Go here to learn more~~ This offer has EXPIRED, but Amazon still has a more streamlined 3-DVD/Bluray set ~ without the fancy box and booklets ~ as an option for $19.49. Click here).
