I'm not saying to buy like...10 DVDs a day for the rest of your life. Just know what DVDs you want to buy, and prioritize which ones you'd want over others, while always taking into account how much you want to spend on DVDs in the first place. If you don't have enough for a particular title, then hold out awhile until you do. Sometimes you have to sacrifice the convenience of having some movies at your leisure for the necessity of having money to buy food/gas/utilities/etc.
Okay on all accounts, but let's not forget, especially in the case of Disney animated movies, the limited amount of time in which a movie is available (more specifically, when it goes back into what Disney calls "the vault").
Which is where the whole "budget your money" and "prioritize which you want" come it. If you know there are either limited copies (like Treasures) or limited shelf life (like Platinums), prioritize those over stuff that could always be available. And if it's something that's already been vaulted but you still want, be prepared for a higher price and set money aside for it, and search for it either at the aforementioned stores, or online from reputable dealers (for example, at UD disneyguy pretty much is the reigning king of selling OOP DVDs to forum members).

One thing I would like to point out is this kind of irony: classic movies (but especially Disney ones) are hardly ever shown on TV anymore, yet they're vibrantly shown on DVD. Why can't these movies be shown on TV yet can be shown on DVD? This applies especially to the Disney movies that used to be shown a lot on TV! What's up?

How can I be sure that the OOP DVDs aren't defective?
