NOTES
-Any deal that includes price-matching is obviously YMMV. Depending on what store you go to they might be prickly about a deal that involves both coupons AND pricematching. I know that the Target I shop at will allow me to do deal #1, but other people will have various success.
IT'S UP TO YOU to decide whether it's worth venturing out to your local Target/Best Buy to see if you can successfully get deals 1-2, or whether you don't mind spending extra money for the convenience of Amazon.
-If you do deal #1, you will need a
physical copy of the weekly ad from Best Buy that store's prices in order to pricematch. These ads can probably be found in your Sunday newspaper.
-I did not include any Amazon deals that involve the "Snow White Thanks" promo as that is exclusive to a select few people.
-I did not include any deals at Wal-Mart as their B&M prices for Up and Monsters Inc are still unknown.
-I did not include any deals from Toys R Us because, well, they don't have any good deals.
