Cheap DVDs

dvdSpanish newspapers often have promos with cheap, or sometimes free, DVDs at the weekend. Of course, you’ll have to pay for the newspaper too, but it often works out cheaper than buying a second hand DVD from Amazon.

The number of DVDs is limited per location, so it’s always a good idea to reserve a copy with your local newsagent. If you find out too late about a promo, ask at your newsagent as they may have some unsold copies or they can request a copy from the distributor. Although you can order a missed DVD direct from the newspaper, it works out more expensive as they will charge for packing and delivery.
