Woolworths (instore) DVDs - check the prices

I know most people here will buy online, but for those who actually do go instore for DVDs, can I just say to check around the shelves rather than just picking up the first copy you see of whatever it is you're shopping for.
I popped into my local branch this morning, looking for Alvin and The Chipmunks and a Peppa Pig dvd. Both were on the main/chart display, at 'apparently' special prices of around £8 each.
I just happened to look on the general alphabetical shelves too, and found Alvin at £6 (same dvd, just with a christmassy cardboard sleeve over the main case), and Peppa at £5 (again, the same DVD - The Balloon Ride).
Both scanned at their lower prices, and I know for a fact the higher priced Alvin scanned at the higher price as I tried to buy it at the weekend, but they couldn't find a proper (rather than display) case at the time so I left it, which now I'm obviously rather glad about.
Anyway, these can't be the only two titles where this is happening, so thought I'd give a heads-up to anyone else.
