Mini DV camcorder tapes

Options
Went to Argos yesterday to buy mini dv camcorder tapes.....2 for £9.99.

Popped into Boots on my way and found them at 3 for £8.99.

Does anyone know if there is anywhere to get them for less?

    If you want to order quite a few this is the best @ £1.35 a tape, but as there is £6 delivery (flat rate) you do need to buy in bulk.  10 tapes would be £23 inc VAT and delivery buy more and it gets better.

    Ebay is your best bet: you can usually get 5 Panasonic DV tapes for about £11

    Hi,

    Makro have TDK DV60 5-pack on offer from 6th - 21st Dec., for £7.99 ex VAT, so about £9.40 all in.

    These are the ones that came 'free' with the recent Sharp camcorder deal at Argos, but for which they normally charge £19.99.

    There, that's my 1st post done; hope it's of use to someone!

    Sainsburys had a pack of 2 Sony tapes for 90% off the other week. There were none on the shelf marked 90% off but the same packs were hanging on the end of the aisle priced at £12.99. At the checkout they scanned at 90% = £1.29 for 2 tapes. the checkout operator was a bit confused but when I explained she agreed that it was a good buy.

    I don't know if they have any left but it might be worth having a look or asking someone ?
    Your really can not beat a good bargain !!!
