Sanity Civic closing down sale 50% off everything

The Simpson’s Movie. Hah! No thanks.

Hate Sanity. They sell nothing but the most mainstream possible stuff – which their taregt demographic probably downloads from iTunes anyway or can buy at Target for half the price. Haven’t seen anything I wanted there for years.

Go to Abels for range, JB HiFi for price. And the JB online site is fantastic – well, not the most user-friendly search mechanism, but absolutely anything you want sourced quickly and delivered cheaply. Love it.

hingo you are spot on, sanity is a complete rip. i have a staff discount card (my sister works for sanity into another state and nominated me as the other discount card holder) and STILL with a 25% discount i rarely bought anything from there, because even with that discount, it was still more $$ to buy there than other places in civic. even today i perused the stock (which by far seemed to be complete overpriced crap they probably can’t move from any of their stores) and didn’t buy a thing – that is with a combined 25% and 50% discount! sanity will not be missed at all.

They had at least 8 copies of The Simpsons movie there at lunchtime today.

Well, they did have the Simpson’s DVD’s for 30 bucks. I don’t even think they have them anymore. But that’s the only reason I ever went to any of their stores in the last 5 years. JB sells them for something like 50, or some ridiculous price.

“But the bookshop across from it closed.”

There’s a theme here. Sanity sucks as a music/DVD shop. Angus and Robertson sucks as a bookstore. Their new store next to Aldi is just crap.

Sanity is still open in Queanbeyan (Riverside). I saw it there last weekend.

50% off everything (but still more expensive than JB Hi-Fi’s normal prices). I don’t know how they managed to stay open for as long as they did. I only buy stuff there if I was given a gift voucher and I still leave feeling ripped off.

Sanity in Queanbeyan shut down not too long ago as well.

If Landspeed sold movies I’d buy them there; I do most of my CD shopping there – actually probably a 50/50 split between JB and Landspeed. Landspeed doesn’t have the same quantity and selection as JB but they always seem to have the CDs I want.
