Meanwhile, Goodwill locations lowered their DVD prices to 2.00 each, including Blu-rays, and no tax.

Sadly, Ontario lost most of our Goodwills a few years ago when they abruptly closed a bunch of locations. I believe they have opened in Mississauga but I have not visited that store.

A few VVs in Toronto have all items priced with a sticker as they have moved to the self-checkout module. So all cassettes, CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays are priced.
