Sony Blu-Ray 25GB Writable Discs - 5 Pack - 40p per disc - Sainsburys INSTORE £1.99
Don't know if this will appeal to many but its the cheapest I can find these, a store on Amazon is even selling a single pack version of these for £6.34 so for a 5 pack this is super cheap. Marked down from £8.99 on the shelf edge ticket but I remember when they first went on sale at sains and they were charging around the £20 mark. I can't see any sign of them on their online store so it must just be clearance stock in stores. Would of got a couple myself but I don't have access to a bluray burner so hoping this deal helps someone out there.
Update: Went in store this morning and the price has come down even further to £1.99, that's about 39/40p a disc. I can post picture evidence of this later or alternatively you could just believe me and buy some.

Not now lol but heat added for the price although not near me
My personal opinion is that Blu-Ray is on a long slow decline. DVDs were good and cheap enough for most people (both for buying movies and writing data on them) that Blu-Ray never got the mass acceptance to kick in the economies of scales needed for it to fully replace DVD. Now that movie downloads/streaming (both legal and illegal), higher speed broadband and very large/cheap/fast USB sticks are here, Blu-Ray remains quite an unattractive proposition.
Never mind that you can buy 3TB HDDs for under 120 quid that can store 120 of these Blu-Rays, then you can see that more than 1 quid per blank Blu-Ray (which is this offer price!) makes it uneconomic as a backup media.

...I appreciated his opinion, no need to be so rude.
@rkl
Yeah, the sad truth is that all forms of physical media is dying, with the only real reason to chose it over digital is for sentimental reasons (wanting to own a physical copy so you 'have it', etc.)
Sony just can't compete with the growing options out there, with flash media so cheap (as you said) and also cloud storage. Dvds and Blu ray don't have a chance.
I think that's partly due to consumers buying cheap laptops these days. Blu-ray drives are too expensive for OEMs to stick in a £300 laptop. :(
You realise this is a deal SHARING site, right?

Oh he knows. Don't feed it.

what type of discs are they, and where do you get them.
most cheap discs are useless, with many people reporting problems a few months after burning discs. i would be interested to know the ones you use, so i can do some research on them

This might be of interest. Works out at 60p a disc but obviously you would need to bump up the order value otherwise carriage wont be pretty.

I've got some at present but not burned many so far. They worked fine albeit took ages to burn (2-3 hours).
