Redbox
As new parents, the hubby and I haven't had a chance to go to the movies like we used to. That's okay though because now we spend our Friday nights renting movies from the local Redbox. Redbox is basically a DVD rental vending machine. Ours is located at our local grocery store. Rentals cost only $1.05/night. Returns are due by 9PM the next day. You can also sign up for their free Monday night rentals where they text you a promotion code that is good until midnight. The machines are stocked with the most recent DVDs and a couple of classics. Since we haven't been able to go to the movies, it is a great way for us to catch up on everything we've missed. Most recently we've gotten a chance to watch SlumDog Millionare, Marley & Me, Milk, and Changeling. If you want to reserve something in advance, you can do it on their website which makes checking out even quicker. The only negative to Redbox is that on Friday and Saturday nights it can be so popular that a long line can form so if you have a particular movie in mind, be sure to reserve it online first or get there early.

yup! sometimes our closest Redbox at Wegman's FFX is out of stock of the most recent movies. We're gonna have to start stealing them from Brambleton when we visit. We love Free Mondays!
ReplyDeletehaha I didn't know that's what they were called. we used it a few times near alvin's place and we just called it the dollar dvd machine :) does it actually say redbox on it?
