Save a dollar…
Posted on Mar 07, 2007 under Great Sites |We all like to watch movies. It just gets so expensive sometimes, especially if you have to go for the soda and popcorn. Now I know that renting a movie and watching it at home isn’t exactly the coolest or sexiest option combined with the fact that rental prices aren’t that cheap either. I’m writing about this odd topic to let you in on a great money saving idea.
In many areas of the country there’s a company called Redbox that has DVD vending machines in MacDonald’s or some grocery stores. These DVDs are only a dollar to rent for a day (which is all the time you really need anyway right?). But here’s the kicker. Visit www.insideredbox.com and you can get promotional codes that’ll let you get the DVDs for free for the first day.
Moral of the story: Have a great night at home with a free movie. Do it for free. And bonus, you have a fridge full of food right in the next room.

We don’t have any of those red box things at our McDonalds around here. We do subscribe to Netflix. It has saved us money versus renting locally because we have a monthly amount set aside and we don’t get late fees. I am horrible about returning movies, so for us it ends up being more cost effective. We love watching movies.
