I always walk by this machine at Wal-Mart and wonder how it works. I know that my bff Chesley has used it before in her hometown. But whenever we rent movies I never think to find a redbox. My thoughts always go to Blockbuster. Well, not anymore! Ty and I went to Wal-Mart on Sunday and decided to try it out. We rented Tropic Thunder because he has been wanting to see it since it was released in the theaters. (It was an okay movie.) We went back yesterday afternoon to return it and decided to just rent another one. This time I got to choose: Hancock. I love any movie that Will Smith is in. He is my favorite actor.I went on their website last night and discovered that their is a redbox machine even closer to me than the one I had originally used. Yay! And if you go to their website and enter your e-mail address they will give you a promo code to use for a free rental.
All you have to do to get a movie is slide your debit/credit card. They charge you a dollar per night. The movie has to be returned the next night by 9 pm. It is so easy and cheap! Especially compared to $4.99 for a 2 night rental at Blockbuster. I'm so glad we tried it!
**It was so nice to have yesterday off due to icy roads, but it is back to work today. Ah, man! I was pretty disappointed when I checked my e-mail this morning and saw that we were to carry on as usual. I could get pretty used to staying at home every day.**
I know, arent they great! The hubs and I ALWAYS rent from there now adays, and you want to know a secret ... most Tuesdays, there is always a promo code for a free movie!! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the redbox - my hubby and I are always stopping by there. You can actually reserve titles via their website too. We did that last week and it worked out great. Very economical! :) I'm glad you have discovered it!
ReplyDeleteoh i LOVE the red box. well i think i like netflix better, btu if you are planning on only getting a couple movies then red box is much better!;)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried the Red Box. I'm going to have to look into it now!
ReplyDeleteAnd our stockings are from Ballard Designs. They have great Christmas stuff!
I'm going to have to give that a try next time I go...I always look at it, but I haven't tried it yet.
ReplyDeletei love redbox! we have one right by our house. its way better (and cheaper) than blockbuster!
ReplyDeleteI've never used the red box. But I stare at it every time I pass one.
ReplyDeleteAren't they great?!? It definitely makes deciding what to do on a boring weeknight a lot easier!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I have never tried it but we have one at the McDonald's near our house (like I need the temptation to eat more fries at McDonald's...) Maybe I will have to try it!
