Prudent and Practical

Redbox has become my favorite way to rent movies.  It’s conveniently located in our grocery store, so I don’t have to waste time and gas going all the way across town to rent an overpriced movie.  The Redbox locations are usually in busy places that are open long hours such as fast food restaurants and grocery stores.  You can also see what movies are available at all kiosks and reserve movies from the comfort of your own home before picking it up.

The movies are only $1 + tax per night and I like this “freedom”.  I feel like I pay for the time I watch the movie.  With RedBox, I return the movie by 9pm the following night or I get charged another dollar for another night.  When I rent a movie elsewhere, I usually don’t watch it over multiple days – I watch it once.  At this point I forget to return it three or four days later, incurring another $4 charge.

In addition to the dollar movies, RedBox offers multiple ways to get one night free.
