DVD
rentals are really taking off. My wife and I love movies. Up until a
couple of years ago a date for us was lunch (usually with a coupon) and a
movie matinee. Many times we would go to the second-run theater and pay
$1.50 per ticket. I can’t remember the last time we paid full price of
$12 or more for a
movie ticket.
We’ve
been known to see 30 to 40 movies a year in theaters. Lately, however, we
haven’t been impressed with
Hollywood
and go to only 6 to 10 movies a year. We still go on a date at least once a
week.
We watch
more movies on cable and enjoy some popcorn from the microwave. We’re
waiting for
Hollywood to come out with some good pictures. When they do, we’ll probably
wait and see them at the discount theaters.
DVD
rentals are available from NetFlix, Blockbuster, Redbox and
others. Vongo downloads the movie right to your computer.
Save money on DVD rentals
My
brother and his wife live in a small town with only one theater screen.
They have been enjoying NetFlix. NetFlix delivers DVD’s through the mail
with plans starting at about $5 month. He’s using the $10 plan which
allows him to have one DVD at a time with no monthly limit. We signed
up for the Netflix.com
3-at-a-time plan and are loving it well into our third year.
It can
be hard for a DVD to compare to the movie theater experience but then again
it’s hard to beat the convenience of watching a rental DVD in your own home
from your favorite chair with a nice cool beverage that didn’t cost $5.

great ways to save money.
