I think Melissa over at “I am the Mama” posted about Red Box several weeks ago. I have had intentions of trying it for months now, but we kept putting it off, and finally, about 2 weeks ago, we tried it for the first time — and now I am addicted!
For those who have not noticed it, at the entrace of Lowes Foods and Walmart (and a couple of gas stations in town), there is a big giant red box with video covers on a sign around it. The deal is you can rent movies for $1 per day and then you simply return it back to the big red box. I worked at Video Wiz in college and I must say that I feel a little bad that I can be easily replaced with a big red box!! But is it brilliant. We have returned most of our movies the next day, but I have one currently that will probably end up costing us about $3.
You can go online to www.redbox.com to reserve your title before you even get to the store. This makes it very quick and easy. Also, if you visit the website, you get a code for a free night’s rental!
