If you’re in Sanford, you’ve probably seen one of these DVD rental machines…there’s one in Lowe’s Foods, one at super Walmart and a couple in gas stations. We decided to try it out tonight, and other than being sold out of the movies we had at the top of our list to see, it was really easy! I reserved it online, my husband left immediately for the grocery store (5 minutes away) and it was all ready to go. You can get a promo code if you sign up on their website (www.redbox.com) for a free rental. They’re only $1/night so if you’re like us and rarely rent movies it seems like a really good deal. I dropped Netflix a few months ago because we just weren’t using it anymore and I thought this would be a good substitute! Since there are no movie rental places on our end of town (that I know of, anyway) this is very convenient and super easy.
Has anyone tried it already? What did you think???

We use this all the time – twice this week, in fact. So far we’ve had no problems, and the new feature allowing you to reserve online is awesome. Just note that Redbox puts a $1 per night hold on your credit or debit card, which disappears about two to three days after you return your movie.

We tried it last night for the first time! Ross went and rented Baby Mama. He tried to pay cash and couldn’t, probably for the reason that Jamie said… which makes sense. We liked it! We, too rarely rent movies so this is a better deal for us than Netflix. We’ll use it again for sure!
