Oh boy. I love that Redbox movie rental kiosk. The one in front of McDonalds in Perryville was the first one we found and we’d use it when we took road trips north because we could rent there and drop off anywhere there’s another box… and there happens to be a box really close to the in-laws’ house. Great entertainment for the rugrats across the miles.
Several blogs have been posting free movie codes on Mondays, and Redbox is now offering free movie codes on Wednesday in March if you subscribe to their emails. Free is good and as long we get the movie back before 9 p.m. the next evening we don’t have to pay the regular $1 fee unless we want to keep the movie an extra day. We watch how many we rent because it can add up quickly if we’re not careful.
I am curious why the Perryville McDonalds box will let you buy movies but none of the other ones around will. We bought Ratatouille for $7 from that one a while back. It didn’t have the package but the DVD was in great shape.
We do rent most of our movies (mostly Thomas the Tank Engine over and over) courtesy of the Riverside Regional Library branches. You can’t beat the price there – once again, free is good. But sometimes the call of new releases brings us back to the Red Box. We’ll probably be there more this month since the Jackson branch of the library is moving starting Monday, March 16th and will be closed for two to three weeks. I’m looking forward to the new location next to Quiznos and Nearly Perfect Shoes. My poor car hated the entry into the old parking lot – scraped every time. BTW, if you’ve never been in the Jackson branch you should go in just to meet the great ladies in the a/v section – they’re the bomb.
I noticed that Schnucks has a different kind of rental box in their entry but I’ve never tried that one. Must fight the addiction.
