If you have digital cable, check the free offerings for movies and programs before you rent a movie. Periodically check. Though you might be like me and delete the email detailing the new movies offered on cable. If you check the on demand programming you might be pleasantly surprised and find some older films that you are interested in watching in the comfort of your own home, some less than 2 years old. It may not seem that great, but for free that’s a better deal than the library – you don’t have to leave your house or worry about returning the DVD on time.
For newer films though, Redbox is a better deal. My cable company offers newer movies for $4.99. Most Redbox outlets require some transportation to get to them, but it is doubtful that you’d use a gallon of gas to get to the nearest Redbox.
Instead of going to the library or Redbox, I’m going to watch “Julia & Julia” for free in the comfort of my home and can even watch the beginning on one tv and finish it on another.
I have started watching some films using the on demand feature and didn’t like them so I was glad that I hadn’t used up space on my library card or waste a dollar watching something I didn’t like.
