I have only had it happen to one DVD which someone kept because they wanted the movie (not my friend but a roommate).

Just be sure to get them back on time so you don't have to pay. You will still have to run your debit or credit card through. But even if you don't get it back on time, it is only $1 a day to rent. Redbox is about the only way we rent movies anymore, unless my husband wants to browse for more then he will go to a brick and mortar store. I don't like to because I am too frugal.

Having a Netflix account is a great way to save money on movies. Get a 3 movie account for only $19.95 per month. You choose your first 3 movies then after you watch one you send it back and within 3 days or less you have another to replace it. I have watched as many as 20 moives a month for the same low price. The other great thing is that they don't charge a late fee as there is no time limit to how long you can keep the movie. Give it a try, if you don't like it you can cancell at any time.
Be sure to pop a batch of popcorn and get a drink of your favorite beverage before showtime :-)

We also pick up movies we love at garage sales and at the local church thrift store for $1-2 each. Many of these are on VHS, but it's a great way to get classic Disney, etc. so that my 3-yr. old granddaughter can watch them over and over and over. : )

I love Redbox too! I can almost always find something to watch on TV, but my 3-year old granddaughter lives with me. I'm trying to use the texted "coupon" for a Tuesday afternoon movie after I pick her up at preschool. Since I teach until 8:30 p.m. on Mondays, it is too late for any of us to watch movies by the time we get home! I pick the movie up on Monday at Wal-Mart in the town where I work and return it at my local store after we watch it on Tuesday. Yes, I also love the fact that the "late fee" is just another $1 + tax. That I can deal with if I don't get the movies back by 9 p.m.

We joined Netflix. For about 15 dollars a month we get 2 movies at a time, unlimited. It takes a day or two between when we mail the viewed movies back and when we get the new ones. Sometimes we have to wait a bit for the newest releases but they have a large selection of all kinds of movies, including foreign films and documentaries, which you can't always get from the library or redbox. We can keep the movies as long as we want and there are no late fees.

We have a girls/guys night out. We have a potluck together and then send the guys to another house to watch their movies and the girls watch what they want at my house. We have a great time and no one has to watch a slasher or chick flick that doesn't want to do it.

The redbox is the greatest thing ever! Only $1.07 a night. If you sign up for text messages every monday they will text you a free rental code and you won't pay anything as long as you have it back by 9pm the next night. Great! so I usually have monday movie night. You can keep them for as long as you want they just charge your card the $1.07 a day then after like 25 days or something it is yours to keep.
