Recent discoveries and things we love!

Netflix!  http://www.netflix.com/

I'll admit that when Netflix first came on the scene I was the number one cynic (I mean skeptic) and I was sure it would never work. But now I have to say it's one of our favorite things. We only have the minimum subscription, which is one movie at a time, but I can mail it one day and have the next movie two days later. For around $8 a month it's a great way to stay current on movies. Plus it's a cheap date for sure!

RedBox  http://www.redbox.com/
Maybe because we are out of funds for what was previously the "entertainment" portion of our monthly budget, or maybe just because we love movies, but my other new favorite discovery is Redbox. Again, I openly made fun of this concept and couldn't imagine who would need to "vend" a movie, but the wait at the Redbox down the street from my house definitely proves me wrong! For just $1 (yes, I said it - $1!) you can rent a current or classic movie, and as long as it's back before 9:00 the next night you just pay the dollar. Very cool idea and very fun to use!
