Redbox

Since my husband and I only rent a couple movies a month, Netflix is not the right choice for us at $8.99 per month. We have been using Redbox for a few years, and it perfectly fits our needs. Redbox is basically a DVD vending machine. The rental fee is only $1 per day, and you can pick up and drop off your movie at different locations. It is great for vacations. We just did this on a roadtrip a couple weeks ago. My husband checked out Precious at a Holiday gas station near our house on the way out of town. Once we got to Milwaukee, we did a search on the Redbox website, found one nearby, and returned the DVD at a Sentry grocery store.

If you're looking for a specific movie, you can search for it at locations near you, then reserve it. When you go to the machine you just swipe your credit card and out pops your movie. Genius!
