Cheap Movies

Blockbuster has a summer promotion offering kids movies for $1.99 right now.  I like to go to the library to get movies for my kids because they are free, but they don't have as much as Blockbuster, so sometimes it is a nice treat to go there and pick out a movie.  Or if Paul and I go to rent a movie for us and we have the kids with us they always beg for one....and we typically break down and walk out of there spending more than we wanted.  I think this deal will run through August. 

We joined the Blockbuster Rewards program and if you go on Tuesdays and rent one movie then you get one movie for free.  So if you rent one for the adults at regular price, which is $4.59 then you could get a family movie ($4.59) for free.  Then you could get a kids movie for $1.99.   So, you get 3 movies for $6.58 (before tax) and that normally would have cost $13.77.  That is one movie to watch by yourselves, one to watch as a family and one just for the kids!!  Or you get could get two movies for the adults and one for the kids.  My husband and I have been enjoying renting seasons of TV shows since there is nothing to watch on TV in the summer.  You could keep them a week and then take them back on the next Tuesday and do the same thing again. 

 I know some moms who use renting movies as incentives for behaving throughout the week.  Also, with the Blockbuster Reward program you get at least one coupon a month for a totally free movie of your choice.  Happy movie watching!
