In Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, I used to
borrow DVD movies from Blockbuster and Hollywood movie stores. The
rent of one DVD movie for 3 nights was $3.50 per movie. I went to
Blockbuster or Hollywood movie store when the DVD movie was not
available at our local public libraries. I can borrow 10 DVD movies at time from the public library for 7 days.
In 2011, Blockbuster and Hollywood
closed all their DVD movie stores due to lack of business. The online
NetFlix and Red Box movie kiosks became popular and the movie rental
fee was lower.
The Red Box kiosk is very convenient
for me because I can do all my shopping and banking inside the
Albertson's supermarket at the same time.
The Red Box DVD movie rental is $1.30
per movie and must be return before 9:00 p.m. of the following night.
Otherwise, I have to pay another $1.30 for each night of return
delay.
I can save a lot money using the Red
Box movie rental kiosk. The movie theaters in Las Vegas usually
charge $7.50 per person before the 6:00 p.m. show. After 6:00 p.m.,
the movie admission fee is $8.50 per person.
I do not care if all the Red Box DVD
movies are 2 months late after their movie theater showing. As long
as I have not seen the movies, they are all new to me.
Imagine, I can save $6.20 from each
movie ($7.50 movie theater admission free minus $1.30 Red Box rental
fee). By not going to the movie theater, I can still save $3.50 for a
small pop corn and $2.50 for small soda or soft drink.
But I can save more money if I can
borrow the same movies from our public libraries, free of charge for
7 days, if such movies are available. At the same time, I can borrow
up to 10 books and 10 magazines at a time, free of charge for 14
days.
That's how I enjoy my movie
entertainment at home.
TIPS
1. Apply for a library card if you
have public libraries in your locality that allow you to borrow DVD
movies, CD music, books, and magazines, free of charge.
2. Rent your DVD movies from Red Box
movie rental kiosks using your debit or credit cards. Red box kiosks
are usually found at McDonald's, Albertson's supermarkets, and
Walmart supermarkets.
3. Minimize going to movie theaters to
save money in movie admission fees, pop corns, soda or soft drinks,
candies, hotdogs, pretzels, and other food items.
