Rural living means less stress

can i tell you how much I love my ducks. they give me eggs for me to eat. They're much more nutritiousness than chicken eggs... as much as 5 times more vitamin b12 an lutien which is essential for healthy eye sight. More protien. More lutein. More vitamins. You cannot go wrong with duck eggs.
 
Plus, if a duck doesn't deliver the eggs you can always look forward in having duck meat.

Nearest red box is about 15 miles. Which is why you pick it up while you are in town for the popcorn and other goodies. Or on your way home from work.

You learn to get everything you need on one trip. :)

No biggie.

Who said you have to turn it in the next day? Turn it in on your next trip to town. I do not spend my weekends watching movies.

Red box movies are $1.00 a day. No late fees. If you keep it for more than 30 days then you are charged 30 bucks and get to keep the movie.

Right, but if you don't turn it in the next day, aren't you still charged another $1.00?
 
Wirelessly posted (sent from a smartphone. )

Yes Redbox is 1 for dvd, 1.50 for blu ray and 2 for video games, for per day.
 
I do not rent red box often. I rarely spend my time with the kids watching movies. I take them out to do stuff too much to enjoy outside than to stay indoors cooped up on the weekends. :)

Yes, That is why I said a dollar a day. :)

Ok. :)

Having to pay a dollar a day for every day that you don't turn it in becomes the equivalent of paying a late fee. If you've watched it, and haven't turned it in, what are you paying on? The privilege of keeping a rental in your house? That defeats the purpose of the idea behind the $1 redbox fee. That is what everyone else was trying to say.

Bingo and also - to drive back and forth to return it, burning your gas money away??? If your goal is to pay only $1 for rental dvd, you're just better off subscribing to netflix or hulu.

To make your "$1-a-day" worth it is to watch a movie during weekday and then return it on the way home from work or to work.

I have 2 Red Boxes near my apt. It's so close that "gas money" is non-issue but for those who live in rural area where everything is what? 20+ min away? I don't know if it's worth your time and gas for that.

Renting it on Friday and returning it on Monday? That's $3 or $4 total... thus nullifying your goal of renting a dvd for only $1.

I rather to pay the 1 or 2 dollars extra than waste my gas (which is more expensive) to drive to town. I rather wait til I am in town or on my way back from work when the weekend is over.

As I stated. I usually do not rent movies for the weekend. If I rent it I pick it up after school/work and drop it off on the way back the next day.

:) It does not bother me, and does not nullify anything. City Slickers are just used to having things right around the corner and readily waiting for them.

The anxiety is showing that if you guys keep a movie for an extra day makes it late. Which in reality it doesn't.
 
I'm just glad I can rent DVDs for free from my local library. I haven't rented a movie in years.

An extra day won't hurt anything. The movie rental is still a bargain at $2 dollars.

Sane here. I will buy the ones that we really want, like Harry Potter, Twilight and the X-Men series and others, but for the once in a while things, we just go to the library. Son gets 6-10 a week.

It's something I can really appreciate about having a public library, being able to get movies for free. I can borrow them for up to a week at a time, and renew it for another week if there's no requests in queue. They often have new TV shows and movies to pick from.

We recently finished 10 seasons of Stargate SG-1 and now we have Stargate Atlantis to start. We lost our satellite and cable when they were on the air and never got to finish them. Also, with the satellite that captioning was sporadic, but with the DVD, it's not.

It's not about convenience. It's about $$$$ but I weren't asking question to you. I'm mainly curious about how long did it take koko to drive to get a dvd from red box and back.

and.... we city slickers invented Redbox to get rich :)
