Yay Redbox

We spent another quiet day around the ole homestead. And then I made a discovery that I had to share with you. It's called Redbox.


Maybe you already know about it, if not, it's a vending machine that rents DVDs. Big deal...you say? Well, first, the rentals are only $1. Which is a really good bargain. But, anyone that knows me, knows that I like even better bargains. So, I found on the internet that on Mondays, Redbox gives a promo code that makes one DVD free! Of course, I had to try it out.

After checking for locations on the Redbox website, we made a quick trip to the local Walmart. Right inside the entrance, in the foyer, is the vending machine. Armed with my promo code, I used the touch screen to request the movie Mama Mia. I swiped my debit card and entered my email address and bingo! The dvd appeared in the slot!

When we got back to the coach, there was a confirmation email about the dvd rental (can you call it a rental when it's free?) and a reminder to return it by 9pm the following evening. Too coooooool! We have walked past these machines a thousand times and never even thought about them. They are everywhere. Now we'll be catching all of the new movies. (Monday only)

So, that was our excitement for the day. In the future, I will try and post the Redbox code on Monday mornings so you can all take advantage of a great deal too.
