Another reason to go to McDonalds besides a McGriddle
Allow me to extol the greatness of Redbox.
Redbox is one of the greatest innovations of the last 5 years. Here's how it typically works:
1. Find a Redbox location. You can search for one on their website, but they're typically at McDonalds and some Wal-Marts.
2. Pick a movie. They only carry the most recent releases, typically about 100 titles or so.
3. Rent the movie. All titles are $1.00 to rent for a day, and $1 for every day after. They only accept credit cards, so make sure you have one with you.
4. Enjoy your movie!
5. Return the movie to any Redbox location, even if it's not the one you rented from.
However, there is a step 1A that should be listed on here: find a promo code. There are websites (like this one) that list promo codes you can type in and get a free rental! You still have to swipe your credit card in case you're late returning it, but they won't charge your card if you keep it for a day. You can use each code once per credit card, but for someone like me who has 2 credit cards and a debit card, that means three rentals per code. It's great!
AND, it allows you to rent movies you would never actually pay money to see, like Doomsday:
If you've ever thought that someone could make a great movie if they combined 28 Days Later, Lord of the Rings, Mad Max, Fast and the Furious, and I Am Legend, this movie would prove you wrong. Sorry to burst your bubble.
But it was free!
