No more renting movies from the $1-movie kiosk at the Bi-Lo. The last dollar movie we rented was Kit Kittredge: American Girl, and by the time we took it back we'd paid $14.95 for it. Not a thrifty experience. No no no no no.
Someday, when I work up the nerve, we'll talk about me and libraries.
P.S. Aelred says it was more like $16.97 that we paid for that movie. And we only watched it the one time. The waste!

my dh says it is actually cheaper for us to just buy the darn movies! Actually Netflix has been my saving grace in this regard.
And don't even talk to me about libraries. Every time I go in I just open up my checkbook and ask them how much!
I want to try Netflix - and I have library issues too.
I hear you, the library loves me.
Let me give a third vote for Netflix.
Netflix. That's what I was going to say. Imagine what it's like when you live an hour from the library and you always remember the movie about half an hour away from home. I have built whole library systems.

I'm new to your blog!
I found it quite amusing that this is the first post I read.
My son forgot he had a Redbox movie since it was in the pocket of a different coat.
I think his final charge was around that amount.
i always tell myself that the library fines go to buy more books i'll want to read. they do well off of me too.
Oh, how I miss the New York Public Library . . . the Manhattan, Bronx, and Staten Island systems are all joined, and if you can't get what you want at your branch, they'll send it from elsewhere. And they have everything you want, though sometimes you have to wait for it (I waited months for the film "They Might Be Giants," and gave up on the "Pride and Prejudice" series with Colin Firth). Now I'm in a small city and the library doesn't have everything I want. What do people do? ILL?
My word is "bogymiz," which I think is a synonym for . . . myself.
