Why buy movies on DVD when you can just rent-all-you can?
Do you know that most people buy DVDs and just watch them once? Sure, you watched some of your DVDs twice or thrice but statistically, most people who buy DVDs just watch them once.
Now here’s a frugal’s dream service. Netflix offers DVD rentals for $9.99 a month. They will deliver the DVD to your home, complete with a prepaid return envelope so you don’t have to pay for shipping and postage. After watching the movie, just mail it back, and the best part is, “There is no late fees“. But you need to return it before you can rent another movie. I guess that’s just fair enough.
They got over 60,000 titles to choose from. So if you compute, your annual cost for DVD entertainment is only about $120.
