Thumbs Up : Red Box

0

Our family does not watch a lot of TV, so when we gather around the tube for a movie, it’s a real treat.

This week, we rented two movies from the “Red Box” video rental service at our local grocery store. I am really pleased with their service.

  • The price is very reasonable: $1.07 for one night.
  • The selection is good.
  • I can check movie availability and make reservations from the web.
  • No membership necessary… just swipe a credit card when you rent.
  • There are plenty of locations to choose from.
  • I can return the movies as late as 9pm the next day.
  • I can return the movies to any Red Box location.
  • Checkout and return confirmation can be emailed to you.

These guys have really done it right. I hope they stick around.

The stuff in the box looks nothing like the stuff in the picture!

cereal

That spoon shows a syrupy mix of varied flakes, with several juicy cherry bits. The bag contains something that looks more like dog food than cereal, with one lone cherry nugget thrown in by itself.
