We do have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blockbuster.com\/\">Blockbuster<\/a> Total Access subscription, which costs $10.59 a month after tax, that we use as well; but that only allows us to have 1 movie at a time.<\/p>\n<p>I have not been to the library to see the selection, but she assures me there are some recent movies there, as well as some older ones which she has been checking out three or four at a time. While some frugal experts would probably say that continuing the Blockbuster subscription was silly, since we could get movies for free from the library, I have a hard time giving it up as we currently get newer HD-DVDs from Blockbuster through the mail, then trade those in at the store for other DVDs. We typically get at least four or five a week and I also get a coupon for one XBOX 360 game rental a month, which itself easily justifies the $10.59 subscription.<\/p>\n<p>The library DVDs have been a welcome addition as we killed the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dishnetwork.com\/\">Dish Network<\/a> subscription and only watch movies or DVDs now. The main reason for killing the TV feed was simply to save money. But I have also noticed I don&#8217;t really have any desire to go see movies at the theater since cutting the TV off. This is probably because I haven&#8217;t been bombarded with TV ads for the newest movies coming out.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the whole point to this rambling is, you should definitely check the library for DVDs and movies to fill your entertainment gap on the cheap, or even on the free. This is on frugal tip I see us using for the next few years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently Megan has been checking out DVDs from the local library for us to watch.
