Netflix free trial
How do I love Netflix? Let me count the ways.
Seriously, our family has been receiving the red envelopes since 1998 (with only one or two problems - an amazing record). We have switched plans many times, depending on our needs and resources.
We've enjoyed seeing many, many movies that we would never find in your local video store. And - what's really wonderful is that we haven't had to look at what IS available in our local video store :)
What made me think of this was Sarah's comment this morning recommending Netflix:
You mentioned wading in the Blockbuster cess-pool. I agree with you wholeheartedly about the dishearteningly low quality of movies out now... it was enough for my hubby and I to do Netflix. It's actually cheaper too- we're on the one-movie-at-a-time plan for $9 a month, we can pick from ANY movie we want (they have a much better selection of classic movies than the local Blockbuster) and we're able to get via mail about 2 movies a week. We average maybe 6-8 movies a month, which at $5 a pop in Blockbuster would come out to $30-40 a month in movie viewing, but we just pay $9!! A good way to save money, time and aggravation. Worth looking into:).
The Curtis family is on the no frills 2/month plan. But it stills saves us money and opens up the cultural floodgates for movies we could never find at Blockbuster (see next post).
If you've ever considered joining Netflix, maybe this would be a good time. By joining here, you support MommyLife - and can get a free trial.
