Netflix or Blockbuster?
We were members of Netflix for a few months and then I discovered that Blockbuster was $3.00 cheaper per month. We choose the option of 3 movies out at a time. Blockbusters also gives you two FREE coupons each month that you can use in their brick and mortar store.

We don't use either. Any dvd's we get are free from the library.

We get a lot of DVDs from the library but the library doesn't have some of the old series there. We'll drop Blockbuster in a couple of months when we have seen everything.

We've been using Netflix. I'm glad to know that B.B. is cheaper. On that coupon you get is it a generic one that anyone could use or do YOU have to use it? The reason I ask is there isn't a block buster near us but my dk's live close to one.

I'm sure you could mail the coupons to your daughter or your daughter could go to the site and print the coupons herself.

We've not used either but we have talked about it! We have friends that use Netflix and I can't remember them ever complaining about it.....I know she is trying to be as "frugal" as she can right now so I am going to pass this on to her!!

We only rent a couple of movies a month, so it doesn't pay for us to get either. We get stuff from the library.

We don't use either, but we do go to Hollywood video and have an MVP membership for discounted movies. We rent often.

We use Blockbuster, and have been really pleased with them. It has REALLY cut our movie rental costs! We would go to the library, but ours doesn't carry DVD's, and they require the movies back the next day, and it's too far for us to do that.
