Buck Buster
How much does it cost to rent movie in Block Buster (in store not online)?
What about game rental? does bluer-ray cost the same rental as dvd? store rent vs online? which is better for the buck?
i work at blockbuster... so here's what i know....
most instore rentals avg around 4.75 to 5.00 (including tax). but this can vary depending on the store b/c sometimes there are deals for 1.99 rentals. For example: during the summer all "kid" movies are 1.99.
game rentals avg around 8.50 (including tax). but this again can vary depending on sales and the type of game it is. For example: Wii, XBOX360, and PS3 may be more expensive than older system games.
blu-ray is not available in all stores. but is the same price.
online is truly a great program if you know you are going to rent atleast more than 2 movies a month. BECAUSE one instore rental is almost 5 dollars but if you do the online program and choose the 5.99 plan. you can get up to 5 movies a month for 5.99 (not including tax). so basically if you choose to rent 2 instore rentals and just pay regular price (no sales, deals, online, whatever), you are paying more.
i personally would choose online rather than any of the other programs we have (ie. movie pass and rewards).
if you have any other questions just let me know.

3 Fast Ways to Recession-proof Your Lifestyle
Most of the time, the average working-class family has a hard time making ends meet. If it seems that those end are getting harder to keep together when times get tough, you need to start tightening your belt. One of the first things to do is to look for money leaks.
Recession-Buster #1: Create A Spending Plan
Rather than budget, decide how you're going to SPEND your money! Yup, that's right, I said spend. You have to spend regardless, so you need to have a spending plan. A great area that can provide you with almost instant savings is your insurance premiums.
Carefully review your policies to see where it makes sense to cut back. This can be a great way to save money on your premiums by dropping unnecessary coverages. Be sure to check with your insurance representative to make sure you are adequately covered. Perhaps you can try raising the deductibles on your home and auto insurance policies to lower the premiums.
Next, have a look at your utility bills. Since just about everyone uses a cell phone nowadays, consider whether it's absolutely necessary to have home phone service. If you still want to have a home phone line, look into reducing add-on services, such as ‘call-waiting' and other ‘bundled' features you may not be using.
Also, check to see if you can save big by combining your home phone, cell phone and cable TV services all on the same bill. Just by doing this analysis, you may be pleasantly surprised at your monthly savings for your insurance and utility bills.
Recession-Buster #2: Dining And Meals
We all know that going out to dinner can be a great treat, but if you go too often, it takes a beating on your wallet and becomes routine, rather than a special outing. Look at eating out as a treat and try to prepare more meals at home. Even just bringing your lunch to work once a week, you can dramatically save money without feeling like you're depriving yourself.
Plan your dinner menu from your grocery store's weekly food specials. It's easy to get into a rut buying the same grocery items week after week. By seeing what's on sale, and planning your at home meals around sale items, this will add variety to your family's dinner menu and trim your grocery budget at the same time.
Recession-Buster #3: Making Money Online
Another great recession-buster is to consider using the internet to earn extra income at home. Chances are, there is some knowledge you have that others would be interested in learning. Even if you feel you don't know anything that would be of interest to others, I'm sure you know someone who you would consider an expert on a topic of interest.
You can get together with that person and create an information product about that person's knowledge and expertise in as little as 30 days. Done properly, most people would gladly pay a few bucks to know what you know or buy your newly minted information product. There are several other ways that you can learn to earn money online, so start researching the various websites out there that provide this information.
In the end, a recession is just a state of mind. Fortunes have been made during recessions. By getting knowledge about how the internet works, you can see how it's fun and easy to make money online, even during a downturn in the economy. Being financially responsible with your money regardless of the state of the economy is always a wise move.
