Why video stores should be out of business and turned into a Walgreens

On Valentine's Day of 2005, my husband and I drove to Blockbuster to get a movie. This was shortly after they started their no late fee promotion. Well, needless to say, they didn't have the movie we wanted because nobody HAD to return it! So, we went home without a flick. I called my younger brother the next day to gripe and he reminded me (for the millionth time) that I should get Netflix. I have been using Netflix for 21 months now. I'm the first to say I love it (besides my brother...who left it and went to Blockbuster's version only to return to Netflix). I have gotten many other people to love it too! But, today, I decided to see if it was worth it...money wise! Well, the answer is yes!! So for all you 'not so sure about Netflix' people maybe this will help persuade you. (Keep in mind, I am not promoting Blockbuster online or anything other than Netflix--they truly are the best and most efficient!)

Here's the run down:
21 months of membership
$18.91 per month (3 movies at a time...tax already included)

185 movies watched in that amount of time comes to
about 9 movies a month.

That's $2.10 a movie. I like it!

If I continued by usual trip to Blockbuster to get a movie I would have paid $4 per movie which comes to $740 for all of them. But, I didn't. I just went to my mailbox and ended up only spending $397. That means I have saved my family $343 in almost 2 years! Imagine what you could save???!!!
