Vending Machines

Not all they're cracked up to be!

I got a free coupon for a rental at the Red Box DVD rental stand since I bought two box of french toast sticks and a package of Keebler cookies. Yes I spent and extra $3.49 on cookies to get a $1 coupon for a free movie LOL!

I promised the kids a movie night tonight so I figured I'd use my coupon and get them a movie. Plus, I've been wanting to see the new Sex and the City movie and they had that as well. Couldn't find it on Comcast On Demand, so there Comcast!

We swung into our local Giant store and went about the process of picking a movie all three would enjoy -- harder than it sounds. During the checkout process, I kept waiting for a coupon code thing to come up. I figured it might be after the "what's your email" phase.

I tried putting my email in but I type too fast for the machine to keep up so I said forget it. The next screen that popped up was "Your movie is dispensing" so of course the biggies had to fight over who was going to get the movie out of the machine. Just like when we take an elevator anywhere.

Turns out, under the HUGE rent a DVD section of the screen is a microscopic section where you can rent with a promo code ROFL! Leave it to me. Of course, I'm always scattered when I'm doing anything with the kids so I'll just blame it on mommy brain. As long as I return them by tomorrow it's only $2. Two for less than the price of one Comcast on Demand. So there!

The kids are pajama'd and watching Dinotopia. Well, everyone except Charlotte. She's wandering around whining because I won't open the green dot paint she's carrying around. Pizza should be on it's way soon. We'll be a bit late tonight but I guess that's okay. But only if I get to watch my movie, too!
