]]> fireproofbannerI’ve been wanting to see Fireproof for quite some time now.  I frugally resisted going to the theaters to see it and decided to wait until it was released to buy or rent the movie.  From the reviews I’ve read, I figured it was a movie worth buying, just like Facing the Giants.  I haven’t had a chance to look in the stores for the flick; after all I live 30 minutes from Wal-Mart! 

Sunday I decided to stop by the local Movie Gallery to rent it for my husband and me.  There was only one video left on the shelves.  I took it up to the front and almost croaked when she told me $5.11!!!!!!! 

Five dollars and eleven cents to rent a movie????  Are they insane?  The lady probably thought I was crazy because I thought $5.11 to rent a movie was an outrageous price.  She said, “Well, we’re cheaper than Blockbuster and you get to keep it until Friday.”  For $5, I should get to keep it for a month!

If I didn’t live 30 minutes from any decent stores, I would have bought it instead of renting it.  I just can’t get over how much movies cost to rent.   Apparently it has been a while since I’ve rented a movie.  

Do you rent movies often?  Do you have a membership such as Netflix?
