TR: I (Heart) Redbox Movies

I’m in love with a big, red machine. My husband and I have started renting movies from Redbox, the machines that rent new releases for just $1 a day and are popping up in grocery stores and malls across America. We’re big movie watchers — we probably rent at least a movie a week. We often rent older, cheaper movies from local video stores, but usually wait on new films because the $3-$5 rental price adds up pretty quickly. We tried Netflix, but it just lacked the instant gratification of in-person rentals. A movie would sound great when we put it in our queue, but then would sit uselessly on top of the TV for a while until we felt like watching it/Tara Roberts, Moscow-Pullman Daily News. More here.

Question: How often do you check out movies from the Redbox at your supermarket?
