Although I love a good book, I really enjoy a good movie as well. But because I refuse to pay $9 to see a movie in a theater, I opt for renting or buying the movie instead. I am a big advocate of buying previewed movies. Maybe that's the green in me. I rarely ever buy a new movie unless it is on sale. Of the 200+ movies my family owns, maybe 20 of them were bought "brand new".
As I acquire "newer" movies, I donate the ones I am tired of or didn't really like to my local library. The librarian there loves me, she looks forward to my bag of goodies every three months or so. Not only am I recycling my recycled movies to the library for others to enjoy but it's a great tax write off as well. I have noticed that since I started donating my movies, others followed suit. It's nice to start a recycling trend.
Another way I recycle my movies is to give my kids "outgrown movies" to younger kids. I happen to have three young nieces that live near me so I give them a lot of the "outgrown movies". It's nice to know that the movies are being used over and over again. And for any of you out there with children you know what I mean, kids can watch a movie over and over again without skipping a beat.
If you are wondering how much I spend on a movie, I buy my previewed copies for about $3 to $4 a movie. As for renting I have a Blockbuster online account were I get 2 movies a week sent to me. I also get in store exchanges as well, that way I can see a new movie on the first day it releases. And don't forget your local library, plenty of oldies but goodies to view for free. You can't beat that price.
