Entertainment Budget

In the winter months I spend most of my free time either watching movies, reading books, or playing video games. My girlfriend and I have discovered a few ways to feed our need for movies, games, and books without spending a ton of money. We rent DVD's at a local grocery store on the day when they offer any title for 69 cents. Sometimes we go to Blockbuster for the one week rentals. But you pay for that privilege with high rental fees. You can find used video games at Blockbuster too. Some video game stores allow you to trade old games in on newer titles. Used books are also available if you know where to look. You can find good deals on books at some of the smaller book stores and thrift shops. The local library here has a used book sale every three months. We like to go on the day when it's 5 dollars for as many books as you can stuff into a grocery sack. That's where we are headed today. Using these tips can help keep your entertainment budget under control.
