Redbox Review

I am a BzzAgent and recently I was given a free month of redbox instant by verizon to try out. My job is to let you know in my opinion what our family thought of the service.

First of all the price 

For only $8 a month, you get 4 DVD credits at the kiosk every month + movies you can stream instantly. Rent new releases from nearby kiosks or stream movies on the go from your smartphone, laptop or tablet.

Now what our family thought.

First of all make sure you are on redbox instant and not just redbox we made this mistake a few times during our free month, which caused more problems then it was worth.

The first time we used it I got really excited because they had a whole slew of movies to watch that were new to me, then reality set in and I found out they were mostly at the Kiosk or for on demand which cost $ 3.00 a pop.

I actually found a few movies on redbox that I could not watch on my other online service so that was really nice. It seems what one does not have the other does, but for the most part they have all of the same movies.

We found it comparable to other online rental sites, one of which I have been with from almost day one and have kept my subscription too except for a few times when there had to be that extra cut in finances.

The rental from Kiosk was a total waste for me, didn't use my codes at all.

For me the nearest Kiosk is about 20 miles away too far to just run out to get a movie and have it back the next day with the price of gas these days so for those living in a rural area this might not be the best option for you. 80 miles for me for two round trips for a movie is just not cost effective.

On the other hand if you live next door to one then this would could be a great option, just not for us.

I found that it was harder to find a movie I liked because of the way you had to search for them. Sorry I keep comparing it but once you have been with one company for such a long time, you are either just as good or better, or you just don't get accepted and I think this is just what happened in our family.

I hope that if you are looking for a site to rent from online you will give them a try, it might have worked out better for our family if we had not been with the company we have had for so long. If I get the chance to have another free trial I will give it another whirl and see if goes over better, but until then I am not sure how long but if you go to sign up, you can also get a free month trial. 

Do you rent from online? If so which company and how do you like them? More then one? Which do you like best?

One mothers account of daily life..

If you're at all interested in knowing more about our family you can always check out my other blogs which are in the tabs above but just in case you haven't and would like to know where to start why not try One mothers account of daily life which should be updated more then it is, but life here is busy, I do what I can. I have so many things to write but finding the time to do it all around our schedules can be a bit daunting but I haven't given up and hope you enjoy getting to know MarksvilleandMe a little better while you are here.

I've seen some pretty horrible...

When you have company coming do you run around cleaning even if it is already tidy because you know you can spruce up a few more things? Our family does. We had company coming today and did just that. Mind you it was just picking up the bathroom and vacuuming, but it was still a spruce up none the less.

After our company came and went we all got on the conversation of messy houses. I've seen some pretty horrible houses in my day. From rich to poor I have seen it all, some that are dirty, smelly, a hoarders dream, or any combination in between. I have been places where you wouldn't dare take a seat, breath, and others you couldn't wait to flee.

Our home itself has been anywhere from organized and tidy to a complete disaster, with the later happening mostly when I have been ill mind you, but also when I was working two jobs outside of our home, putting in over 120 hours a week. I don't even remember much about those times other then making a lot of money. When all was said and done, it was not worth it. My health, my house, and my children all suffered from it.

Even though I've seen seen some pretty horrible houses what matters in the end is that it is a happy home, full of love, laughter, and family. 

That is completely selfish.

Yesterday my daughter took me out to get my pedicure she had promised me on Christmas for a present. While on our way it came down to getting my nails done or getting the money in cash so we could have gas in our vans tank. My husband's unemployment is again on hold. I wish they would get it together. I chose getting gas in our van over the pedicure, besides who besides myself would enjoy my pretty feet in the winter?

Later on in the evening the same daughter came to our house needing a place to stay. I didn't get to writing my blog posts for yesterday because she needed us... she is 8 1/2 months pregnant...if I had done my blogs and not have taken care of her people would have said that is completely selfish.

I am always giving up things or my time so that I can help others, it just seems to be in my nature, even if it impairs my health. I feel guilty when I am ill, not being able to do for others during those times, and no one can say that is completely selfish.

Who touched the...

Who touched the... seems to be something that is heard often in our home. I buy certain ingredients for recipes and when I go to make them, more often then not something is missing, leaving me to figure out what to make in it's place. Meal planning is a real hassle when this happens. 

My husband has his own desk and I have my own, yet almost every time we need something, it isn't where it is suppose to be and you will hear us say who touched the...? Funny even with all of the who touched the..., I can  most times help my children find what they are missing. 

Remotes are another who touched the...moments in our home. For some reason the kids just don't have it within them to put them back in the rooms where they belong. We often find the computer room remotes in the bathroom, or stranger yet up in their rooms. I don't ask really but how does that happen? 

Never mind chocolate it goes so fast in our home most people don't even know we had any including ourselves because it seems to disappear as fast as we replace it. Also if you asked who touched the... everyone says it wasn't them so I am convinced we either have a ghost or at least a borrower in our midst.
