They have brand new movies and several copies of them. So you can usually find a copy on the self. And the selection of older movies is great, sometimes better than the video store. So I have dropped our video membership and use the library. I realize not everyone lives somewhere with such a great selection of DVDs at the library but if you do you should take advantage of it.Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17311918064009586996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945855605940594967.post-17962622630248556932008-01-25T10:14:00.000-06:002008-01-25T10:14:00.000-06:00Hi Vickie,I just jumped over to your blog site and...Hi Vickie,<BR/>I just jumped over to your blog site and I enjoyed your profile and the frugal tips...good stuff.

Here for example there is a Mexican dinner being held for a fundraiser for a mission trip for donations, a fun way to spend some money and help people in the mean time! The Community college has plays they offer which are much cheaper than other places for plays, we love the park when the weather is nice, take a picnic and a ball and it is so much fun! <BR/>You would get amazed at all the free things advertised though, we find all kinds of stuff! We went Ice skating last Sat! That was not free, but it could have been since we have our own skates!Martha A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02426112535240400393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945855605940594967.post-34232757167729904432008-01-24T23:06:00.000-06:002008-01-24T23:06:00.000-06:00I love all your tips.

Our local public libraries also often have really new movies (and often a better selection of family friendly movies than the video stores) that are, of course, free unless they're overdue. <BR/>Thanks for the ideas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945855605940594967.post-667905751939412422008-01-24T20:41:00.000-06:002008-01-24T20:41:00.000-06:00I liked your story of the solo cups, bag of crushe...I liked your story of the solo cups, bag of crushed ice and soda in your purse!!! <BR/><BR/>We live in a pretty big city - so we have access to dvds / vhs and cds from all the surrounding libraries.<BR/><BR/>All dvds/vhs are free to check out for 1 week.<BR/><BR/>Now you are not going to get the most recent movies, and when the new movies come to the library - there may be a long waiting list - but they are FREE. <BR/><BR/>I know some people don't read much - so they may not even know what all their library has to offer.Edihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881967873653190545noreply@blogger.com
