Redbox is a big red box with movies inside. You’ve probably seen one in your local store or maybe you are already a RedBox user.

Basically, for $1.00 a day you can rent movies out of this big fancy box. If you play your cards right you can actually rent lots of movies for free out of this big fancy box.

A guaranteed free movie is offered when you sign up for alerts via email or text. Jeannie over at Musings from Left Field tells me when you sign up your cell phone for these alerts they will send you codes for free rentals every Monday and Wednesday this month. I don’t see that on the website but I’ll take her word for it.

Another blog to keep your eye on when looking for free Redbox codes is 1GR8Mommy. She seems to always have a code for a free movie popping up in my reader.

We don’t use Redbox, not because I don’t think free and $1 movies are fabulous it’s just that I can’t be trusted to return the movie the next day. It would probably end up costing me $10 to see a movie.

We use Blockbuster’s online service. We pay $3.99 a month which gives us a limit of only two movies per month but that’s plenty for us.

We have had Batman Begins sitting on the table for over a week and still haven’t watched it. This could be because I’d rather eat glass we just haven’t had time to watch this masterpiece. But for whatever reason it takes us so long to watch movies, no late fees is key for our movie rental success.

Either way, check out that big RedBox next time you see it and don’t forget your free codes!

You may have noticed the lack of coupon deal posts as of late. That’s because I really haven’t been shopping at all this month.

I ran out of Extra Bucks (gasp!) and since we really don’t need anything I haven’t been to CVS to start over. I will in time but for now I’m content with not shopping.

We have also been eating a really healthy diet consisting of fruits, veggies, and chicken. Unfortunatly, there just are not a lot of coupons out there for apples and oranges. But it feels great to have a house free of crap.

Speaking of crap, I’m not really sure why I did this as I’m not a big fan of pills nor do I believe there is any miracle pill for weight loss or supermodel status. But with that, I still bought some Alli at Amazon today.

I actually went to Amazon to buy a scale but ended up buying Alli instead. It’s amazing what Amazon gift certificates will make you do. I would have never picked this up in the store and thought “hey this is a good idea, I’ll take it!”

Before you ask, I indeed have read all the “treatment effects” but apparently if you eat right those little gems should not happen. I sure hope that’s the case because I’m so not into that kind of “treatment”.

You can expect a few updates on the progress of my Alli experiment over the next few months.

Anyway, let’s talk about cash..

Today I received $50.00 from RevResponse , $3.00 from Pinecone, and $5 Amazon from being one of the first 200 to do something (I don’t know what it was from).

I also received my AARP card today in the mail. I’m 33.

We have these really great windows in our living room. They are big and face a little patio area with pretty flowers. The only bad thing is the windows are old as dirt and trying to open and close them makes me feel like I could hold my own in a strong man competition.

No one in the apartment complex really uses the patio. 99% of the time no one back is there, so basically it’s like we have a little house and that is our backyard. The point is, if for whatever reason I choose not to have clothes on and walk by the window I have little fear anyone will see.

So, this morning in all my glory I went to open the window. Seriously, you’ve really got to put some effort into these windows. I’ve got a good grip, pulling, boobs pressed against the window and who walks by? My nice Christian neighbor.

I jumped back and ran to the bedroom for clothes knowing that I will have to avoid this guy for a week. This is not the first time this poor guy has seen me naked. It happened one other time with the window (I’m a slow learner) and then we’ve also had a bedroom incident.

Our bedroom window is our only window that faces anyone, it’s a very small window that looks on to this neighbors porch. It’s pretty high on the wall so I didn’t think you could see through it from outside.

Shortly after we moved in, he put up this weird blanket half a tent looking thing to block our view. My husband straight out asked him if we did something that made him put up the blanket shield. He said “Oh no, I was cleaning my porch and I didn’t want the dust to go in your window and you kids need your privacy”. I thought this was a little strange to add the last part but whatever.

Fast forward, about a month. The landlord says he’s going to put new windows in both bedrooms and maybe we should put a frosted glass window in the main bedroom. Um, ok. Why? Now, the landlord never said exactly what the neighbor said but apparently the blanket tent shield was not exactly for dust.

I feel bad he keeps seeing me in these situations. He’s nothing but nice to me and never gives any indication that his eyes have seen it all. I know he is super religious and I would guess he believes boobies are for marriage and not for his eyes. I am however grateful that I seem to continually flash him and not some random perv.

Lesson learned though. I’ve had enough embarrassment for this year and from now on will only be seen in long pants and turtlenecks.

Be one of the first 800 people each day to book a one night stay online at any Super 8 motel and pay only $8.88.

I tried about five minutes after it started today and the rooms were already gone so your gonna have to get in quick style if you want to catch this deal. Good Luck!
