Both Netflix and Blockbuster offer similar deals where you become a member and select movies from their website which are sent to you by mail. Keep them as long as you want and send them back in the mailer they send along with the DVD. Postage is prepaid.

The reason I went with Blockbuster is simple, there is one not far from where I live. This means I can return a movie directly to their store if I want and they will give me an additional rental free of charge. They also give me a printable coupon each month which I can turn in at the store for another movie or game. Obviously they are trying to get you in to the store.

I pay $10/month which means I get one DVD at a time through the mail. Then I exchange it at the store for another DVD and turn in my coupon for another. At that point there is yet another DVD on the way to me through the mail. I don’t need anymore movies than that during the month so that program works great for me but they offer other deals as well for example you can get three DVDs through the mail at once, ect.

I have found you a deal that allows you to try Blockbuster online for 50% off for the first month. Click the image below. Cheers!

Shopping online is another way to help Mother earth. How you wonder? Well, if you shop online you have not driven anywhere which means you haven’t polluted our atmosphere and haven’t contributed to Global Warming. You also did not receive a paper receipt which means less trees will be cut down. Yes it is true that your purchased item will be shipped to you and therefore pollution will occur but UPS and Fed Ex drive these routes daily and believe me they will not stop whether you buy online or drive to the nearest shopping plaza. So your online purchase did stop the output of additional and unneeded pollution.

Here’s the deal: I found a special Earth Day discounts for you from Gaiam, Eco-Tobi, and Planet Shoes. Just click on the image below and make note of the Earth Day code seen in the image to take advantage of the discount. There is no code for Tobi or Planet Shoes, just follow the image.

I once heard someone say that they would spend more on a bikini than any article of clothing. Their reasoning - the tiniest articles of clothing, covering the very least, better make you look your best. While this is excellent advice, sometimes we need something that won’t break the bank and still make you look hot. Check out this pink, skull and bones bikni from Victoria’s Secret for under $40 bucks.
