Collecting DVD movies on an economical level....

i don't buy dvds until they are reduced to a low price and only if its one that i know i would want to watch again and again because its just too much money full price, so in the mean time i'm a member of love film and i rent my dvds

At the moment, my local charity shop is selling films on VHS at 10pence each so I can get 10 for 1GBP. I buy them, watch them, hand them on to my mum to watch and then she donates them back to a charity shop. I don't find that many films that i want to watch more than once but, I would never pay full price for DVDs. I'll wait for them to turn up in a 'bargain bin' or buy a pre-watched copy like you did.

Likewise I still have a huge collection of videos both pre-recorded and some which I use for recording from TV. I got rid of part of my collection a while back and regret it now so made the decision that I will only get rid of my videos when I can replace them on DVD, which in some cases is not possible.

Generally I watch out for DVDs when they come down to below £4.00 and if that means I end up watching a film a year or two after its release then so be it. I really object to paying full price for a dvd and rarely do so unless it is a special edition or boxset. I dread to think how much money I would have spent if I had payed full price for every DVD I own, especially as the sell on value for second hand DVDs is so poor.

I have a Lifetime TIVO but it is in NoCal and I'm in SoCal at the moment, so I'm stuck. Was thinking of trying Netflix as a friend joined and loves it, but the truth is we don't watch that many movies, so I hate to be locked into a subscription that maybe we won't use. I'm annoyed that TIVO quit selling the Lifetime accounts. Maybe I need to check out the competition.

I don't always worry about being economical when I buy anything. I bought a movie at Walmart today that was on the $13 dollar rack. I bought it because I couldn't afford buying one for the newer price of $20 bucks. But next week if I have the money I may very well buy one for $20. My philosphy is that when you die you can't take the money with you so you might as well enjoy it when you can. Of course, it's easier for me to look at it like that because I don't have a family to support along with all the other debts. Don't get me wrong. I don't spend my money wrecklessly. I do budget my money to an extent. I just don't look for a bargain everytime I go shopping. Sometimes it's just too much of a hassle.

I have a huge DVD collection, but I started backwards, I began to buy older movies, usually they are cheaper, once movies are released and been out on DVD for a few years, they drop in price dramatically. I still go to the cinemas when someone interesting is released.

I am a member of a movie club and only buy from it when they have really good sales. I also have a membership with one of the rent through mail places and that is where I look to get alot of my movies on DVD. They are previously viewed but in very good condition and the best part is they are between 5 and 10 dollars, just depending on how long they have been out and how popular they were. I don't spend full price on DVDs unless its buy one at full price and get additional ones free or half off, or something like that. I will have to remember that Target has them for 4.50 and check it out sometime. God Bless!

I love my movies and my collection is quite extensive and for the most part I have gotten most of them for very cheap. Walmart is another great one they have the 5 dollar bin. Either that or I search on line once in a while I will spend full price or almost I should say but those are for some I have been really looking forward too.
