Ah Ha! Code at the beginning!! I tried to get my free one and couldn’t figure out when to put in the dang code! Still, for a buck, it’s not bad at all!

Hey (to be completely off-topic, although this does in fact make me cheap so I suppose it’s somewhat related), any chance Little Piddles is going to give you a promo code to give to all us great people who didn’t win your giveaway?

I have some stuff I want to order but have been stalling just in case they give us a consolation prize!

[...] Blonde Mom Blog wrote an interesting post today on Frustrating Moments in FrugalityHere’s a quick excerpt Yesterday I was reading my fellow Divine Caroline friend Amy’s great blog, The Mother Load. She had posted a free movie code for a Red Box rental. After school I thought it would be a treat to take Miss C to rent a movie seeing as the weather is less than desirable. I was all… MUST GET FREE MOVIE! MUST DRIVE TO MCDONALD’S AND STAND IN FRIGID COLD IN LINE WITH NO COAT ON AND 5-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER CLINGING TO MY LEGS BEHIND THREE PEOPLE DUMBASSES WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHO SCROLL TH [...]

So glad to know there are others in the world who will do just about anything to save a buck somedays. Oh how I love to save money, and oh how it ticks me off to no end when it doesn’t work the way I had planned!

I don’t know what rock I’ve been living under, but I just found out about these rentals when my college son was home for the weekend. Of course I don’t frequent McD’s anymore now that the kids are in college. Maybe that’s my excuse…

Sounds like the time I went to the grocery store specifically to buy some vegetables I could get with free with a coupon. I drove 15 miles and got to the checkout line only to realize I had forgotten the coupons.

I love AMY, she has the best tips!

But poor you. That just sucks the donkey.

I always have all my coupons ready to go and then mommy brain strikes and I forget to use them.

*le sigh*.

The extents we will go to earn a buck are hilarious!
I’m sorry you stood in line for nothing, although if you HADN’T then we couldn’t chuckle at that witty rant, so…Never mind.

McDonalds really does screw you ever which way. If it doesn’t kill you with the food content, it will kill you with frustration.

PS- I hate your spam filter…why oh why does it hate on me?

I hate it when I try to use a code to get something for free and it has already expired. Makes me mad!

oh Lord. This is how it would have worked out for me, except I’d have had the three urchins turning purple and complainging about the cold…and then my head would have popped off.

I’ve always thought those $1 rental boxes more hassle than they’re worth. For me, they are located right inside the first set of sliding doors going into Wal-Mart. Like you, if you want to rent anything you have to stand in line and bear the cold air everytime the door opens and closes. And with a toddler myself, no way is it worth the time.

I agree, wait for a summer day to try again.

Oh no! Bummer! Thanks a lot stoopid Amy from the The Mother load I am going to add a side note that people have to enter the code in first since that wasn’t on there. I had a hard time with that myself when I tried a code for the first time.

So sorry- what a bust!
