How to Find Redbox Codes
Currently, Americans can find over 40,000 Redbox kiosks in stores around the country. Each machine offers DVD rentals for just over $1.00 per day, and games are available for $2.00 per day. Consumers now rent thousands upon thousands of these discs every 24 hours. Fortunately, the company offers Redbox codes that allow people to save money on their rentals. These promotional codes offer discounts on one or more discs and even free nightly rentals. These codes are available directly through the Redbox kiosks in some cases. When a person chooses a rental, the machine might display a promotional offer. A common discount offers one disc without charge for choosing three DVDs or games total. On the other hand, another discount might simply reduce the price for adding on a second DVD. Kiosks won’t display these savings opportunities each and every time. Consumers can find Redbox codes through other means, though.
Friday Wrap-Up: “I Confess” Edition
Tomorrow night, a great old band, English Beat, will play live in my hometown of Denver. I don’t think I’ll be there, but I’ve had this song in my head. Here’s a hint — the photo at right is about remedying a slip-up. I rent a shared office part-time. Usually, I bring my own coffee from home in the morning, in a nice stainless steel mug that my husband orphaned.

My giveaway for Ellen Brown’s delicious cookbook, $3 Meals: Feed Your Family Delicious, Healthy Meals for Less than the Cost of a Gallon of Milk, must have struck during a too-busy holiday season, because those of you who entered had great odds!

If you are reading this in the Denver area, today is the day to hit up the local theater for a free screening of Food, Inc. Chipotle is sponsoring screenings around the country on a first-come, first-served basis. See the complete list here. I haven’t seen the movie, although I would like to. The official site for the movie is here, and it includes a trailer (which will hopefully appear below) as well as other information about the issues of what is in our food (besides bugs).

Friday wrap-up: Farrah & Michael tribute edition
It’s time for the weekly wrap-up of things around the Web. However, the Web this week has been bursting with news about the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. So, in honor of those 1970s/1980s icons, I’m rolling back to an old-school wrap-up of information found in the printed publications that have been piling up on my desk.

How we boost our organic garden for free
The Scavengers whom I wrote about yesterday appear to be gardening partly organically, but not completely. At our house, we stick with the organic stuff, which is cheap or free ….
The scavenged garden makes gardening free
Gardening season is getting underway around the United States — from those in the South getting summer plants rolling, to those in the North finally able to stick a shovel in the ground. But with President Obama promoting “victory gardens” where Americans grow some of their own food (to promote thrift, food safety and a do-it-yourself ethic), it’s all too easy to join many other “green” trends where “green” refers to environmentally friendly solutions, but also to laying out a lot of money for something people used to just do.
Could You, Would You, Do You “Freegan”?
This article came up yesterday on MSN — it’s titled, “Freegans: They Live Off What We Toss in the Trash.” You also might have seen it on Oprah, apparently.
Freegans are folks who try to get everything for free, from the trash or giveaway, including food….
Find books for cheap or free reads
If you love to read, you know the cost of books can really add up. A tempting new hardback can run $25 or more. It’s a small price to pay for hours of enjoyment — and sometimes, years of memories, a new skill or a new perspective on life. But when times are tight, books are an area where you can trim costs.
