wal*mart has rotisserie chicken. and to think i never knew this and i've been paying two dollars more for it everywhere else. we hadn't had rotisserie chicken in awhile and were only going to get it if wal*mart had it since we were making a stop there on the way home. 'twas nummy! they have a few flavors: honey roasted, jalapeno, regular, and lemon pepper. we got lemon pepper. these are nice things to know. we ate it with steamed rice and green beans, which we made at home, so we ate dinner for less than five bucks. love that.
blockbuster has 2 for $5 rentals on favorites (non-new releases). i don't know if it's just a limited time thing, but it's a pretty good deal since, sometimes, we don't always watch movies the night we rent them...or even within the week after renting them. and since they're already five day releases and blockbuster has pretty much given you an extra week after your rental period to get your movies back, it's not a bad deal at all. it's more money than redbox but the deal is on older movies which redbox doesn't have and if you're one to take your time watching movies or are bad about returning movies back within a few days of renting them, it can be a better deal than redbox...you just mind up paying for the days you keep your movie out upfront. so, tonight, i was in a total mel gibson directing mood after watching apocolypto. i was in a mood to watch braveheart and after mark teased about watching passion of the christ too, i actually felt like watching that as well. so we rented both. the 2 for $5 thing only works if you rent two movies anyway. 'cause if you rent only one favorite, it's 4.65 so so worth the extra for 35 cents.
from rotisserie chickens to dvd rentals. i guess i'm all about the sales pitches tonight.
i'm going to get off here and wrap a couple more of the gifts we got tonight, maybe pop in a movie i'll prolly fall asleep watching, but i definitely plan on falling asleep before midnight and i think i just might be able to do it!
