When I heard about Collective Bias’ Cheap Date Night Challenge, along with a FREE Blockbuster Express movie I felt exuberant! Goodness knows, this will be my first date in 10 years. Check out my whrrl for pictures! You’ll see how easy it is to rent a movie from the Blockbuster Express Kiosk and my one-pot meal.
So whom did I choose? I chose a Girls Night In, with my friend Debra. Just in case she couldn’t make it, Plan B is Family Night Out with my family. So either way, I get to see a free movie (Sandra Bullock? Here I come). I just made a resolution to spend more quality time with my BFF’s – my girlfriend Debra has just experienced a traumatic accident and we’re both vegans (well, I am a vegan who eats chicken, pork, beef and a little tofu J).
So I ran (in the car) to Blockbuster Express, the only one in Utah, luckily in Sandy, just a few miles from home. I got a cool video (I am not telling which one I picked that isn’t fair but you will see in pics!) with my movie rental code and then went shopping – ($25.00 was the limit for foodies and dinner makings) so in the cart went broccoli, carrots, aida sausages, potatoes, garlic, bread and soda, with Ben & Jerry’s as dessert.
Girls Night In had begun! Debra arrived with a good bottle of wine (like Broad Z, Debra is a Mansionetta) and we hogged in! See us in front of the TV? (See Jane run? Sorry, I don’t often get “out” so I get very excited!).
Just what we needed – gossip, makeup talk, work talk, guy talk, a great movie (thanks Blockbuster Express) and a great meal to boot! The evening was fun and warm, the food simple and delightful, the movie great – but most of all we created a tradition. Once a week with a Blockbuster Express movie and a dinner – how priceless is that?
You can create your own cheap date night as well. Just use the PROMO CODE: 5G13B22 when you rent your DVD and you’ll get a second rental free (basically two for the price of one).
NOTE: Code is valid thru 3/31/2010. When you rent a movie at the regular price, you’ll receive the first night’s rental on a second movie FREE. Extra night charges and taxes apply. May not be combined with any other offer. Rental terms and conditions apply. Not valid at Blockbuster store locations.
A well fed happy reviewer signing out! Broad A

Ok, so I gotta ask, how did you like the movie? You picked one that I have not seen yet? So I saw a great movie today – The Blind Side – AWESOME, you gotta check it out. It's available at the Blockbuster Express kiosk too – and oddly enough, not available at Netflix or redbox….?

Yes, I want to see The Blind Side as well. Blockbuster has an exclusive deal with Warner Brothers movies….that's why they had it first.
