We signed up for Wal-Mart's new DVD-by-mail rental program, which is just like Netflix.com, but cheaper. You pay $15.54 per month, and then go to their website and add movies that you want to see to your list. They take the first two movies from your list, that are available, and send them to you. When you are done watching it, just pop it into a postage-paid envelope that comes with it, and drop it into the mail. When they receive that movie, they send you the next available movie from your list. You can keep them as long as you want. Watch it the same day, or next month. No late fees. You can only have two movies out at a time though.

The first month is free, so we thought we would give a try and see if we come out better than renting. We would have to watch six movies per month to come out better than renting locally, but the convenience, and the that it is easier to get hard to find movies, might make it worth it even if we rent less than six per month.

We signed up yesterday, and I just received this e-mail when I got back from lunch:
