Cut off your cable and start collecting DVDs. You'll save thousands over the years and never have to watch another commercial.

I'm a huge patron of mckays used books, cds, and dvds. Over the last 15yrs I've collected over 400 dvds most of which only cost between 5 and 10 dollars.

Hear that? Instead of paying $10 a month for 300 channels of programming, you could be spending an average of $16 a month and buying two DVDs.

Brilliant!

But at the end of the day what have you got to show for your expenditure?

What will you do without 400 plastic jewel cases filled with 400 very shiney throwing discs when the zombies come calling?

Just a couple more trips to the store and he'll be able to finish watching all of Moonlighting!

We usually borrow them from the library. The occasional ones that become a big hit with the kids we'll go out and buy. Figure since we're paying for that service already we might as well make use of it. They have lots of other stuff to help with the kids education anyway.

Most of your DVDs between $5 and $10 cost you $1.95?

Fascinating.

They're the ones who watch the TV for the most part. Nice to make that time as educational as possible.

Nah, they were adjusted for inflation in the five hours between being five to ten bucks to being two bucks each.

Nice math. It wasn't enough to just demonstrate your inability to calculate a percentage, no. You had to go the extra mile.

And you wonder why conservatives are getting voted out of office. Things like understanding basic math, science, and biology are important.

Once again, you dumb liberals just don't get it. Most of the DVDs were between $5 and $10, while most of them were $1.95. It's obvious.

Maybe he meant their shelf location.

[---$5 DVDs---][===$1.95 DVDs=Shop=Here==][---$10 DVDs---]

For a $1.95, I picture his DVD collection being made up of third rate "direct to video" flicks, unpopular 80's movies and those sad Disney knock-off cartoons you see at WalMart like "Pocahontas: Indian Princess", "The Littlest Mermaid" and "Non-Derivative Tale of Single Father Reef Fish With Mentally Retarded Companion Seeking Lost Child".

I don't know if this is only recent, but Walmart also has a bunch of 98 cent dvds. They are single dvds with things like "The Best of Ghost Busters" (the cartoon) and other old cartoons that nobody really liked in the first place.

I'm going to assume it was the "Ghostbusters" cartoon and not the "The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon as well. Just to add insult to injury.

He has the entire collection of straight-to-video Cuba Gooding, Jr. action movies that are always popping up on Netflix.
