Thanks so much for sharing this! Just completed the “tweet” and received the credit!

Awesome thanks. I love Amazon video.

Rachel July 16, 2011 at 10:29 am

thank you so much!! we don’t have cable and so watch one show on itunes or amazon, but since we are trying to cut back to pay off more debt, we stopped doing even that. This will be such a nice treat!

Rachel, have you tried Hulu? There are plenty of free shows and movies on there.

Kelly July 16, 2011 at 11:30 am: Also, go to network websites (NBC, CBS, ABC…), you can watch shows through them for free.

Rachel July 16, 2011 at 11:45 am

Magda and Kelly, we do use those options too, but this particular show is not available for free yet, unfortunately, only clips!

Kelly July 16, 2011 at 12:37 pm: That always bums me out. I just so excited and it’s just a clip.
We just dropped satellite and went to internet only.
One option is Netflix. They offer a variety of shows streamed through the internet. I know their prices are changing in Sept but if it fits your budget and they have shows and movies you like, it would be worth it.

Here’s a copy from an email they just sent:
Plan 1: Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) for $7.99 a month
Plan 2: Unlimited DVDs (including Blu-ray), 1 out at-a-time (no streaming) for $9.99 a month

Your price for getting both of these plans will be $17.98 a month ($7.99 + $9.99). You don’t need to do anything to continue your memberships for both unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs.

Thanks for the link, Crystal! I hadn’t used Amazon VOD yet, but we’re really tight right now trying to fully-fund our emergency fund, so it’s nice to get little extras like this for entertainment.
