you own a DVD player and have
never ever bought a DVD disc before?
You are one rare bird! Sure, most
people rent way more than buy, but never
ever bought even one? wow...

rentals

I see no need to own things like that. The only things I buy retail are
paper products and groceries, pretty much. But even
