Swap-A-DVD (How I Am Building Emma’s DVD Collection Without Breaking the Bank!)
Fun Stuff, Parenting — By Lindsey on July 29, 2010 at 11:42 amI’ve been using Swap-A-DVD a lot lately – ever since we canceled cable and I found myself without my daughter’s favorite programs. No more Winnie the Pooh? Oh NO!
So I started pricing the DVDs online and was really unhappy with my finds. Children’s DVDs are SO expensive! At this rate, I would never have a good collection of my daughter’s favorite cartoons. I was discouraged. But suddenly I remembered that my favorite website, PaperbackSwap, where I swap books regularly (I shared information on that here), had a sister site called Swap-A-DVD that allowed members to swap their DVDs for free! So I headed straight over to see what they had available.
And I was SO delighted to see that they had quite a few different Winnie the Pooh and Little Einsteins DVDs available! I didn’t really have any DVDs I wanted to swap out (it’s easy and free, though!) so I purchased DVD credits instead. I bought 3 for $14.85. Note that it is much cheaper to send out DVDs (thereby earning credits) since all you pay is shipping – you can even use the printable wrapper to wrap your DVDs and that saves money on shipping materials. It’s SO easy. And 1 credit = 1 DVD.
Oh, and did I mention that if you have a DVD you really want, you can put it on a wishlist and eventually you will get it? It’s really a great program, one I’m so happy to be a part of.
Sweet Deal: When you sign up, after you post 10 DVDs to swap you will automatically receive 1 free credit!
Are you ready to sign up?

Note: I am not working with SwapaDVD in any way; however, this is my personalized link and I will get a credit if you sign up and post 10 DVDs. If you do use my link, THANK YOU! You are awesome. :) But you don’t have to, of course. Either way, it’s a wonderful site and I LOVE IT! I hope you do, too!

What a great idea. Thanks for the info. I’ve used the book swap a lot in the past but hadn’t looked into the DVD swap part.

Swap a DVD is great. I’ve been using it for several years now and love it. And paperback swap has been great for kids’ books too.

I had never heard of this! I will have to check it out, even if you have to purchase credit’s it’s still a lot cheaper than buying new ones. Plus you have a bigger selection than if you just looked around at garage and friend of the library sales like I have been. I have quite a few I could swap too☺
