Movies take viewers on journeys to other worlds and historical periods without having to leave the couch—which is a noble act, as most couches suffer separation anxiety when left home alone. Avoid the therapy bills with today's Groupon: for $15, you get three months of unlimited DVD rentals three at a time from Zip.ca. The first month of service is always free for new subscribers, with each subsequent month regularly priced at $25—raising this Groupon's total value to $50. Following the three months included under this Groupon, customers will automatically be charged the full monthly value for the unlimited three-at-a-time DVD service. Customers that do not wish to maintain this service at full price must cancel or alter their subscription before the beginning of the fourth month; to cancel or alter, visit the contact page.

Zip.ca's online movie and television emporium provides film buffs with a selection of more than 82,000 titles ranging from Ferris Bueller's Day Off to Inception to build a personal list of must-sees deliverable directly to their mailboxes. With Zip.ca's most popular plan, DVDs are speedily mailed to your door, so the number of rentals granted per month is limited only by the viewers' ability to cruise through their discs, though you can only have up to three discs at one time. As benevolent as it is convenient, Zip.ca offers free shipping throughout Canada, postage-paid return envelopes, and no late fees so customers can linger over their favourite flicks without experiencing the debilitating debt often incurred at libraries and riverboat casinos. For the digitally advanced, Zip.ca also offers Blu-rays at no extra charge. Zip.ca makes an eco-friendly alternative to traditional video stores, as it allows customers to avoid polluting the atmosphere with car fumes or bursts of profanity triggered by an overlooked late fee from 1984 for the film Nineteen Eighty-Four.
