Magazine Sale!

I just subscribed to several of these. They are popular magazines for only $3 a year. The sale only lasts a couple of days though; so you need to hurry! I got 5 magazine subscriptions for $15 for the year. I guess you can tell I love magazines huh?

Check out the 3 day sale!

Let's see...

Discover (2 years), Natural Health, Wired, Motor Trend (3 years, for Chip) , Men's Fitness (for my baby) and Baseball Digest (also for my baby - not on sale but a good buy).

I think that about covers it.

Total bill came out to $33.97.


If these don't get read I'm coming after you.

I heard good things about them at a private coupon site that I belong to. Apparantly, they run this sale about once a year for 3 days.

I spent $26.91.

Got Girl's Life for my daughter, Computer ______ something or other, I forget what, for my husband.

I got Kiplinger's, Ladies Home Journal, and Catholic World.

Do we seem eclectic or what?

Have I said that I love magazines?

Five here too. Maybe one day I might actually review the scads (okay, poor word choice) of magazines I receive.

Excellent sale. I'm now awaiting the spam.

I haven't noticed an increase in spam, have you? (I already get a ton so one or two more I wouldn't notice.)

And you'll all be writing reviews of these magazines in a few months, right? Right?

(Making notes of whom to nag about which magazines...)
