$5 Magazine Deals at Amazon

Karen Weideman — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:06:32 +0000

Amazon is having another great magazine sale. They have select magazines for only $5 for a full year subscription. This would be a great gift idea for someone special on your list and you wouldn’t need to spend much. Since these are a year subscription, this would be a gift that gives all year long and you can get an entire subscription for about the price of one issue in the stores.

Here’s a list of magazines that you can get for $5 today and the amount you’ll save versus buying from the stores:

Southern Living – 92% off cover price, save $52.88
Golf – 90%, $42.88
Sunset – 90%, $52.88
Essence – 90%, $42.88
Coastal Living – 84%, $26.60
This Old House – 90%, $44.90
Family Fun – 75%, $29.55
Health – 87%, $34.90

Visit Amazon’s $5 magazine deal page. Those interested in the Disney Family Fun magazine should follow this link. Amazon is also have a $10 sale on Entertainment Weekly and InStyle magazines.

I am thinking of purchasing Southern Living. They have beautiful decorating and home ideas, as well as fantastic recipes. Earlier this year, I purchased Real Simple during a $5 sale and I have been really happy with that purchase.

If you are looking for a particular magazine, be sure to search around. I also found deals on Country Living, Good Housekeeping, Rolling Stone, Men’s Journal, and Food Network.

Amazon does allow you to ship the magazines to different locations. Look for the option at the checkout. You should expect your first magazine in February. To give these as gifts, I would recommend printing a certificate and putting it in a card, gift bag, or wrapped box. If you don’t mind spending a little more, you could purchase a copy of the magazine from the store and attach the certificate to it.

Will you be taking advantage of the $5 magazine sale?

Belk Biggest Sale of the Season

Karen Weideman — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 04:29:38 +0000

Belk is one of my favorite places to purchase clothing. I can shop their red dot clearance sales and get quality clothing cheaper than I would at discount stores.

These are a few of my favorite purchases from today. My hubby and I have been wanting some new sheets but I have been waiting around for a bargain. These Wamsutta 500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets are normally$195.00 but I got them for only $58.19. Oh yeah! The dry erase/cork board was regularly $40. Not sure who would paid such a crazy price. I got this for my little girl’s room for only $5.99. I have also been wanting some pilgrim figurines but really didn’t want to spend the money this year. These were regularly $40, but on clearance for $9.59. I know it’s hard to see from the picture, but these earrings are really cute. The steriling silver was 70% off so I got these $30 earrings for $9. (These were a doorbuster sale which has now expired.)

Save with End of Summer Sales

Karen Weideman — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:01:43 +0000

Now is the time to save on summer merchandise with end of summer sales. Stores need to make room for their fall and winter merchandise and you can save big bucks on clearanced summer items.

You can probably find savings on the following items:

summer shoes – sandals, flip flops, water shoes
summer clothing – shorts, short-sleeved shirts, bathing suits
pools
pool equipment
life jackets
lawn furniture
play toys – water guns, buckets, sand toys, floaties, goggles
gardening supplies – plants and pots
school supplies (back to school promotions)
charcoal and gas grills
yard decorations

This is the time of year when I shop for clothes for our family for the following year. I typically save 75% or more on shoes and clothing. It’s a lot easier on my pocketbook to pay $5 for a pair of children’s flip flops, rather than $20. I just can’t rationalize paying $20. Generally, I buy one size bigger than what my children are wearing this year. So far, this has worked out very well. There have only been a few items that didn’t work out. The huge amount of savings was more than the waste and I can usually consign or find a good home for those items.

Today while I was out taking the kids to school, I stopped by CVS. Their summer merchandise is 50% off. Although these types of items are usually overpriced at their store, I was able to pick up some nice sand buckets for the kids for only $2 each.

If you have the extra cash, now it the time to save. Do you shop end of summer sales?
