Amazon is having a little weekly deal right now…$5 yearly subscriptions on select magazines.
And I, Katie Bower the first, just purchased my own first Christmas present. presents.
…that needs to be plural. for all 32 issues that will be delivered to my house in the next year.
High fives all around!
I decided to go with Good Housekeeping (since I will be a full-time housewife in about nine weeks and have no idea how to keep a house and because I want to eat those cookies),
Country Living (because I am fully aboard the country train…Jeremy, can we move to Montana?)
and House Beautiful (because it is my favorite decor magazine…and because the houses are just so darn beautiful).
Anyone else ordering a $5 magazine subscription? SmartMoney? RedBook? Bazaar? Marie Claire? Anyone?
Katie says
Thanks for sharing this sale! I am ordering a subscription to SmartMoney for my husband – it will be a great stocking stuffer… although he will probably open it and say I am the one who should be reading it, not him. 🙂

I picked up Real Simple a while back through one of Amazon’s $5 deals. How do they do it?
When I found myself reading one of my mother’s issues of Good Housekeeping a few years ago, I came to the realization that I was, indeed, becoming my mother.
Congratulations to you! 🙂
Erin says
THANK YOU!! I couldn’t resist Cosmo 🙂

We got Sunset for $5 (since we’re here on the left coast).
I didn’t see Real Simple for $5 as another commenter mentioned – now that would be a good deal!
allbowerpower says
I know Chacha….I actually went back to doublecheck about Real Simple too. I guess we’ll just have to keep our eyes peeled for that deal in the future!

Merry Christmas to us!!!
alison says
Totally! I got Real Simple, House Beautiful and Country Living! Keep em coming!
Miss Em says
House Beautiful and I was thisclose to Bazaar (it inspired me to want to become a fashion designer in HS). Thanks for sharing this great find!
Miss Em says
Oh, and while I’m here, I was browsing around your craft pages and some of the links on the posts bounce back to your main page instead of the intended site (they appear to be posted originally on blogspot). Didn’t know if you knew, thought I’d bring it to your attention. 🙂
MrsRoy says
I went with Real Simple just after Thanksgiving- I LOVE that magazine!! 🙂
L.Duncan says
More $5 magazines?!?! Great! I’m headed over to amazon.com right now
BTW, The Real Simple for $5 was for the “black Friday-Cyber Monday” deals. I got my subscription!!!

Liz says
Thanks for the heads up! Got myself 24 belated stocking stuffers headed my way next year!
Destine says
I actually picked up Real Simple as well right after Thanksgiving, but am so tempted to go back for more! Such a great deal! 🙂
susan says
i did this last week and got the real simple magazine year subscription for 5 bucks so naturally i ordered it for myself and my 2 sisters. amazing!
Alicia says
Last week they had “Real Simple” for $5!! I jumped on that RIGHT away 🙂
Meredith says
Oh my goodness, thanks for sharing that one! We just found out that our Christmas budget is tiny, but this is definitely the perfect gift!!!! Thank you!!!
Courtney says
Just got Country Living & House Beautiful! Thanks for the heads up!! =)
Also, I’m getting Seventeen for my little sister!
Laura @ so alaurable says
I snagged Real Simple earlier this year – score! I do have a question, though. I was going to buy some as presents, but what if the recipient already has a subscription? Does it automatically tack on the additional issues at the end?
Sheryl J says
Thanks for the heads up. I love amazon!
angela says
I renewed my subscription to Real Simple!! I also got food network magazine for $5 from a Hearst magazine sale.
Laura says
Thanks for the update, I have a few gift subscriptions to get this year, this will save me some money. I personally get the food network mag, i’m a big food network nerd. They’re my celebs. I accidentally get the Good Housekeeping mag and it’s pretty good. Speakin of magazines – you can get a free one year subscription to “babytalk” magazine. So take advantage of it. It’s got fun tips and cute “lets take advantage of the first time mommy and make her want to buy all this useless stuff” articles. You’ll totally dig it!
It really is FREE!

Laura says
Laura @ soadorable, I have purchased subscriptions for people before when they already have one. It just gets added on to their existing subscription. Pretty cool.
allbowerpower says
Thanks Laura for answering that one…I was trying to see if I could find the answer – so you are definitely to the rescue here!

Nicole says

Rebekah says
The House Beautiful magazine that you have here has a yummy Apple Cake recipe. Mmmmm:)

Amy says

allbowerpower says
