G Magazine – A Cute Ad From Geico

Posted on by

Lately, it seems like insurance companies have been putting a lot of effort into creating advertisements that will really catch the attention of potential customers. My husband found one from Geico in our mailbox today. It looks like a cute little magazine. It is inevitable that you will find a certain amount of “junk mail” waiting for you when you go to empty your mailbox each day. For us, this generally consists of an batch of advertisements, much like one would find placed inside a newspaper. We don’t actually have any subscriptions to newspapers though, so it is somewhat strange … Continue reading →

How to Save on Magazines, Books and Newspapers

While going through our monthly budget, my husband and I filled out responses to standard budget categories, such as food, clothing, etc. One of the entries was for magazine subscriptions. Anyone looking around our house would think that we pay a fortune for magazines (and books). I’m continually working on paring down the number of magazines that come and stay in our house. Most of us are great readers and will resort to reading toothpaste tubes if we must, so this isn’t easy (but that is a subject for the Home blog). We also tend to have at least one … Continue reading →

Magazine Deals, and All You

Finding coupons in magazines is nothing new. Magazines in your supermarket that focus on home and family have always featured coupons in their advertising. The absolute best magazine for coupon finds is All You, available by subscription, or for purchase at Walmart. All You typically features over $100 worth of coupons. This month’s June issue has a total coupon savings of $112.55. Many of the coupons featured are high value, $1.00 or more. When did you ever see a $3 coupon on Equal? That value jumps right out at me. The magazine itself is a good resource for frugal practices, … Continue reading →

Media Review: Adoptive Families Magazine

Adoptive Families is a comprehensive bimonthly adoption magazine which covers all types of adoption—domestic and international, infant and older child, open, semi-open and confidential, and adopting from foster care. I have found the coverage to be very well-balanced among the different types. In the past two years I have canceled several magazine subscriptions because I don’t have time to read them. Adoptive Families, by contrast, is read cover to cover before I go to bed the day it is delivered. The magazine is written almost entirely by adoptive families. There are sections of advice from experts such as counselors, social … Continue reading →

Still standing after over ten years, it isn’t going anywhere for a long time to come. Making Memories This would be the other “original” scrapbook magazine. Again, … Continue reading →
