I quit buying quilting magazines, recipe magazines and novels. Nothing gripes me more than a magazine in plastic. LOL I check them out from my public library. I see lots of pretty things in magazines but, honestly, I can't say I have ever made any of them. And, I get really tired of all the pages of advertising. One of the ways I save money. I am really getting cheap these days...in fact, I was in a bookstore yesterday and shocked my DH by NOT purchasing any novels (I do not care for the novel selection at the public library..to heavy on mysteries). I have given away boxes and boxes of magazines and novels this summer. I am going to purchase a NOOK and download novels from now on. I am simply running out of bookcase shelf space in my home.
