Probably more expensive, but more useful. Maybe you need a Barnes & Noble gift card.
That always happens to me too! And then, when you let them lapse, they start having some great patterns. Having said that, I just subscribed to an offer of Quiltmaker and Love of Quilting for $25 for 1 yr. I figured I would probably spend $25 on a few during the year, so I went for it. It is harder to find magazines since HL stopped selling, and Joann's and Michaels put their rack in the cashier line. If you turn around to look for a magazine, you lose your place in line, or people in line get rude with you (you are in their way) if you stand there looking at magazines. Just not worth it! B&N too far to drive just to look for a magazine.
