Hot Deal on Magazines including Everyday with Rachael Ray

At lowpricesubs.com you can get 1 year of
Everyday with Rachael Ray for $1.60!!!

I just did it myself!!

They have several other magazines that you can do this with. Here are just a few examples that all work out to be $1.60 with the coupon code June (there is a note on their homepage about using the code July for 20% off but it didn’t work… I had found the code June here and it works perfectly)

Some are 1 year and some are even 2!

Bridal Guide Magazine

Cabela’s Outfitter Journal

Car and Driver

Four Wheel & Off Road

redbook

I purchased Everyday with R.R. (1 yr), Family Fun Magazine (2yrs), Wondertime (1yr), and Women’s Day (3yr for $5). My grand total was… drum roll please…. $8.80

They take credit card or Paypal for payment and you can expect your publications in 4-16 wks… for the price I’m willing to wait for them. Just printed my receipt and will keep it handy until they all come.

I had never heard of this site before, so this is my first attempt at using them. I did do some research and found that most everyone that has ordered from them was satisified with what they received. I felt like for $8 it was worth the try for me.

Hot, Hot, Hot!! 55% off Amazon Groceries!!

55% off of grocery items at Amazon with coupon code CLRNCFTY.

Code is good through 9/30/08, but good items are going fast so order soon!

If you look around there are some good buys on items that never have coupons.

I might have to order some Starbucks coffee myself. We stopped going there and I did some research and bought a good espresso machine and now we just make our own coffee beverages… they’re even better than the ones they make if I must say so myself.

Free Bracelet for women and teenage girls…

Free Take a Test-Not the Risk Bracelet for women and teenage girls… a reminder that you can be disease stricken when you are sexually active even when you use a condom! If you didn’t know that, check out this site and sign up for the bracelet. There is a lot of good information on the site as well.

This topic is dear to me as I worked in an OB/GYN office for six years and we saw it everyday. You can carry HPV for years with no signs or symptoms and normal pap tests and then one day it becomes active and starts causing the cells on you cervix to change. That is why it is so important to have paps done on a regular basis even if you are no longer sexually active. You may be fine for 20+ years and one day, Bingo!, changes start to happen. It’s important to catch those changes early so that it can be stopped before it becomes a serious problem.

Also keep in mind that there are some new vaccines out to help prevent the most common/serious forms of HPV. They are better served to be given before someone becomes sexually active, but can have some benefits if you already are. Talk to your doctor about your options.

To see a website for one of the vaccines, click on the I CHOSE above.
