Had to share my great magazine deal. Amazon is running a special for a year subscription to Southern Living Magazine for only $5. Plus you get free shipping. What's even better is that I had a $5 Amazon gift card from using Swagbucks (see my sidebar), so I got a year completely FREE! Yay!

Now, this would've been even sweeter if I hadn't sent my husband and he hadn't let the cashier use her store bonus card to ring this up, because I qualified for the second Kelloggs Rebate through Bi-Lo which would've been an extra $10 savings. :( I have to chalk it up to bad luck and try to remain thankful that my hubby was willing to go to the store for me. But it would've meant a savings of 77% instead....
