Thrifty Magazines

Happy Summer days to you all!

Today's thrifty post is about one of the most expensive things we still enjoy... Magazines! Before Pinterest was born and I still worked one of the treats I gave myself was getting a magazine at the grocery store every week. Of course that was before I became a Thrifty Sissy. LOL!

When you can look on line with Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook it's hard to justify paying $5.00 and up for a magazine filled with advertisements. So I don't because of that, plus I had rather spend my money else where.

I go to the library pretty much every week and I have seen the rack of magazines they have. I've never really wanted to spend time there thumbing through magazines when I like to have a cup of coffee with them at home in my favorite chair.

But just the other day I asked if you could check them out and to my surprise they said yes. Oh my word! That just made my day. I gathered up the five you were allowed to check out at one time and rushed home to get my cup of Joe and settle in to enjoy.

If I happen to see something of interest I just get out my phone and snap a picture of it. Listen it doesn't get any better than this. This will definitely get the "Thrifty Award" of the year. While you can't check out the most recent magazine who cares. You can get them later but you can still go home with five magazines.

Needless to say I'm happier than a pig in slop. LOL! If you are a magazine lover go on down to the library and get some to enjoy this week. Remember to" stay thrifty" and enjoy your week!!
