Post Hanukkah Deals

My favorite thing about Christmas is the post Christmas Hanukkah sales!!  I love love love them! When visiting a non-Jewish section of a Cleveland suburb over New Year's, I picked up the goodies below.  And, of course all with the Bed, Bath and Beyond 20 percent coupons on top of the deep discounts.

The local NYC Bed, Bath and Beyond in Chelsea had an excellent Hanukkah selection but I did my best to not buy anything. (It was tough.)  Also, I snagged goodies at Papyrus, the fancy paper good and gift store, where I bought pretty hand dipped menorah candles and gorgeous picture frames for gifts, both (75% off).

CVS sometimes has good deals as does Rite Aid.  I didn't find much there this season but I think others did.  How did you do?

Is All You magazine worth it?

Almost every magazine we get is from free subscriptions including Rolling Stone, Better Homes and Gardens, Family Fun, Martha Stewart Living, and many more.  In fact, I'm pretty selective about the magazines allowed to come into the house since I tend to hold on to them for a while.

That said, I just purchased two subscriptions.  One subscription is to the overpriced American Girl magazine as a Hanukkah present for FL10 that I got as a school fundraiser from my godchild.  The other is the much touted All You magazine I keep hearing about in so many blogs. Mostly, folks say it's  great for coupons.  Now, I'm not much of a couponer though I give it a try now and again. NYC gets terrible coupons from the coupon flyiers like Smartsource and it's not always possible to get the good coups online. Sometimes I try, but usually I wait for sales and buy then.  However, when All You went on sale for $5, I figured, why not?  So, my second issue came today.  While I liked the content well enough this issue (more so over last issue) there weren't a ton of coupons and not necessarily for products I use. It's early yet, but these are my first observations. 

Any of you enjoy this magazine or find it money saving by way of the coupons?
