"All You" Magazine & Giant Eagle sales

[ellwoodcitymom]

Just curious if any of my fellow GE shoppers have a subscription to "All You" magazine and if so, do you find yourself using a lot of the coupons that are offered for the GE sales? Thanks!!

Good question! I would love to hear what people think as I was just considering an All You subscription.

IMO, there have been times when the All You coupons worked really well with the GE sales. I'm remembering a Glad votives Cat a couple of years back that had me picking up extra copies of All You at WalMart.

I have a subscription and I do use some of the q's at Giant Eagle. The q's haven't been quite as favorable for me lately but I also really enjoy reading the magazine. It is written more for REAL women, not people who can afford to spend $150 on a pair of jeans. Ton of money saving tips, recipes that don't require special exotic (expensive) ingredients, and inspiring stories.

I purchased my mom a sub. for Christmas and she also loves the mag. It would probably make a great Mother's Day gift!

You can go to the All You website and see a listing of the q's that are in this month's issue to decide if it is something that would benefit you in a material way.

At GE: I used Colgate Wisp 75 cents making them free during the last 2 sales. Dole fruit jars 75 cents this year for free fruit. Halls cough drops were free with coupon this winter.

Ususally, there is one coupon a month that makes for a good sale at GE. I use a few more at the drugstores. The subscription is definitely worth it for me - but I waited until I found it for less than $1 per issue.

I agree with the others that it's worth it. Even if I only use 2 or 3 of the coupons at Giant Eagle, I use plenty of others at different stores, too.

There are good deals every now and then on subscriptions, so wait until you find one before you sign up!

I also agree it is worth it. there are usually several coupons I use and not just at ge. You can get a subscription at a reduced rate most of the time. Do an online search and you can find a really good rate.

I have been disappointed in the AY coupons for a while now.Too many for makeup and not enough for foods and household products. Plan on not renewing my subscription.

I love the magazine articles they actually apply to real women as RAVmom stated. I use dsome of the Qs and if you do HCW's trading, I trade alot of them. They are a hot thing to trade sometimes sincce usually people only have 1 or 2.

I think All You is really hit or miss with coupons. I have also ready the ones you pick up at the store have additional coupons that the subscriptions do not have. I have had varied success in the past but decided not to renew my subscription because of the renewal price. If I can find a deal like I did before $10 for the year I may reconsider.

I just buy mine at Walmart. The April one I got 2 copies of. Most of the coupons I ended up using at Rite Aid...for free Got2Be, Halls, Mars Easter candy, vitamins, makeup. Even if the coupons are for stuff I don't want/use they usually turn into MMs at Rite Aid. Just redeeming 2 coupons pays for the mag.

Some of the food ones I used at Giant Eagle. The April one has a bunch of ConAgra coupons inside for Hunts, Snack Pack pudding, Banquet, Marie Callendar's, etc. I never even read the articles...
