I'm out

I have been waiting a looooooong time for the magazine subs to go on sale, so I bought two years each of Alfred Hitchcock and Ellery Queen. I was smart though, once I found out that Micropay would work for it, I bought enough stuff to round out my micropay and then used that

I was not going to spend money and just get the mags when I could spend the same money and get the mags PLUS 5 books! I know the savings on the subs wasn't extraordinary, but for some reason getting it under $20 per year makes me much more comfortable with the price point. I have had these in my wishlist for well over a year, so I am okay with breaking my no-buying pledge just for this
