I looked at Martie and signed up but I can't buy anything currently. I have a full pantry, a full freezer, gifts for my soon-coming grandson and a firm commitment to buy nothing in April.

As for Better Homes & Gardens, phssss. I am done taking home making advice from others. I love what I love and have what I can afford.
