Only one day left on this fantastic Amazon $5.00 special on rare magazine subscriptions. It expires after 3/31/15.

Wowwowwow!
Amazon is running another $5.00 per year special, this time on uber-popular magazine subscriptions that very rarely go on sale, like Sports Illustrated (6 months), Cooking Light, All You and more.
This promotion will run through 3/31/15 and includes the following magazines for
$5.00 per year for one year (unless otherwise noted), in most cases,
12 issues for 42 cents each:
I immediately snagged the 6-month
Sports Illustrated subscription for my husband. He's going to be over the moon. I've never seen it priced this low. Ever.
By the way, if you already have a subscription to these magazines, this deal is also good on renewals as well, even if you didn't buy them from Amazon originally (just use the same name and address that you used to subscribe; check your magazine mailing label). Your subscription will be extended by another 12 issues for only $5.00.
These can also be sent as gift subscriptions as well, and Amazon will let you send a little note with the gift. These make awesome gifts.
Now, as part of the promotion, all of these subscriptions are set to auto-renew at a higher price once the subscription is up. Here's what you do to shut down that auto-renewal: right after you subscribe,
under your Amazon account, click on the Manage Magazine Subscriptions link, find the name of the magazine you just subscribed to and de-select the auto-renewal option. Voila, bye bye auto-renewal!

I was skeptical about buying these because they were so much cheaper than other brands. I've never used other brands, but I am happy to say our family loves these. I have a 5 year old, 2 year old and 1 year old boys and they have already taken a lot of abuse and held up great. The magnets are strong enough to build things quite tall. You can carry some sturdier creations around without them breaking, but a lot of them will break if you try to carry them. That's not an issue for us though as we don't usually feel the need to move them around. My 5 year old has really shown creativity with these and he has played with them almost daily since he got them for Christmas nearly a month ago. Lately he loves to make creative boxes and containers and put toys or "presents" in them for us. I've also noticed everyone who sees my Son play with them wants to try them. My husband and I actually enjoy playing these with our kids so much that we ordered a second set today.
