Thrifty Thursday - Free Magazines


This morning I woke up to an email from FreeBizMag.com. In it was the following link:

http://www2.freebizmag.com/10023695/welcome.html?ref=email2&tcode=&fid=104273008495


If you want free magazines, click the link. Whether you need some for crafting or you just need extra reading material, they have a huge selection of informative literature with colorful pictures. You'll be taken to a page where you have to give up some information to continue. This combination has always worked for me in the past. If you aren't sure what to put, just select whatever. They make it easy for parents of home schooled children.

  1. Industry
    - Education
    - Other education
  2. Job Area
    - Education
    - 08: Teacher / Educator
  3. Company Size
    - 1 - 4

Next, select the featured title. Then, scroll down and click "Continue".


You'll be taken to a page called "Qualify for Your Selections" like this. While you have to answer every question. However, you do not have to answer YES to every question. You might have to answer something multiple choice like the size of your company or your business industry. And of course, you have to provide the first letter of the state you were born in, to prove you're a real person. Once this is done, click "Continue" again.


This will take you to a page called "Please Sign In". If you have an account, sign in. If you don't, it's safe to create one. You can always set up a gmail account called something like homeschoolfreebies4me@gmail.com or something so your regular inbox doesn't get cluttered with mail. This site's pretty good and only sends me email a couple of times per week.


Now you should be at a page called "You've Reached the Last Step".Just fill in your name and address and at the bottom, click submit.

THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT -- YOU ARE NOT DONE YET!


See this page here? It's the "Check out Our Great Offers" page. Click no on everything, and then click "Submit" again.


This is going to take you to an offer for magazines. In huge letters it will say "YES! SHIP MY SELECTIONS >>" and in teeny, tiny letters beside it, "no thanks" -- you'll want to click "no thanks". Magazines are free, trust me on this.

Then a pop-up comes up that asks if you're sure you want to click this offer. Yes, yes you are sure!


And that's it! Your application is complete. Wasn't that easy? And now you're getting a free magazine!

Our family has skipped some of the titles offered. Most of the ones we take them up on are automotive or science related. Honestly, my boys have shocked me with some of the titles they actually wanted to read like Tech Briefs, Solar Today, and something about farm machinery.

If you're looking for free magazines, whether for crafting or just to have extra reading material around, try this site. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
