Tremendous Savings.

Graeme from Blenheim

Nothing better on a cold winters night than sitting in a nice cosy room reading a magazine. In these trying times when money is tight and magazines are so expensive, as a neighbourhood convenor do what we do. Place an off cut from a plastic drain pipe,or similar( many plumbers only too pleased to giveaway rather than throw in the skip.) Fix the pipe to the top of you and your neighbours boundry and their neighbours boundry and so on . Converse with them and see if they will swap magazines. I get the Womans Day ,
. Other neighbours get the New Idea, fishing magazine, Womens Weekly, gardening and even the Ch-Ch press just to mention a few.
When finished reading your magazine you place it in you neighbours tube for them to read and then they pass it on.
Surprising how many different magazine you get weekly.We pay $7.00 approx for the Womans Day and most weeks recieve anything up to $30.00 value in return. Being a pensioner this a fantastic saving. We also put veges such as carrots parsnips celery in the tube plus recipies etc.
We also place a small flag available from a $2 shop on the side of the tube which when up indicates to your neighbour there is something there. Saves going to the letter box more so if you have a long drive or are handicapped in anyway.
Try it.Lots of happy reading and savings are great.
Irene.
