Look what came in the mail today.
If my marriage could be summed up in a picture, then this would be the one.
And yes, that is a magazine called “Cheaper Than Dirt!”.
It bet it shares a lot of crossover subscribers with “Vogue”.
Except “Vogue” doesn’t use an exclamation point in its title.
But that’s really the only difference.

At least Cheaper Than Dirt gives you some reading material to laugh at while you’re stuck watching Uncle Ted.
And yes, I just requested a copy for my own Uncle Ted watching hubby.
I’m still trying to figure out what the magazine “Gun and Garden” is all about and who its demographic is. Horticulturists with deer problems, maybe?
Why isn’t there a tabloid magazine called “Cheap Dirt” or “Cheap and Dirty”?
I don’t know, if you combined those magazines you could have something interesting.
Beauty Secrets for Off-Road Adventures. People that are Cheaper than Dirt. The possibilities are endless!
How do you have time to read all those magazines, anyway? Or do you just lock yourself in the bathroom when you get especially bothered by humanity? I’ve done that. It works wonders.
Visit To Love, Honor and Vacuum today!
What woman doesn’t dream of having a Cheaper than Dirt, Off Road Adventure while reading People? LOL
I have never heard of a magazine with such an odd name as Cheaper than Dirt.
So, your People magazine came today? Mine usually comes Fridays. Making Friday night the best. night. ever.
There is something about a magazine called cheaper than dirt with a semi automatic weapon on the cover that is unnerving…
I really don’t know what to say!
I hope your fashion advice comes from the one on the left. ;>)
I don’t think it’s nice to call Katherine Heigl Cheaper than Dirt! I think she’s lovely!…oh wait, I should have been more observant of the periodical arrangement. Ours aren’t as exciting as that! Allure and National Geographic for Kids and Photography. YAWN!
Where is your Cabela’a catalog? It is time for the pre-summer sales spectacular.Everything in Mossy Oak is 25% off. I’m surprised you are not all over that.
(I made that up. Don’t tell your husband about the sale and get him all excited.)
you could at least photograph the People with the pages open, so I could sneak a peek 😉 Gotta get my gossip on!
Yeah, I like your subscription much better. Does someone really want their guns to be cheaper than dirt? Well, as long as the quality doesn’t suffer. 🙂
Does your husband get all excited when he sees it like mine? I tried to hide it once but the boys ratted me out.
Does Cheaper than Dirt just cover large guns, or are there other things in there that are cheap? Like, I wouldn’t mind a cheap designer bag, or a cheap gas station. I’m not really in the market for a cheaper than Dirt gun though.
Sad to say, the only magazine that I get is Parenting, and honestly, I don’t even have time to read that. Boring.
Ours looks like that, too, except we also get Guns and Ammo and American Rifleman and about 3 other gun-related ones and Cabellas…and I get Southern Living :0) just to keep in touch with my heritage here in CO.
Too bad the hottest new styles featured in People can’t be cheaper than dirt. 🙂
Love it. We get PC Gamer, Wired, (computer nerd-zines) and Lucky (shopping/fashion). That pretty much sums us up.
I cannot tell you how relieved I am to find another home that receives both People (for me) and Cheaper than Dirt (for him) out there. Honestly – I was beginning to think my hubby was the only subscriber.
I bet you could page through a year’s worth of those publications and never find the same ad.
Different demographics. That’s all I’m saying.
I remember as a new bride bringing the brand spanking new Cheaper than Dirt in from the mailbox. I just saw the title, wasn’t paying any attention to the picture on the front. And I was thrilled! Thrilled I tell you, to see that my new husband was as interested in a bargain as I am. I thought maybe it could be a housewares catalog. Or maybe gifts. Or maybe an Oriental Trading type place. Or better yet…clothes!
Shocked is an understatement. I was deflated to find that it was one of those guns and stuff catalogs.
Oh well, at least it makes him happy.
I have never heard of Cheaper than Dirt…
I looove magazines, too. My personal rule is that I try not to spend more than $25 per yearly subscription. So far, I have scored Oprah for $18/yr (usually $24 and up) and Christianity Today ($26 and up)for $6—got the subscription on EBAY!
You are a lucky duck to get People IN THE MAIL. Thats a pricey one.
I usually have to book extra doctor and dentist appointments to read the current issue.
That was classic. How funny would it be to see pix of what people subscribe to?!
May not wanna know! Anyhoo…I don’t think I’ll ever tire of People or Us.
Cheaper than Dirt just makes me laugh. I may have a new phrase.
We get Cheaper than Dirt! AND “National Rifleman”. OOh, ooh — AND Shooting Times! — I KNOW you are jealous! Guess where my husband is during deer season (and skeet season — which is… always!)
Okay, someone has been lying to me…back in the early days of my marriage, my ever-lovin’ bought a rifle for a hideous amount(could’ve bought at least 2 Coach bags) of money and when my jaw hit the floor he assured me that it was a really good deal, that guns are just EXPENSIVE. Now, I find out they are cheaper than dirt!
I just noticed all these junk magazines at the register last week! I realized what a bubble I live in.
I started to buy a couple of them to title blogs off and I just (seriously) couldn’t make myself bring them in the house.
We actually get cheaper than dirt. 🙂
We totally get more shooting-related periodicals than we do anything else at our house! We get Cheaper Than Dirt, too.
My husband comes from a hunting enthusiast/outdoor fanatic family…so I understand, boy do I EVER.
Ha! We get Field & Stream and Outdoor Life right along with InStyle and Parenting. 😉
Ahhhh… Cheaper than Dirt!
I’d say we have 3 or 4 at our house at any given time.
🙂
I am new to your blog, and I thought this post was so simple but hilarious!
At my house, you would see no magazines. We get them at the library because we actually ARE Cheaper than Dirt. 🙂
Absolutely required reading at our house. He actually orders from it. Last winter, he offered to get me a pair of boots from it. I hurried right of to the shoe store and bought myself boots. Gotta try them on, dontcha know.
Today, a pair of shoes for him came from it. Or Cabelas. He loves them all!!!
Why don’t you ever feature fashions from it on Fashion Fridays?
We get “Cheaper Than Dirt” too. The only way that I can figure that the title is telling the truth is if I imagine that the stuff inside is cheaper than owning dirt in San Francisco or New York City. Because, really, come’on. Who are we fooling? I totally want Nordstrom’s to publish a catalog and title it that. Touche!
