My thrift store find :)

I was at out thrift store and saw a few kid's magazines.. When I looked closer I found 25 Highlights Magazines (all were from 2001-2003) and 25 Your Big Backyard magazines Not sure when they are from.. Only months on them. I think only ONE was written in! They all came from the same home (left the address label on.. I wouldn't do that personally). I spent about $10.00 for all of them! My kids love them and don't care if they are "outdated".

Just wanted to share

Ohh, I am jealous.

I found two years of baby Bug at our Goodwill, but I walked away because they charge .75 a "book" for kids reading materials.

I used to love Highlights as a kid! Every once in a while they'd send us one of those free issues with the stickers and I remember begging my mom to subscribe. LOL

Great find!
