Magazines... I love them.
Recently, I noticed I have a subscription to Better Homes Garden up to 2012.
Whoops! How did that happen?
Well, I pay my bills. Thats good. I renew subscriptions of magazines I would like to keep. However, I just need to pay more attention. Especially, with the fact I already renewed the subscription 6 months ago.
Ah! Dang nab it! (My father's favorite cuss words - if you have never heard this before, make sure the "nab it" slurs together)
Last week I received another offer to renew my subscription for another "3 years for the price of one year". Nice offer, but... does these magazine have a stopping point!? Or do they keep offering until the person has a subscription up to the year 3008 and beyond? I can only make that kind of commitment to my husband. Plus, do we really know where we are going to be in 5 year+?
....Well I am not a sucker anymore.

Hey Jenn,
I too get these annoying renewals! I think these companies are trying to book revenue in the current year to get their numbers up! It seems that this must be a successful strategy for them, as they sure blast us with correspondence. I have also noticed that I have been getting some subscriptions to magazines I didn't order. Then a few months later, I get a RENEW NOW for the best price ever known to man kind offer. Go figure?
I confess, I have a really bad habit of ordering magazines and then forgetting to pay for them...
