ALL YOU Magazine Review and Giveaway! (NOW CLOSED)

by Stephanie on April 7, 2009

all-you-magazine

ALL YOU magazine is designed for the value-driven American woman, and every issue is packed with realistic advice, practical solutions and affordable ideas for every area of life. ALL YOU features money-saving strategies, fashion ideas for every body type, easy-to-prepare recipes, and more.

I’ve talked about ALL YOU before, so when I was given the opportunity to review the April Issue I, of course, said yes! Tell everyone about my favorite magazine? Would love to!

What I love about this magazine (besides the coupons) is that it is realistic! So many magazines say things like “get this dress for ONLY $250! ALL YOU features clothes from affordable stores like Payless Shoe Source, Kohls, and Walmart, and they often use real women instead of models in their editorial! In the April issue they are showing four women who need a new look, how to dress for real life. You can see how they put together a complete outfit (including accessories!) for under $100 on their blog.

Another great feature is their “1 week, 5 easy meals.” It includes 5 dinner recipes that sound delicious and look easy to make. They even include a shopping list! I love that they are meals I would actually make, and that I can find all the ingredients at my grocery store.

I love to read the magazine, but I honestly buy it for the coupons. The April issue includes $51 worth of coupons including a coupon for a FREE Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara! Check out their Coupon Index to see a full list of the coupons in each issue.

ALL YOU is sold at Wal-Mart stores nationwide and by subscription.
