ALL YOU MAGAZINE HAS IT ALL -- COUPONS, RECIPES , FRUGAL TIPS & MORE!


#sponsored This is a sponsored post written by Mama to 5 Blessings on behalf of All You and their PR Company.



All You Magazine, ahhhhhhhhhh...... It was written for me! I have heard so many great things about this magazine from other frugal moms like myself so I decided to give it a try. With kids in tow I headed to Publix to do some grocery shopping and of coarse pick up my All You Magazine for the month of July.
 
 
Inquisitive I opened the magazine intrigued, I did not want to put the magazine down I wanted to read it from front to back but I knew at that very moment, my kids were antsy and I had shopping to do! So while I shopped my four year old daughter browsed through the All You Magazine, she loved it too!
 
 
I was so excited that Publix carries the All You Magazine! I do a bulk of my grocery shopping there so it is very convenient for me to purchase this magazine monthly while I do my grocery shopping. I remember as a kid my mom always did our grocery shopping at Publix and now as a mom to 5 I do my shopping there too! Publix has great deals and the buy one get ones are perfect for a family of 7 who live on a budget! Shopping at Publix is definitely a pleasure!
 
When I got home I soaked up the pages of the magazine. Reading ways to stretch every dollar -- with great suggested free money saving apps I can install on my smartphone for additional savings! I never thought about apps to help me to save money! Speaking of saving money the July edition has fantastic tips on cleaner your house faster and cheaper! A busy homeschool mom to 5 little ones so needed to read this! I never thought of these clever tips before; for example: instead of vacuuming my sofa's use a lint brush instead! No fumbling with cords and vacuum accessories!
 
I particularly found the recipes in this magazine fantastic! For someone like myself I need quick, healthy and inexpensive recipes to make and for my family to like the All You Magazine fulfills just that! Having my 5th baby 2 months ago I am trying to lose that pregnancy weight. The July edition has an Eat to Lose article with delicious recipes. I decided to make one of them modifying the recipe just a bit.
 
Blackberry-almond Smoothie
 
1/2 cup of Almond Milk
1/2 Cup Vanilla Yogurt
1/2 Cup fresh or frozen blackberries
1/2 Banana
1 tsp Honey
2 tsp Natural Peanut Butter
Dash of cinnamon
 
The recipe in the All You Magazine calls for almond butter instead of peanut butter and regular low-fat yogurt.
 
 
I took all the ingredients and blended them all together until everything was fully blended and the seeds in the blackberries we gone.
 
 
Once it's fully blended it is thick, creamy and delicious! I had this for lunch and it was very filling and satisfying! This is a recipe I will definitely make again and add it to my smoothie recipe collection!
 
 
The Eat to Lose article has many other delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even snacks! Plus the July issue offers 31 family recipes! No need to open up a cook book to scour for recipes, this magazine has it all in one place!
 
Lastly very dear to my heart --- COUPONS! I am a coupon fanatic! All You Magazine has $30.35 exclusive coupons and deals in the July issue! Coupons that you will not find in the Sunday paper or in other magazines! This magazine pays for itself between the coupons and money saving tips how could you not want this magazine on a monthly basis?

  21. I need to subscribe to all you - i always check coupon databases for products that i am planning to buy and usualy have all coupons except the all you ones and they are usually high value and on items that i can't find coupons on otherwise so im always bummed not to have those coupons.
