It’s just now that I find out a very dear publication has gone down the tubes.
Budget Living officially closed its doors on Valentine’s Day, 2006. No more issues. Ever.
Guess this explains why the winter and spring issues never made their way to my mailbox.
According to Budget Living’s web site, my name is currently being provided (sold?) to Hearst, so that I can get another stupid magazine to fulfill my subscription. I simply can’t wait until my complimentary issue of Shop, Etc. comes in the mail! (/sarcasm)
I guess a magazine that encouraged people to spend smart, make neat DIY projects, host backyard parties and find oh-so-stylish bargains couldn’t be long for this earth.
But, damn, I miss it.
Hat Tip: Fine On Media
Uhm, I think that Shop Etc. went under too, but I'm not sure. You really need to read Gawker, babe -- I've already completed my mourning period for Budget Living!

Hey Twisty! Them Bass Pro Shop catalouges are pretty good too now... If they go out of business, I'm gonna fall back on Cabella's... I'm just sayin'.
