Lemondrop and Redshoes - a big handful of both. Told our Realtor we wanted to see it on the weekend and discovered it was at auction that day, with 3 hours left. I registered with RealtyBid and got on the bidding page. It was an exciting half hour at the end. The jump was $250.00 per hit and I put in my last bid with seconds remaining and then hit it again. So I actually paid $250.00 more than needed, and yes I got it at a good price. It's a 70's era house, added on to in multiple directions and then covered with new vinyl siding. At one time it was appraised for $135,000.00 but that was maybe a hurricane or 2 ago. It cost less than the average unimproved Florida coastal lot in that area. Matthew destroyed our DD's home in Fayetteville, NC and another hurricane could wipe this one out as well. Our Realtor, who could not find anyone who had seen it the day of the auction, went and took photos the next day and we were both surprised. Better photos would have had a different outcome during the auction. All our family is in, or planning to move to Wisconsin, so this will be a family retreat when they can't stand the cold anymore. It's a 3 hour drive from our home in AL. Tallahassee is only 40 minutes away and we are happy as clams. Please keep us updated! And congratulations! |

I just bought the magazine at Costco, it was discounted to $5.59. I'm saving it for our road trip to the cabin tomorrow. It was worth the extra money not to get it at Costco. That $2.50 savings probably would have cost me a $100!!😂    |

I bought my copy at the grocery store this morning....it's published by Meredith Corporation that are headquartered where I live in Iowa so there were tons of copies, but at $7.99 it better be worth it or it will be my first and last copy. I only have one magazine subscription and that's to HGTV's magazine and I adore it, so this one has some stiff competition to live up to for me. I miss magazines! I assumed HGTV mag would be one big ad, I'll check it out. Thanks. |

However they DID have the new fall stuff from Pioneer Woman so I didn't leave empty handed! Lol! So true! I did go to Costco with a list of 8 things I wanted and somehow I walked out with 17 items.  |

I really don't think it's like an ad for the channel at all. My latest copy just came yesterday and I read it cover to cover last night. It's one magazine that I flip through again and again. |

Really? Where are you from? I grew up about 60 miles from Waco. My husband is stationed at Fort Hood right now, we have only lived here 15 months and will be moving again in March. Wish we could stay here. I love Texas! I grew up in Waco (and China Spring) I moved to Houston in 1995 My entire family still lives in the area. My brother lives in Valley Mills. I drive by the Gaines Farm each time I go to see my brother |

I've kept every copy of mine for the past four years. I've been meaning to go through them and cut out the things I really want to save. It's where I got the idea to paint our front door plum (specifically SW 7015 Plummy). So many good ideas in that magazine! |

Correction....SW 7015 is the Repose Gray I just painted my kitchen/family room. Plummy is SW 6558. Be my guest on the steal!  |

Sam's carries it a reduced price too. Some issues are better than others, but when it's a good issue it is GREAT. None of the HGTV magazines leave my house

I wish it was available in a digital format instead and then I could check it out. I get HGTV magazine in digital and I love it. no paper waste and I could keep all the back issues without looking like a hoarder.

I found mine today at Walgreens on my way home. Stopped for my flu shot, and saw it there. Barnes and noble was of course out when I was grabbing a couple things there.
