they're selling a magazine subscription.  The magazine was
average, and not too bad a deal unless they've raised their
price since then.

I never did get to the trying new products part because you
have to send for the form to fill out to sign up for it,
and the form to get the form wanted membership numbers and
such that I never got around to putting together (partly
because I wanted to wait until I moved and then couldn't
find my paperwork and the little plastic card they sent --
you need a number from the card AND from the sticker they
send later).  Some of the products being tested were worth
more than your membership fee, but mostly it was stuff like
bowls and spice mixes.  Possibly on the form I never got
around to ordering you can tell them if you don't want to
mess around testing mixes, or whatever.  I suspect the
hoop-jumping may be partly to weed out people that would
forget to send their review forms back, but it would make
sense to match people up with someting they'd use (not, of
course, that that means they do it...)

There were supposed to be deals on books and such but they
stopped sending me stuff the first time I didn't want
something and sent it back.

I did get a cute set of "pinch"-"dash" measuring spoons and
a rubber tube supposedly for peeling garlic out of it, and
found an useful article in one of the magazines.  If I were
a working mom I probably would have found the magazines
more useful -- heavy on the budget, family,  and shortcut
stuff, not a lot on cooking-for-one.  As I recall I paid
$24 for a year and didn't feel cheated but didn't renew
either.
