Martha, Martha, Martha.... Martha Stewart Living

You may have read on my blog previously about how much "I love Martha Stewart", but there is a cost to loving Martha Stewart in Australia particularly if you want to read Martha Stewart Living magazine.
Can you believe the cost of a 12 month subscription in Oz... $245.00!!
If I lived in the US and could buy it through Amazon the same 12 month subscription $28.00!!
Current exchange rate of the Australian dollar doesn't explain it.
Borders Australia sells individual copies somewhere between $17 and $21.95 depending on how our dollar is trading. If I want to wait a month I can get Canadian copies of Martha Stewart Living for around $15 each.
*Sigh* I only get the "occasion issues"; Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving & Halloween but I do love my Martha and treasure every copy.

OMG! I wonder how much it would cost to mail it to you from the States... what a rip off to you guys!

Lol, I know... it's funny in a sad tragic way ;) We can definitely wield an 'import tax' here!
Dear Lone Baker,
What disappointing information about obtaining Martha Stewart Living in Australia. Can you believe those prices? However, thanks for the tip about going to Borders. I'll try that. Also, at the moment, I am very distressed not to be getting the new shows on cable tv. We have all the foxtel channels on our tv, and she is nowhere to be found - only repeats. I have replied on facebook to them, but I don't think they are taking much notice of little old me. Nice to see another Martha fan.
