I'm a Canadian Popsugar subscriber (I get them shipped to a border depot, and pick them up every month or so - 2 hour round trip!). I use the coupon codes for my subscription, and end up paying under $35 a box. I opted not to upgrade under the old pricing, but then my hubby bought me a year with the black friday sale (yay!).
As long as I get $35 worth of use, I am happy. I end up using the rest as gifts, or selling on local kijiji or facebook groups. My husband didn't know that I would be getting two December boxes as my current subscription ends this month, but I'll have no problem getting two boxes this month. The wine glasses will be great for movie in the park/music in the park events that are held weekly all summer - I can bring them along with a bottle of wine and be classy without worrying about breaking my Riedel glasses that I would never take outside my house. The extra bracelet will be going to one of my girlfriends for Christmas, the extra mascara to my bosses daughter, and the wrapping paper will be used on gifts this year.
As for the chocolate debate, I bought a box of the holiday Ghirardelli already at $6.99 for 9 squares at Winners. Try melting a square or two in one cup of almond milk on the stove. It tastes delicious, especially the egg nog flavoured one. I'll be putting the ones I get in my Popsugar boxes out during my annual Boxing Day brunch this year as well, saves me from buying more chocolate

Maybe it's because I've been a subscriber for only four months, but I quite enjoy receiving Popsugar each month, and find it worth the drive to the border. I do take breaks from other subscriptions from time to time (Ipsy, Topbox, Glymm, Glossybox, Loosebutton) as they do get repetitive. I try to only have two subscriptions at a time.
Yay, I do the same thing! It's so nice to find a fellow Canadian PS subscriber on here
! And I'm a 2-sub-boxes-at-a-time subscriber too. Right now I'm doing PS and FairIvy
And as for the Ghiardelli, they're not nearly as cheap here as they are in the States, so I don't mind receiving them in my box. I'm going to try melting some into my almond milk. Big almond milk fan here!
