Twelve Items or Less is a clever comp zine about grocery stores from Low Hug Productions. This square sized zine has great stories, comics and observations from such people as: Carrie McNinch (Assassin and the Whiner, Food Geek zines), Greig (Clutch comic), A.J. Michel (Low Hug zine), Christopher Meyer (28 Pages Lovingly Bound With Twine zine), Celia Perez (I Dreamt I Was Assertive zine), Shawn Granton (Ten Foot Rule comics) and more! This zine has something for everyone from both sides of the checkout from funny comics and stories to food and grocery politics.

This is a Low Hug Productions comp zine about, you guessed it, laundry! It contains lots of stories and anecdotes about laundry, laundromats and laundro facts. This zine is cute and entertaining. I really like the clever touch of adding names of laundromats at the bottom of each page like "The Missing Sock", "Haight To Wash", and "Sit and Spin". Take this zine with you next time you do your laundry. (Alex Wrekk)

This one-shot zine provides a nice closing to A.J. Michel?s ?Life Maintenance Series.? It?s not a how-to cookzine, but rather a collection of anecdotes about cooking. Sixteen contributors ruminate on a wide range of cooking-related subjects. Here you will find hints on how to cook cheap, a tale of the greatest beef stew ever made, odes to both peaches and stir fry, a quest to imitate Grandma?s perfect dinner rolls, and much more. Most contributions are in the form of personal essays, although a couple of comics also complement the text. Potluck! fits nicely in your hand and comes complete with a ribbon place-marker. As is the case with all of A.j.?s zines, this one is top-notch in both design and content. (Sean Stewart)

A combination zine of "Laundry Basket" (the one about making clothes clean), "12 Items or Less" (the one about grocery shopping), and "Potluck" (the one about cooking) for those trying to find literary meaning in their mundane existence of taking care of themselves. Features new illustrations from Greig Clutch, Shawn Granton, and Delaine Derry-Green.

Potluck: It's not a how-to cookzine, but rather a collection of anecdotes about cooking. Sixteen contributors ruminate on a wide range of cooking-related subjects.

Formerly known as Low Hug, Syndicate Product is a contributor based zine with stories centered around a theme. Think of that really cool "Reader's Write" section of the Sun magazine, but without as much yoga. People write in about all sorts of things they've hoarded and can't let go of, from Sassy magazine, to coffee cans, to a wallet that's been used every day for 22 years. Also, record collecting, and a eulogy for tower records. I really love this one!

Industry produced pads and tampons contain Dioxin, one of the most dangerous and toxic chemicals ON THE PLANET; known to cause cancer and birth defects. Commercial tampons also contain rayon, which encourages the overgrowth of yeast and bacteria. The tampon industry alone makes more than $7 MILLION A YEAR off of women. One alternative is reusable cloth maxipads. These pads are sewn from 100% cotton (preshrunk). They contain a removable, absorbent insert (choose thick or thin insert to your preference), and they have wings with snaps for extra soaking and staying power. The underside has a slot for the insert, so you can always add more padding, should you need some. Health is more important than convenience in our opinion. You will have to wash them after each use so when you're not at home, you can carry a plastic bag with you, and save them for when you get home. Boycott the industry and start loving your cunt! Punk rock! Comes with instructions and information about why someone would choose reusable pads as an alternative. If you feel that you are capable of paying more than $4, payment is on a sliding scale of $4-10. If you are capable of paying more, please include it in your order notes.
