There are lots of clubs. My DH is a member of The Handyman Club. There are crafter clubs, etc. The CCoA is for people who, brace yourself, like to cook. They offer a magazine filled with tips and recipes. Membership entitles you to recipes and other perks, especially the opportunity to be a tester. I've tested lots of products. My personal favorite was the $250 pressure cooker. You test a product, tell them your opinion of it, and then it's yours to keep.

Lucky you!! I got a sample of pepper in a grinder jar, McCormicks I think!! LOL Oh well. I do like the magazine though!!
 
Hey! I just got my magazine today! Yipee!!
Lots of recipes about curries... cool tip about using coconut milk~
It says not to stir the milk in the can because you add the thick top first to the curry and then the milky part later to finish.

How long ago did you sign up? I just signed up today and I am wondering if I will get the April/May issue or if I won't get one till the June/July issue...

Little impatient, I know!;)
