Budget Living magazine announced last week that it would be partnering with USA Weekend for a cover story slated to run in the latter's August 26th-28th issue.

The selection, titled "21 Fresh & Frugal Decorating Ideas," was to be bylined by Budget Living editors, and would attempt to give USA Weekend readers a taste of Budget Living's general content, focusing on economic home decorating tips.

Budget Living, launched in October 2002, is part of Budget Living Media, which also incorporates a syndicated newspaper column and Internet properties, among other products. Its rate base is 500,000. With a circulation of 22.7 million, USA Weekend is distributed at around 600 newspapers in the United States.
