Store Check out Magazines

Mistreatedbycs — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 03:00:28 GMT

My grandmother used to call them "rag" magazines...does anyone still buy those?

I sometimes grab a Women's World but that's not a gossip mag but once in awhile I am amused that every week somebody has the magic formula to take 10 sometimes up to 40 lbs off.

I don't buy or subscribe to magazines anymore. There is more than enough gossip on the internet..including on this board!

But I do flip through some of these magazines when I'm at the hair salon. I do like checking out the photos.

I used to regularly for gossipy entertainment, but only very rarely now (stuck in bed with a cold, etc). I don't know, or care at all, who or what 90% of the articles are about, the same photos and articles are sold to multiple mags so you get duplicates, and they cost more now in proportion to very little worth to me.

I subscribe to People and Us, they are my guilty pleasures. I love actual magazines, and they are very cheap. My community had curbside recycling every week , so the mags don't build up.

My husband always reads those headlines on "rag" magazines when he is waiting in line at the grocery store. Then he comes home and tells me who is doing what.

I keep telling him that most of them are just made-up rumors.

I work for a doctor so I get to read People magazine for nothing. I never read magazines in a doctor's office after the patients handle them. I read in a magazine that's the worst thing you can do is read them in a doctor's office because of all the hands that's touched them. Lots of germs.

I refer to them as "scandal papers"!!! Love them - they are so amusing! No, I don't buy them any more. Too expensive! I admit to looking at the covers while I am waiting in line. I always think -- gee, I should buy one -- but I know that the cover story is super tantalizing and what's inside will be a disappointment so I don't.

I don't buy magazines. I have had many subscription's over the years, but have never bought a magazine from a rack. If I have? I don't remember.

My MIL use to love The National Inquirer. She was sure it was all fact. LOL

Now and then I would get Family Circle. Now I am getting a recipe magazine. So much can be found on line now.

I have never bought a rag mag in my life. Nor do I look at them at the store. My aunt used to buy them faithfully every week. Then she'd tell us who was doing what to whom. I used to get up from the table and go into the basement. Celebrity stuff does nothing for me. It never has and I don't understand why people get all caught up in everything they do.

I do not buy them anymore, only read real quick if the checkout line is really slow. I grew up in the era of rag magazines and my Mother read them all the time... so I got into the habit of reading as well into adulthood. Years ago I did subscribe to enquire and the Star.. but, now with the internet there is no need to spend money on such trash... it is only click away!

I must be on some HIT list. I get all kinds of magazines. Must be some TEST CASE. I donate them to a local medical facility. I really don't read them. All ads, no real sustance anymore. I don't know how they stay in business.

I used to buy People Magazine, but stopped when Kate Gosselin was on the cover every month.

Now I'm interested in HGTV magazine, Food Network magazine, and a few other decorating magazines.

I can read about celebrities on the internet. I was more interested in the fashions more than the gossip. LOL

I buy Vogue Fall and Spring edition ....the really thick ones with previews of fashion. I receive free Elle, Bazaar and Town and Country ....why I have no idea; maybe because Sephora sends them as a gift with purchase kind of thing. I still purchase InStyle and Victoria on occasion if something interests me.

I stopped my subscription to Allure since Linda Wells isn't the editor any more. I predict that one won't be around much longer.

I don't read rag mags.

We get PEOPLE delivered to the office and I look at the pics if there's a fashion thing in it.

If i need to know anything about the content a co-worker reads it cover to cover and she'll tell me all about it.

I get Star and People through Zinio, got a great deal on both

I get People Style Watch in print, tablet version is free with it. It has affordable fashion mixed in with high end and it's just visually appealing.

I can't believe they charge $5.99 now for Star Magazine at the checkout, People is probably the same. I am paying about a dollar per issue on Zinio. That's all they're worth too lol. It's a mindless stress reliever for me. I also once won 250 dollars with the Star mail in crossword puzzle.

I love to look through Fashion mags but the only one I subscribe to is InStyle and I'm thinking of not renewing it next year. But I'll probably cave and keep getting it.

I look at Vogue and Town and Country when I get my hair done.
