When I purchase a magazine, the first thing I do is rip out any ads that are on both sides of a page. It's amazing how thin it is afterwards!

Do you do "The Ripout"?!

[gidgetgh]

I rip out the cardboard inserts.

[Colonel Meow]

No, that would be too time-consuming, I would think. Also (and maybe this is just silly and foolish) , it would bother me to destroy a magazine in that way.

[occasionalrain]

No, but I get rid of the stinky perfume inserts first.

[VanSleepy]

No, but I always hold it by the spine and shake so any little inserts fall out.

""The Ripout""? How odd.

[GCR18]

Yes, I rip out all advertisements when the magazine comes in the house.

I can't stand the perfume/fragrance pages, so I tear them out and throw them in the outside garbage bin. Keeps away all sorts of critters out there. Sometimes I have to air out (on my side porch) the remaining pages, just to dissipate the fragrance odors.

I take out the ads, too. I think that they just get in the way.

Never even occurred to me to do so...I just flip past the ads, some of them actually catch my eye. I will someday need that extra 5 minutes in my life that it takes to tear them out, so the "The Flip" works for me.
