I know there have been similar threads here on magazines becoming super-thin, focusing on politics instead of fashion, etc.  What magazines do you continue to enjoy/subscribe to and feel they have maintained their quality during the pandemic?  Mine are Real Simple and Woman's Day.   I also subscribe to Good Housekeeping and Health, but both have become very thin - not sure I will continue those subscriptions.

I cancelled my subscriptions to both Elle and Vogue - feel they have changed a great deal during the pandemic. 

I used to be a huge magazine junkie and could hardly wait for the monthly arrivals in the mail!  I hope those days are not over (sigh).

Antiques Magazine

Early American Life

Martha Stewart, but not sure I will renew.  

None cancelled during the pandemic, but about five during the past 5 years.

I'm a magazine fan , I receive Vanity Fair, Southern Living, Food Network, New York, Yankee, and All Recipes. I did cancel Star, not because I hate celebrities, but I don't recognize most of them.

Consumer Reports, everybody who comes to visit me always sits down next to my stack to read.

I get Woman's World, First for Women, Reminisce, Reminisce Extra and Real Simple. Not sure I'll renew Real Simple. My sister and I swap magazines. When we're done with them, I give to my neighbor.

That is one thing I have not bought since this started. I usually got at least one magazine a month at the store and now I don't go to any stores that sell any I like.

I used to get Food Network.

They made me so aggravated over a gift subscription that never got sent despite calling 4 months in a row that I cancelled that and also my own.

I see now if you want to buy it in the store it's up to $6.99 - definitely not worth it because it's filled with advertisements and very thin.

I actually prefer the free cooking magazine, Savory that we can pick up at Stop and Shop every month.  It has some real good recipes in it.  If I had to pay a few dollars for it, I would.
