Does anyone get magazines in the stores or that you subscribe to?

 

I am letting my subscription to O magazine run out this Spring. It has changed so much since I started getting it a few years ago.

 

Tried to get Country Living subcription last year and they didnt send the form to pay and yet they kept sending overdue notices in email.

Never received one magazine from them.

 

I have been thinking of possibly getting one or two magazines in the mail.

I subscribe to 26 magazines.  Love to have an actual magazine in my hands, rip out what I like, put it down when I want,  pick it up and start where I left off.  I've been a magazine junkie since I was a teenager!

I have some free  magazinesubscriptions that came with ordering on line.... I never read them once they come...    and they are always 95% ads..... I would NEVER pay for a magazine subscription.  Years ago I did... but there was no internet etc to get all your free information from.

No magazines at all--too much clutter and never read them anyway--if I want one I put it on my Kindle.

I rarely pick up magazines in the stores.  But usually, when I'm in Barnes & Noble, I'll go by the magazine stand to see what European knitting magazines are available.  (They have the best patterns!)

 

I do subscribe to New York Magazine (print & digital versions), Archaeology Magazine, and Vogue Knitting (print & digital) ... and have for 20+ years.  I used to get Vegetarian Times ... but I let that lapse.  Their website has all the recipes. 

 

I have a couple of magazine subscriptions via Kindle.  Digital subscriptions are really handy.

I only subscribe to Consumer Reports, and have done so for many, many years.

I always like to subscribe to Good Housekeeping and Woman's Day. I got a free subscription to Good Housekeeping when I ordered Joy Mangano hangers I believe last year. It seems those two cover a little of everything.

 

I keep recieving Family Circle with the warning 'this could be your last one"... I say bring it on. I subcribed once but have not paid anything for a long time and even contacted the company telling them that . They keep coming. They changed the magazine to my not finding it at all interesting long ago.

 

Occasionally I purchase First for Women at the store. They usually have the diet du jour which sometimes makes me laugh . The latest one I bought the cover had 'lose 100 pounds by Spring" and I thought great I will be in the hospital then if I do that . Smiley Happy I do find a lot in that one that I enjoy though and they never have pages of presciption medicine advertising.

 

I am an Oprah fan but gave up on her magazine a long time ago.

subscribed to several magazines over the years and always enjoyed them. Now, I only have a couple.

 

Some magazines I discontinued because they became so thin and loaded with ads. Some fashion mags. made political statements.... I dropped them.

Honestly they've gotten so expensive that I broke the habit.  I miss them and only splurge on one when I am traveling.
