Gourmet - for the food porn and recipes
cooks illustrated - to make me feel like a crappy cook, overall
real simple - to make feel like sh*t about being unorganized
martha stewart - to make me feel like a complete failure at most everything
instyle - to make feel like i shouldn't wear sweats and baseball hats
w - to make me feel fat and gauche
budget travel - to make me feel like i should stay at the motel 6
town and country - so can i see the way 1% of the world lives
elle decor - to view what my decor doesn't look like

so, i think for me - magazines are all about promoting low self esteem.

omg!!! You crack me up!!! Lol!!!

Do you actually have time to read all of them????

Here's mine:

Cooking Light
Vegetarian Times
Caribbean Travel and Life
Budget Travel
Real Simple (probably wont renew)
Coastal Living (just ran out)
Sail (husband's magazine)

My daughter gets:

Seventeen
Teen Vogue
Teen Cosmo
(all three ordered as part of a fund raiser- we'll probably renew only one)
National Geographic

eta- In addition I routinly purchase: Self, Allure, In Style and Veg News- sheesh I think I need to simplify my magazine needs.

TatumsMom · 09-21-2008, 05:44 PM

I get quite a few magazines. There's a really cheap website I order them from. I keep them in a drawer in the kitchen table so that when I'm eating my cereal at 5:00 in the morning, I have something to read. I can't just sit there by myself and eat. I currently get:

Reader's Digest
Good Housekeeping
Ladies Home Journal (soon expired - not renewing)
Redbook
O (Oprah's magazine)
True Story (a tad bit cheesy but hey, it's something to read)
The Enquirer - yes, we subscribe! All 4 of us love it and I love doing the colored crossword in the back.
I would love to get People but it's pretty expensive. I may switch out Enquirer for People next time it's up for renewal.

We also used to get Family Handyman which is a pretty good home improvement kind of reading. I am a magazine junkie but I just really like having a little something always available to read at the kitchen table.

! Well, actually I don't "read" some of what's in them. I find they're really handy for at night when I can't concentrate on my book - but I'm not one to just lay down and sleep, so mags come in really handy then.

Plus, a lot of the books I like are 16th/17th/18th century lit. - so the mind-candy feeling of magazines is something I JUST love, to balance that out.

Plus, I gotta keep my nieces in business. Man, those fundraisers just never end!

RebelBelle · 09-22-2008, 06:59 AM

I subscribe to Cosmopolitan and Southern Living both of which make me believe I need more time, more money, more friends, more clothes, more accessories, more, More, MORE! LOL!

Ann, you can't turn away the magazine sales cause then they'll hit you with the high priced wrapping paper and the barrels of cookie dough. It's safer and cheaper to get the magazines!

I would tell them that I am Going Green...so, no wrapping paper....and cookie dough? I am trying to watch for my sugar intake and on diet!! LOL!

ellie81 · 09-22-2008, 08:32 AM

I'm have one issue left to come from Rachael Ray's magazine. I got an offer for a very low price (something like $10 for 10 issues) so I subscribed but I'm not renewing because it's double the price now.
I also being getting a for months a magazine I never subscribe too "Working Mother"... I don't have kids yet, do you think it might be a sign?????

marcerella02 · 09-22-2008, 08:36 AM

My daughter does the magazine fundraisers and it's a whole catalog with pretty much every magazine- one of the reasons we subscribe to so many. The good part is you can usually get pretty good deals through them.

I actually missed one in my list. I also get Domino- somehow I got a free subscription. It's okay but I wont be renewing it.

LaPeque · 09-22-2008, 09:14 PM

LOL @ Wylie's Mom. Right now I only get Cook's Illustrated - I love to dabble in gourmet cooking, but it does make me feel totally incompetent!
