What if any subscription magazines do you have shipped to your home?


We have three, Florida Sportsman, PC Gamers and Taste of Home. One for my husband, the other for my teenage boys and I get the Taste of Home magazine.

Good Question! I am a magazineophile. I love 'em. I buy several off and on from the market (especially the weekly ones which are expensive if you get a subscription and only like whats on the cover occasionally)

I get at home: National Geographic, Cat Fancy, Glamour, Allure, Experiance Life.

Hardly any. DH gets a couple of alumni publications. I used to get one that's part of my BCAA membership, but they've gone electronic. I don't think either of us has any subscriptions we've paid for on their own. We're not really magazine people, and just pick up the issue that catches our eye -- which is not many.

None.... its an expense that we only get from time to time...ex. last year my kids school had fundraising which involved mag subscriptions at a huge discount so I got Reptiles and Taste Of Home (recipes). This yr it wasn't in our budget.

Some...

Both DH and I get the alumni magazines from our schools.

He gets Forbes and I get The Flutist Quarterly which is the magazine that is included in my membership with the National Flute Association.

I only get Discover magazine. I used to also get Cat Fancy, but apparently I let the subscription expire, because now that you mention it...I haven't gotten it in a while.

We used to have subscriptions to National Geographic, The Economist, and Scientific American. We can't afford them anymore, so let them all lapse.
When we used to go to the bookstore frequently, Gary would always pick up a copy of Foreign Policy. It always made me think of the Woody Allen joke in Annie Hall .... that Dissent and Commentary had merged... to form Dysentery.

None here at the moment.
I love getting magazines, but can't bring myself to subscribe personally...especially since I work in a library and read all the new ones on my lunch hours as they come in.


I used to get Birds & Blooms and Cooking for Two, both of which I really enjoyed. DH gets the Hockey News.
