What magazine's do you read?

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Just as the title says really, what magazine's do you read.

I uses to love reading a magazine but whenever I now go to a shop that sells them I can never decide what to get so don't buy any. I'm 32.

None these days because I always feel like they’re obscenely expensive for the very limited amount of reading content there is. Too much advertising! When I was in my early 20’s it was Cosmo or Grazia though.

Private Eye.
I don't bother with "women's magazines" anymore because they are just like expensive shopping catalogues.

Closer is my guilty pleasure

I love in Spain and I'm retired. I've always loved magazines, mainly knitting and crafts but also Good Housekeeping etc. I subscribe to Readly for £7.99 a month. You get literally hundreds of mags and newspapers on the day of issue. I read alsorts and you can have up to 3 different readers. Really good value.

The Week, for the same reasons as @Fyredraca.

Although I have just unsubscribed and re-subscribed to make it cheaper after they put up the cost of my subscription

I like the real life story mags like Pick Me Up. What I like the most is how sensationalist the headlines are on the front, and how little they often match with the actual story!

I used to love Cosmo as well, and I am partial to psychologies magazine but I do have to be in the mood for that one.

Private Eye by subscription. Also bought a subscription for the family in the USA. Think it's SO important they keep up with the important stuff that's going on here

25 Beautiful Homes, love it.

For everyone saying about cost, look at an app called Readily. Hundreds of current magazines on there for a tiny subscription fee. Environmentally friendly too.

I have a simple things subscription. It’s the only one I read.

You can get loads for free on the library ap

Private Eye and When Saturday Comes

The Economist. A lovely birthday present from my Mum. I see you did a grocer’s apostrophe in your title and OP.

None. Unless I am flying out for a 2 week beach holiday. Then I will buy rubbish.

Coast & National Geographic Traveller. They have lovely photography and allow me to dream about my ideal life once I've retired! Women's magazines make me seethe, these days. Full of over-priced, consumerist shite and the same 'celebs' on the cover time after time.

What is your point?

I love magazines.
I've always thought the UK has always made them so beautifully and for a while, after I moved to the US, I kept a few of them up. But it became expensive so I stopped the subscriptions.

However, I discovered my library here in Texas has 2200 titles free to download for two weeks at a time and I'm in heaven!

I am in my 50's now so I do enjoy magazines like Harper's Bazaar, BBC History or BBC Good Food, Countryfile, Wanderlust or Lonely Planet, or special craft/interior design, The Economist, The New Yorker but I still love to read the mindless stuff like Take a Break.

Once in a blue moon, I'll get a copy of Pick Me Up

Have you got prime membership? I read magazines on kindle app, download them free. There's different ones every month, good mix of genre so there's always something I can choose.

The only magazines I regularly buy are TV guides.

My local library does, however, have an app that allows library users to borrow emagazines for free.

I subscribe to Private Eye.
My mother subscribes to Saga magazine & it's a great read!

Currently economist and private eye on subscription but a while ago we were given a National geog annual subscription for a year and that was great. Looking at subscribing to a cooking and recipes magazine called Olive.

I read Red and House & Garden
