Magazine Subscriptions ?

[frayne]

Just curious as to what people subscribe to these days. Magazine subscriptions that is. DW is amazed that regardless of what I am doing, it seems I always have something to read handy.

Myself, Bloomberg Business Week, Fortune and Golf Digest.

 

[Mulligan]

They are just so cheap now, they beg you to subscribe, so I continue. Sometimes I don't always get to them during the summer but they make good treadmill readings in the winter: Money, Kiplingers Personal Finance, Golf Digest, and This Old House.

 

[MBAustin]

Consumer Reports, Kiplinger, Cooking Light, Cooks Illustrated. We're getting a 1-year subscription to Texas Monthly as our public radio thank you gift so we'll see after a year if that sticks.

 

[ClockWatcher]

Astronomy, Maximum PC, CPU (Computer Power User), AAII (American Association of Individual Investors) Journal

 

[W2R]

None right now. Thinking about Consumer Reports, though, and maybe I will be inspired to subscribe to something after reading this thread.

 

[samclem]

The Economist, The Week, Family Handyman, Discover, Popular Science. Plus magazines I get from clubs/organizations (AOPA, EAA, etc)

 

[Lsbcal]

The Economist for me. Reason: it has insights and analysis (financial + political) that I have trouble finding for free.

if you fly Delta you can order many magazines for very few miles. I get Money Magazine and Time for about 1000 miles each. I also get Kiplingers plus The Wall Street Journal and Barrons

 

[Nodak]

None at the moment but thinking about re-subscribing to Astronomy and Sky and Telescope.

 

[Jack_Pine]

Guns and Ammo, american rifleman, Hobby Farms,Cabin Life, Midwest Living, Motor Home and some other cooking ones for DW among others.

 

[chilkoot]

I agree with Mulligan above - they just make it too darned easy. Me - Sunset, The Week, and four different motorcycle mags.

 

[MuirWannabe]

RunnersWorld is my favorite. I also get Tennis and Civil War Times. DW likes Southern Living and Guideposts.

 

[JOHNNIE36]

Just a few like Golf Magazine, Consumers Report and Sports Illustrated.
Wife gets one or two sewing magazines. A few times in the past when a mag is running a special like "give one as a gift", I'll have my wife gift it to me for maybe half the cost of the regular subscription. That's really being cheap isn't it? Works for me and I guess the magazine doesn't care or they wouldn't offer it.

+1.
With Spirit, points would be lost if there is no activity for 3 months. Rather than lose the points, I ordered magazine subscriptions for Time and Money. I got the Time but still waiting for Money.

 

[harley]

Discover, Wood, Family Handyman, Fine Woodworking, Shambala Sun.

I also still get Fortune, but they've been telling me each issue is my last one for over two years. Someday I hope it will stop.

 

[Lsbcal]

RunnersWorld is my favorite....

Wait a minute, isn't that the one with all the cute girls on the front cover? Occasionally I see the cover in the library (I'm a runner).

 

[RAE]

It's pretty easy to get great deals on subscriptions these days, so I get quite a few. Bloomberg Business Week is my favorite, but I also get Time, Men's Fitness, Field and Stream, Outdoor Life, Outside, Wired. My wife reads mostly novels, but I prefer taking a magazine or two with me in the evening when I want something to read.

You might be thinking of Playboy. But yea, they occasionally may highlight a cute runner.

 

[Tigger]

Wired, because it keeps me curious and optimistic about the future.

And a bunch of financial mags.

 

[Lsbcal]

You might be thinking of Playboy. But yea, they occasionally may highlight a cute runner.

Now I'm wondering if anyone will admit to subscribing to Playboy.

 

[target2019]

Bloomberg. Just renewed for almost free - and can't say I'm impressed with the layout or content.

 

[Lisa99]

Garden and Gun is my fav. Seems like a strange title but if you're into all things Southern it's an awesome magazine.

 

[Powor]

The kids get the Game Informer ever month. Personally, I stopped subscribing to paper things. On the iPhone I have a subscription to Lens Magazine, but haven't had a chance to look for anything else I might want to read.

Suggest folks also check with their local library. Along with e-books many libraries now offer free access to many magazines through Zinio. Zinio offers reader apps for most devices. I usually read Consumer Reports, Wood, Handyman, and National Geographic. Many more titles available, many obscure ones, what you have access to depends on the deal your library has with Zinio.

 

[LitGal]

Gave up most of them over the years, because they would stack up in corners, gathering dust during the school year when I had no time to read them.........and then I never caught up on them during the summer.

Now, when I want to read magazines, I browse through that section of the local library and pick up whatever looks interesting at the time. Then I take the stack home, return them, and come back a few months later when I'm in a magazine mood again.

I do subscribe to Dan Wiener's Investment Adviser newsletter. My mom sends me a subscription to Reminisce magazine each Christmas; she knows I love old photos and stories. I do keep all these: Wiener, for the Vanguard investment advice and Reminisce, for the timeless photos.
