Magazine Subscriptions ?
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

Wired, because it keeps me curious and optimistic about the future.
And a bunch of financial mags.

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