    Default Magazines - What do you take?

    I am looking for something new. I get Woman's Day but am tired of it. Any suggestions on good mags to get? I like getting something in my mail besides junk and bills.

    Family Fun (freebie from magscentral)
    Organic Style (freebie from magscentral)

    We subscribe to........

    - Countryside
    - Longboard (surfing mag)
    - Surfer
    - Woodwookers Journal (I think that's the name)

    I'm sure the last 3 wouldn't interest you though.

    I check out mags from the library or get them from the freebie bin at one library branch - Southern Living, Guideposts, Reader's Digest, Better Homes & Gardens, Family Circle, House Beautiful, Sierra, Prevention, Organic Gardening, Good Housekeeping, Country Living, etc.

    I get Mother Earth News, Taste of Home, Country, and their craft mag - the name escapes me right now.

    and tons of freebies from the net. Most of them just get used for the pictures for the kids prijects at school.

    I subscribe to Taste of Home and Quick Cooking. I also just started getting Budget Living (free from magcentral)- the first issue arrived yesterday and I really liked it.

    Oh, and I get the Refund Express book every other month in the mail-- not exactly a normal magazine, but, I read it cover to cover, usually more than once! There are a lot of "drawings" in there, which are held by other members- they're fun to enter as you send little things as your entry. There are also freebie offers and ads with people selling refund items-- which then leads to me getting more fun mail, lol. (If you're interested I'll be happy to send you a referral link!)

    I am terrible about magazines -- I take Country Living, Country Homes, Cottage Living, Better Homes & Gardens and Prevention. I used to take Country Gardens but when I found Cottage Living I began it instead of renewing the gardening mag.

    I like this one magazine they have at Walmart -- "All You"

    It's inexpensive and has lots of great idea about saving money.

    I get Woman's Day and Better Homes and Gardens. I used to take Mother Earth News and think I will take it again. Oh, I also get a freebie Entreprenuer. I like Woman's World and think that at some point I may get that one.

    I recieve Better Homes and Gardens, Yankee magazine and Prevention. But I think I would prefer Good Housekeeping. (All of them were gifts) I did at one time get Taste of Home and I liked that as well.
