    Question Do you read or buy the National Enquirer?

    I am always compelled to read the covers while in line at the grocery. I suppose this stems from the preference of reading that vs. staring at Cosmo. LOL

    Nope but I'm like you Sara, I do read the covers when standing in line waiting to have my groceries checked. And I always get a chuckle from their headlines!!

    Me too, I read the covers and chuckle. My mil buys the Star and my dh used to also get the Star just for the crossword puzzle, although he hasn't in a very long time.

    I read the covers as well but my room mate reads them anytime she can. She also read True Stories and stuff like that. Not me though, I'd laugh to hard to be able to read it.

    I'll read the cover but I never buy them.I do like the True Story and True confessions magazines though.


    Dh's aunt believes everything she reads in those Star and National Enquirer magazines..I think she subcribes to them!
    Every holiday we get together after we eat you'll find her off to herself reading the newest one LOL

    When I worked late at the store, I read them, never bought one though my ds buy's them all. I read the covers standing in line, but honestly I'm to cheap to spend the money on them.
