Do you still buy magazines?

I enjoy magazines but never buy any as visitors to cottages do while on holiday and leave them behind I read and return to cottag. Never know what to find

I buy Good Housekeeping but mostly for the recipes. I am thinking of cancelling the paper version and just keeping the app. I sometimes buy the Sainsbury's magazine for the recipes.

I buy Woman’s Weekly on subscription. There is a good mix of articles. Definitely not a celebrity gossip type.
Puzzles, food, short stories, craft , well being and inspiration .
At under £2 per week ,I think it is good value.

I used to love fashion magazines and couldn't wait for the next issue of Honey, 19, Vogue, Nova, Elle, Cosmo etc to hit the shelves. To keep me going in the week I bought Woman and mum bought Woman's Own and we'd swap.

But nowadays, no, I never do.

Sad really, it was one of life's little joys but I totally agree with Witzend - the ratio of ads to content is one if the reasons I stopped buying them.

World of Interiors is the only magazine I look at these days but I don't buy it. It's available at a specialist library I use, where I can sit in lovely comfy chairs and read for hours.

I love home interiors magazines. My children refer to these as " property porn".

Ever since i was married, I bought Good NF Housekeeping - so since 1968 - I must own the company! Although DD now gives it to me as part of my Christmas present.

It isn’t what it was though - I expect its me getting old

It's disappointing that you can't get the usual magazines without all the celebrity stuff in them, they should just have celebrity magazines for those that want them and let the rest of us get back to intelligent reading !

My DH has bought me a subscription for Saga magazine for my Christmas present for a few years now. I find it very interesting I can leave it down and come back to it.
Yes definitely to this one.

I buy 'The Oldie'. It's excellent. Always full of great articles and very good cartoons. It fair cheers me up every month.

No , I haven’t bought a magazine for years. It is one if the reasons I go to the hairdressers, for the magazines .

I subscribe to Good Housekeeping and enjoy reading it. I read a page or two each morning as I eat breakfast. I use my local library’s Libby app to read Who Do You Think You Are magazine.

Join Borrowbox via your local Library - free to join, then you can download lots of books and magazines - food mags, homes, antiques, crafts, etc. I like Country Living but far too expensive to buy.

I like Yours magazine. I ask my daughter for a subscription for my birthday every year. Lots of interesting information and articles,recipes,crafts,puzzles.

Yes I too use the library, the app is borrowbox, I also use it for audio books,totally free

I buy Woman's Weekly every week. I once went to a focus group they held and liked the way they work. And it's not too expensive,

I get The Oldie too.

I still love magazines and buy 3 or 4 per month. Two home and decorating mags and 2 general women's. Although the Canadian Living magazine that I've subscribed to for at least 20 years has gotten so thin that I may have to quit. It's sad really, that I think they are having a tough go of it financially.

No - I read books.
Used to buy home decor magazines - but no longer.

I have had a subscription to Private Eye for many years. I also have subscriptions for the Radio Times and Good Housekeeping.

In our local library there is a box of various donated magazines at 50p each.

This is a great idea!
True story. I was going on a luxury vacation and I wanted a magazine. I went to a bookstore (big selection). One magazine cost me 20 USD. It was a Mindfulness magazine. I still have it. I'll bring it on my next vacation too. I highly recommend buying from the library sales.

I haven’t looked at or bought a magazine for donkeys years

I buy Woman’s Weekly as did my mum and grandmother. I pass it to DD. Lots to read. Gave up other mags ages ago

Stopped buying magazines a few years ago.They are full of reality show rejects and royalty propaganda.
I used to get them delivered with my newspapers.."I don’t buy them anymore either.
A look at the covers on the stand says Whats inside and there’s the same people week after week usually someone like Colleen Nolan either looking for a man or telling the world about her sex life and Kate or Meghan or both and the trial and tribulations of their lives!
No thanks .

We are the same. We are currently on holiday with DD. For both of us compulsory packing is 2 house magazines each. We do have an excuse, as we are both doing house renovations at the moment.

Afterwards I cut pictures out to add to my ideas file for different rooms. But that is just an excuse, we are both fascinated by house interiors, both now and in the past.
