I somehow ended up with free subscriptions to Ladies Home Journal and Family Fun. We pay for a Maxim subscription but I am not going to renew it unless DH still reads it.
I can borrow free magazines from our library on my kindle, but I keep forgetting to set it up. I should probably get on that. Has anyone tried something similar?
Cosmo, Maxim, and People. I got roped into one of those '3 free magazines for 3 months' deals and only recently got around to canceling (after they charged me $60). I also only recently stopped getting Seventeen tbh.
I might be missing one or two. I get most of them for free from doing surveys and shit.

I get Good Housekeeping. And it's the mother effing subscription that never ends. Every year they send me my auto renewal bill. Every year I go in and pay and then cancel my subscription for the next year. Rinse, repeat. I'm too lazy to fight it, so I end up paying the $15 every year. Luckily I do enjoy Good Housekeeping.

JK. We receive Family Circle or Parenting...something like that because of something I ordered from Diapers.com (I think), and I put them in a pile to "read later" but end up throwing them away after a few months of collecting dust.
I'd like to get the Eat Clean magazine, but I know I'd never actually sit down and read it. If we're going to the beach I'll buy a couple of magazines to read on the beach, but otherwise, I do all of my reading online.
I had a shitload of mag subscriptions. Cosmo ( since I was 13) , glamour, Marie Clare , allure, playboy , ew, people, harpers bazaar, instyle and people style. I will be canceling playboy and harpers bazaar and I'm sure Cosmo soon. I will probably be getting a parent type mag soon.
H used to get Playboy and I liked reading it, but it was expensive so we don't get it anymore. We got Entertainment for a long time but now we don't get any magazines. I would renew some if I kid was doing a fundraiser, but I don't have the motivation to seek out renewals myself.
I get US weekly as a gift every year. I also get Good Housekeeping, I don't remember why. I used to get parenting but I don't think I've seen an issue for awhile. I kinda liked that one. I should resubscribe.
I can't get the ticker to work, but I have two sons:
I get too many! I hate it. My kid got two as gift subscriptions and those are okay: High Five and Zoodles. She likes those.
My dad insists in getting all the guys in my family Men's Journal (ugh) and we very randomly get Complex. We never ordered it, no one has admitted to getting it for us, yet...we get it. We moved and they found us. Damn Complex.
We also get Rolling Stone, which I do enjoy, but then I get another magazine called The Sun, which is for writers, and it is just TOO MUCH. My recycle bin is always impossibly full.
ETA: ugh! I forgot I also get La Cucina Italiana. My stepdad is a chef and figured I must have it. Or something.
I might be missing one or two. I get most of them for free from doing surveys and shit.
I also have digital subscriptions to Stylist, AUX, and just added this morning Working Mother and Short List. I might have a problem. I fucking love magazines, though.
