I currently have zero magazine subscriptions.  I never seemed to read them when I had them so I let them all expire.  I usually bought a subscription whenever the kids sold magazine subscriptions as fund raisers

I have one for Rolling Stone. The only reason I have it is because I keep getting it free when I order tickets from Ticketmaster.

I am not sure.  I have a few.  All of which I got for free.  Most magazines auto renew and just charge your card or debit your checking account.  I should not have to cancel the script when it runs out.  If I don't renew it then assume I no longer want it.  Since then I have not paid for a subscription.

I get one from Life Extension.  It's on health, but I get that included with my membership to their website.  It does have great information in it though.

Cancelled all of them!  Getting too expensive and really don't have the time to read them.  Would rather read a good book from the library and not have to pay for it.

I used to have magazine subscriptions in the past. But I just settle for purchasing the magazines during certain months.

Last year I had a few subscriptions. The only reason I had those is because they were free. I don't get them anymore.

I stopped getting magazine subscriptions when I was twelve years old, a boy scout and getting Boy's Life. I read whatever is at the Barber or Doctor's office. Or I'll buy a magazine at the store. Subscriptions can be a pain in the you know what. I get pretty fried when organizations get their members out on the street pushing subscriptions (after their families have said no). If it is a good charity I will just hand the subscription seller ten dollars and tell them to give that to the charity. Once you subscribe your name is added to a large data base and you become a target for every piece of junk mail known to human kind. It is getting just as bad with cookies on computers. Look up something like adidas tennis shoes on google and you will see advertisements for adidas tennis shoes everyt ime you access the internet from that computer.

Does anyone notice that they are about equally articles mixed with ads? I like magazines but they resort to too many advertisements.

So does radio. I get so tired of the same ads over and over and over, ad infinitum.  :bs:

I had Time and Readers Digest but gave them up. I felt I was wasting my money because I hardly read any of the issues.

I got a years' free subscription to Redbook that ran out in the last few months. I didn't at first know how I was getting them, but figured it must have been from a survey, because there was no other way. lol I actually enjoyed them. There was some useful information, and just found it overall a bit uplifting. I don't see myself spending money on subscriptions except to Psychology Today, in the future.  :thumbsup:
