I live in an apartment building, we have a large basket on the ground floor with magazines of all kinds to pick and chose. You drop some in, you take out what you like. It helps my magazine fix. Also at the office, we have book sharing cupboards where you can bring/ take and keep books/magazines from. We are given two national newspapers by our next door neighbour daily. I never buy magazines or papers anymore. We do get one magazine via our creditcard company Villa dÁrte, we enjoy reading that just to laugh at some of the prices of the objects that they show!

You can find anything you want on the internet but it doesn't replace sitting comfortably with a cup of coffee and your magazine and dreaming of thee places, projects and things on the glassy pages.

Just as new here as yours :)<br /><br />I used to subscribe to magazines - think flipping pages IRL is more satisfying and there's that "flair" to holding a hard copy - it just looks chic!!!<br /><br />However I discontinued the subscription by not renewing it in September 2014...because 1) it's a really expensive magazine; 2) I still have some backlog copies, struggling for time to catch up with them; 3) even though the content is superb, I cannot hold on to the hard copies due to running out of storage space! So it's essentially buy, read, then throw away / recycle for me, doesn't sound that environmentally friendly right?<br /><br />I thought about buying the digital access membership, but I knew too well i would not bother to log in and view after the initial handful of times - so I just stopped and went cold turkey. Still not missing anything, yet!PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116946774914784409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480964998396129844.post-73080447996417622682015-02-26T11:13:29.636+01:002015-02-26T11:13:29.636+01:00I will follow your suggestion and I will try with ...I will follow your suggestion and I will try with crosswords....Thanks :)Sabrina - Frugal Italian Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925485208291960742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480964998396129844.post-67842550048079148382015-02-26T11:11:56.501+01:002015-02-26T11:11:56.501+01:00I completely understand what you mean when you say...I completely understand what you mean when you say " sometimes not having the time to read them".

I don't purchase them anymore but my daughter has a subscription to the French "Elle" so I read it when I stay with her.

My wife has been doing it a while and she now gets a magazine through it and I'm lucky because she ordered ME a magazine as well! Free magazines!<br /><br />Wow I just realized this looks totally spammy haha, especially since this is my first comment on your site.

I am now following your blog via email.<br /><br />I am a magazine junkie, I LOVE THEM. I am trying my hardest to not buy any, but as you saw today on my blog, I bought to on the weekend. I do swap magazines though with my book club so all's not lost.<br /><br />Gill in CanadaGill - That British Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456247587052149765noreply@blogger.com
