Two quit printing last year and switched me to another publication - one I already dropped, the other when subsription expires - not the same.<br /><br />I took advantage of a low price offer for another magazine and will be giving a gift subscription as well. I try to recycle magazines to relatives or doctor offices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-61346974832918957882009-10-27T11:43:10.508-07:002009-10-27T11:43:10.508-07:00In the past, I have cancelled subcriptions to seve...In the past, I have cancelled subcriptions to several magazines, but this year for the Holiday season, I plan to give subscriptions as gifts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-91478151882055572402009-10-26T09:46:40.140-07:002009-10-26T09:46:40.140-07:00I much prefer to read an article in a real magazin...I much prefer to read an article in a real magazine...I don't like having to squint at the computer screen, and, if someone else in the house needs to use the computer, I can still read a real magazine.

Some weeks I barely get to check my email. I like receiving all my publications in the mail because I can read them at my leisure, take them with me when I go anywhere, and cut out recipes and articles. I think it is always fun to check the mail and find a new magazine there to read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-33041450891600974692009-10-26T07:50:33.981-07:002009-10-26T07:50:33.981-07:00I subscribe to several magazines and my favorite i...I subscribe to several magazines and my favorite if National Geographic. Going to the National Geographic website is not the same as reading the magazine. To me, it's much more gratifying to receive the magazine in the mail, read the articles and view their photos in the paper publication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-72829037766673008892009-10-26T07:48:46.237-07:002009-10-26T07:48:46.237-07:00I prefer to read books but I get a few magazines, ...I prefer to read books but I get a few magazines, mostly associated with organizations I belong to like NARFE. I do get one magazine that I saw when I was boxing mail because it looked interesting; it has a lot of coupons in it which I love. My aunt saw it at my house and she's now subscribed and I plan to get a subscription for my mom for her birthday. I also get subscriptions to kid's magazines for my granddaughter because kids love getting "their own mail." I agree that online magazines are hard to read and I like to flip through them while watching TV or over a period of a few days. I also agree that the more catalogs in my mailbox the better - I send for lots of them because I love to shop through catalogs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-87036737110130311372009-10-26T06:47:38.554-07:002009-10-26T06:47:38.554-07:00With the prices dropping I have kept up most, if n...With the prices dropping I have kept up most, if not all of my subscriptions. I don't like the on-line publications because they are hard to read and if I want to save an article I have to print it.
