My new addiction
 
I've discovered that I've become a bit compulsive in this. I subscribe to too many magazines. Granted, I like getting mail but I can't resist that "12 issues for just $1 an issue" gimmick! Recently, I decided that Lucky and Allure was a good investment at $15 for a year of both. Am I the only one who does this?

I feel your pain. I've been able to avoid subscribing to Lucky for now, but I know I'm going to end up giving in to temptation. I go through a million magazines while I'm at the gym; they're great for keeping entertained during those endless sessions on the elliptical machine.

Now that you've mentioned how cheap Lucky and Allure are, I just know I'm going to end up subscribing to at least one of them...

Let's see-
Elle, In Style, Shape, Entertainment Weekly, Self, Cosmo, Rolling Stone, Cooking Light... they come in so fast I barely have time to read them!

New Year Resolution- DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO ANY MORE MAGAZINES!

Before Lucky/Allure it was

*Cosmo
*Marie Claire
*Glamour
*Vogue
*Time
*PR Week (hey, its for work)
*Automotive News

I think I need a 12 step program.

valkyrie 01-02-2002 02:55 PM

Here's my list...

Marie Claire
Fitness
Shape
Vegetarian Times
Martha Stewart Living
National Geographic
Better Homes & Gardens

Yeah, it looks like I need more fashion magazines. Can you tell I'm just looking for an excuse to subscribe to In Style, Lucky or Allure?!

The January issue of Lucky had lots of stuff that was good for Chicago, it might be helpful to you. THey do it by regions so since Chicago is cooler than Detroit, I get good buys and places to go for your town!

Man! If I would have known that all of you were magazine addicts, I would have hit up GreekChat to fullfill my magazine subscription quota for KD! ;)

However, my boyfriend got a last minute Christmas subscription to Maxim, which he is *very* pleased about!

Parsifal 01-03-2002 01:51 AM

I read:
In Style
Cosmo
Maxim (cosmo for boys)
Glamour
Marie Clair
Lucky
Rolling Stone
US
some others I'm forgetting.
But I don't subscribe to any of them. I read them at the library.
