craftyhunnypie Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hiya - I've got a subscription to Crafts Beautiful Magazine. It was a present & I quite enjoy it as I love anything crafty. I got a free cutting & scoring card making gadget too. I also enjoy reading & making things from Simply Knitting Magazine. Another one I used to subscribe to was BBC Good Food. That was very good & had some good competitions & giveaways. I won a delonghi coffee maker from that magazine! I'd love a subscription to Practical Poultry, but somehow I think sister in law will get me that for Xmas! Don't really know about how good the magazines are that you're thinking of, after doing Interior design I think I've seen enough ' housey' mags to last me a lifetime! I love cooking magazines these days, but half of the recipes you can get from the internet anyway. So now I go into WHsmiths, flick through & if it looks good then I buy it, if not it stays on the shelf! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little cluckers Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I subscribed to delicious since it began in December 2003 but stopped it in June because they seemed to repeat the same themes over and over-Italian was popular, I realise it must be hard to think of new recipes and themes but it just became very samey! Having said that I've built up a great library of recipes from them so it was worth it! Currently getting Gardeners world as it was on offer in the Tesco's voucher book!

KeymerKim Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I don't know about the magazines you mentioned, but I too got a subscription to Gardeners World because of Tesco vouchers!! I also occasionally buy "Grow your Own" which is a kitchen garden magazine - it is always packed full of great ideas and always seems to have an article on something that I am thinking about at that particular time! I haven't yet subscribed to this, but I will do when I get a mo. KeymerKim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Pops in and acts smug. I don't subscribe to any magazines, I save all my Tesco vouchers Just spent them on the return trip from New York.

redfrock Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) I subscribe to delicious and love it although I probably read more than i cook, still I like to have it popping through the door every month rather than cosmo or such like I save my tesco's vouchers all year to pay for the New Years Eve party I hold (and I cook every thing from scratch - so by midnight everyone else is partying and I am spark out! ) This year our friend Milly played Auld Lang Syne on the bagpipes in full regalia (and no I'm not telling! ). He was in the Irish guards - the neighbours came round to toast in midnight and watch. This year he will be in Afghan though Had to edit this because I had wriiten complete jibberish Edited September 4, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfrock Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I also occasionally buy "Grow your Own" I must be tired.

Cinnamon Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I only subscribe to heat magazine Tuesday is the highlight of my week and shall forever be known as heat day You are not alone,Rachel19 We don't subscribe simply because I couldn't bear it if the post was delayed & HEAT was there mocking me in Tesco & I couldn't buy it I literally have to fight my daughters for a "go" on it In fact I don't subscribe to any mags,but I do love magazines & buy Good Food, Good Housekeeping, Empire & Focus every month as well as HEAT every week.

The Dogmother Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I get a fix of gossip mags when I go to the hairdressers. I refuse to buy them, but flick through to keep up on the gossip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Heat is the only one I will have anything to do with, & I reckon its worth the money as all us girls read it.

I used to spend them in Tesco but now I just save up for treat instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
