Can we discuss trashy gossip magazines?

[IIOY]

I love to have brain candy to read while I'm on the elliptical at the gym. I only buy subscriptions when they go on sale and I recently scooped up OK and Star (I'm so embarrassed!) for $30/3 years. I also get Us Weekly but my subscription is nearly up and I can't find a good deal. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because it is pricey.

My one not-so-trashy subscription is Entertainment magazine, which seems to traffic in legitimate movie and music news.

What do you guys read and why? Any sources for good deals?

Sadly, every Friday I stop and buy: People, Star, Enquirer, and Globe.

Going on thirty years of this. Guess I should go the cheaper route and get subscriptions.

I used to be SO SO SO addicted to trashy magazines. I'd stock up on each one every week- US Weekly, In Touch, Life & Style, OK... Needless to say, it got SO pricey. I finally cut the habit, but I ALWAYS treat myself to them when I am going on a flight.

You should!  If you go to certain websites, such as discountmags dot com, you can get crazy good deals if the time is right. Once you order one, the website automatically sends you emails telling you what magazines are on sale on any given day.  That's how I got my two most recent subscriptions.

I get Star and Us Weekly on my iPad.

ETA: I also get People.

I read Star and People every week.  I know they aren't owned by the same company- but I swear they have a lot of the same photos!!  It's funny to read their "comments" on the photos, sometimes they are saying totally different things about the celebs!

If anyone sees a good deal can you link it here? I love me some trashy tabloids

I keep checking Groupon and Living Social because they run the occasional special on tabloid magazines. I also recommend googling as I mentioned above.

I'm killing time for another hour and a half until the store near me is stocked with the new ones.

Again, thirty years of this. Lol. Every Friday.

LOL @ MMP. I understand. Really. :-)

My first issue of OK arrived yesterday and I did a little happy dance.
