Which magazine is better?

[glitzy07]

I love magazines and currently subscribe to Good Housekeeping, Women's Health, Shape, Self and Parents.

A friend gifted me a Living Social deal for a magazine subscription and these are my options:

BHG
Family Circle
Ladies Home Journal
Rachael Ray
Eating Well
More
Family Fun
Fitness
Traditional Home
Midwest Living

Any of you read any of these and like them?

[Willis Jackson]

I love Eating Well.

[LauraMoser]

Is Family Fun the one from Disney? I get that one and really like it. It has great ideas to do with my kiddos.

[pugz]

I love BHG

[ijack]

BHG or RR

I'm a big fan of Ladies Home Journal-love their articles.

[Brie]

Rachel Ray. Decent recipes and food stuff minus the screechy voice.

[glitzy07]

Ha, you ladies are not helping me decide. Apparently I want all of them!

[lilibet]

BHG

Fitness is pretty much the same as Shape.

[spidervain]

I like Family Fun and Family Circle. Family Fun is good for young kids. Family Circle has good recipes and decent fluff.

[noodleoo]

Eating well is awesome but only 6 Per year. I got that deal and signed up for BHG.

[glitzy07]

Thanks, ladies. I think I'm going to go with BHG. I was leaning towards that or Family Circle initially anyway.

[pugz]

good choice BHG is just the right balance IMO, articles, decorating, gardening, and recipes.

Even though you've already decided I'll jump in and say that I am a 30 year old weirdo who really enjoys More.

I totally flipped through a More at the grocery store today, to see if I would like it. I'm a 26 year old weirdo who reads my mom's Redbook when I'm at her house.

I enjoy More as well. My dentist's office has it and I always find myself wishing they kept me waiting longer so I could finish an article.

But BHG was a good choice. I didn't know anything about it until Readymade went out of business and the publisher substituted it for my last 3 or 4 issues. At first I was like "wtf?" but I really liked it, enough to consider subscribing when I happen upon a good (preferably free) deal.

I just got a BHG subscription from their website for $5 so I would look for one that costs more so you get more bang for your buck.

BHG - subscribed, decent magazine, things to read and look at, similar to your other 'womens' mags

More - not a bad magazine, but geared for the 50+ crowd, I used to read it at work.

Family Fun - got old after a while, but a year or two is good.

Traditional Home - subscribed, mostly eye candy of really nice traditional homes/decor that I want everything in but can't afford.

I just started getting BHG and I like it so far. It's a good mix of things and I like it better than Real Simple, which I tried for a year and decided not to renew. I think that's a good choice.

They offer all these mags for $5 at some point during the year.

I like Eating Well.

[LoveTrains]

Eating Well is awesome.

[max88]

If you're going to go with BHG and you have an iPad, be sure to get the digital copies for the iPad too. The visuals are awesome.

[backinpgh]

I can't stand Rachel Ray personally, but the magazine is actually pretty good.

[statlerwaldorf]

Midwest Living is awful.

[Deleted]

Eating Well, RR mag is actually pretty good and I HATE RR.
