Standing in line at the grocery store I noticed all the magazine's and I wondered how many people buy magazines these day? Before the internet magazine's were a big seller. Growing up I would use my babysitting money to buy Teen and Seventeen magazines.
Now the only magazine I buy is Woman's World. I pick one up every week when I get my groceries.
So do you buy magazines? If so which ones?

No. I prefer to read them online (when they're available).

I haven't bought a magazine in ages. Some of the ones I am interested in I read online for free.

@Happy2BeMe I meant passing completely and not buying them at all but that's okay.

I used to read teen and seventeen as well, but no I don't. I was on this site where I got free magazines from and I ordered Cosmo.

Seems a lot of people are the same way. Most people read everything online.

In the past I liked to buy magazines about the computer. However, today I haven't bought any kinds of magazines any more. As it is easy to find many information via the net and reading from the magazines is not necessary. So today some magazines, such as the fashion magazines will offer the customers some cosmetics samples or other little gifts. It is a kind of selling way.

They have to do something to sell them. So many people just go online. It is the same as the newspapers.

I don't purchase magazines because one of the local libraries near me gives away magazines that they no longer want, even though they're still fairly new. They're only a few months old.

I don't buy any, but my Mom did give me a subscription for a year to Reader's Digest as a Christmas Present.

Fitness and Shape are good magazines. I use to buy these. There use to be a magazine a few years back that was all stores is people's weight loss stories. I use to love that. It was such great motivation.

I do not buy magazines anymore. I think they are a thing of the past. Wonder if when my kids are grown if there will be any on the shelves.

I forgot about Family Circle. I use to buy that magazine years ago. I use to really enjoy it.
