This is pretty easy for me because I only subscribe to three magazines (and that’s only because I got a great deal on them) and we don’t get any newspapers.

I get Better Homes and Gardens which is my favorite!

I would LOVE to get more but I don’t even have the time to really read the ones I have now.

After I am done reading them,  I give away, sell at my garage sale or recycle. 

Currently, this is my collection…small, huh?  I just read blogs now, lol!

I saved a couple that I still need to read and a couple other good ones that I like to look at once in a while.

I keep them in my drawer to look at before bed.
