    Favorite Magazines

    What are your favorite frugality / simple living / personal finance / voluntary simplicity magazines? We can use the list to cull through stories that we'll highlight on the New Road Map / Financial Integrity Facebook page.

    I saw the header and was going to reply "Vogue Italia or any Italian fashion magazine," but that doesn't really fit, except they're cheaper than a trip to Italy...

    I like a bunch of magazines: Ceramics Monthly, Discover, Ornament, National Geographic, Quilt Arts...but I rarely buy any now, as they are anything but simple, turning into piles of not-easily-referenced information. At this point, I'm thinking cheap subscriptions via Zinio or some other source, stored electronically, would be the best alternative to dead tree issues. And that goes for whatever simplicity-related titles, even more.

    National Review. It's basically about simplicity. Simple government (as in lack of laws and Federal overreach) and simple living free from government interference is a regular theme in it.

    But that is rather a smart alack response yet the more I think about it, the more I like my answer.

    Mother Earth News.

    Gee,that's all I can think of, but a magazine that would have a slightly broader focus (not just gardening, but all the topics listed by the OP) would probably fit an unmet need. Anyone want to start a magazine?

    I don't buy magazines anymore. They are so expensive now and when I'm done with them they lay around until I get them to a library..... Need to take a trip to the library to read up on a few....

    A lot of magazines I do like like Mother a Earth News and Mother Earth Living and many others you can go on their web page, they usually have some articles there and you can sign up via email to get newsletters. I enjoy those free items!

    For my grand-daughters I buy Jack and Jill, Turtle, and Humpty-Dumpty. Maybe not frugal, but I think they like getting them.

    Magazines have pretty much lost favor for me and are not the quality they once were, but National Geographic still has good content. I browse the Flipboard app, which has some magazine highlights and I really like Tiny House Blog and Bicycle Magazine. Mother Earth News is still pretty good, but I rarely buy it anymore.

    Runner's World. I don't save magazines - I find if I haven't read it all last month, I won't this month either.

    Years ago I use to like Sunset - then I realized my yard, home and budget could never match and I gave it up.
