I loved all the responses. I guess our magazines are just eye candy to many of us. And like others, my husband has car mags for cars he does not own either. I am not trying to justify the cost of the magazines by the products I make but the question may be,could the money be put to better use. E.g. More fabric, quilting tools ... Retirement savings? I guess I consider my magazines part of my entertainment budget but maybe a purchase monthly just isn't needed. Motto should be, Better to do then to view!
