I used to have subscriptions, but now only to Block. It has a way of talking to the reader and has no advertising.
A neighbor and I would periodically collect our magazines, we no longer were interested in and share them. The ones that came back would go into a garage sale, to the library or to a workshop swap.
Now I only purchase magazines off the stand if they have at least two patterns I like. I used to pick them up for techniques, but there is so much available over the Internet now, I strictly focus on the patterns.
Occasionally I will peruse my magazine collection. If over time I am still enamoured with a pattern I will remove it from the magazine and put it into a plastic sleeve for my notebook of patterns and recycle the remainder of the magazine.
If the magazine no longer holds my interest, it goes in my garage sale collection, to the library or to a workshop group. The same is true of my sewing books.
