A few months ago I gave up buying my two monthly magazines to save some money. There have been some weeks standing at the shopping counter that I have been very tempted but I have stuck solidly to my shopping list. Last week grocery shopping we passed a mother and 12 yr old daughter near the bread/magazine section. Mum was getting bread, daughter was browsing the magazines, begging and begging her mum for a magazine. Mum stood firm that there would be no purchasing of magazines but it did remind me of my teenage years when I too was convinced that all the answers to my happiness lived in the information that could be found in women’s magazines. I am so glad that I am well past that stage now and can comfortably accept myself and where I am in my life – one plus for getting older!.

Hi there – Get your magazine fix at the library – some are free and other 50cents, still a considerable saving.
Good idea. I’ll have a look when I visit the library this weekend.
