    If you do some googling for the mags your looking for and put ".pdf" on the search am pretty sure you'll find some.

    there are usually offerson the "low spend board" ie you pay for the phone call and are usually given a free copy and the chance of a cheap subscription. i havent bought any magazines this year, afew titles ive recieved....marie claire, instyle, lonely planet, good food, but if you really want free magazines borrow them out the library or read them in bookshops...simples

    I too love browsing House & Home mags. I've managed to source over 80 free mags by going through freecycle. Check out your local freecycle forum and post/search for house/home mags.

    Get mine from local library for FREE. Only thing is you can't keep them forever as they are only on a lend basis...but I don't mind that as when i have shelled out for one sometimes it has been a load of rubbish! (annd you can't always check the content easily cos they seal them in plastic bags! Our local market sells month old ones cheaply and have seen stalls on other markets donig this too..leicester, Derby etc

    i totally agree, i think people forget that libraries stock more than books, broadsheets,tabloids, loads of magazines, i mean why spend £4 on a magazine, read it and then throw it out after a couple of weeks when you can borrow it from the library for the same amount of time fot nothing !
