Can I ask a question to the regulars on this thread..... which mags do you subscribe to/buy regularly? And post the comps for?

Its just that I was thinking it might be worth identifying those mags that always have postal only (not online) competitions and try to make sure we get them all on this thread.

I subscribe to Good Homes (has internet entry route) and Glamour (always has the Cover Look and usually something else text or postal), and I regularly buy Essentials. I know from being a regular on the thread that certain peeps seem to get loads of mags and kindly share with the rest of us.

Its just a thought - I'm happy to add another regular mag to my shopping list and post the comps each week/month. But what I am trying to say is I dont want to waste money on a mag that someone else already buys and will post the comps for, if its not something I also want to read/buy for a specific offer. I want to share as many comps but selfishly dont want to buy mags just for the comps!!

Is it something worth doing, and having added to the first post?? Thoughts anyone??

i subscribe to:

best
woman
woman's own(seemingly):rolleyes:
she
red
prima
physcologies
rosemary conley mag
zest
easy cook
good food
easy living

i buy:

essentials
top sante
sweet
health and fitness
slim at home
slimming world
weight watchers
love it
bella
spirit and destiny
toxic (kids mag)
delicious

majority of these are postal

is it worth deciding who posts what? i know i post a lot of comps on here so if you want to takeover a mag etc just let me know:D

if it helps , i have bella, best, love it, woman, woman's own, woman's weekly, my weekly, chat, take a break, that's life, full house, real people , pick me up, yours mag, weekly news, total tv guide,
mail on sunday, scottish sunday mail, sunday post , sunday express
plus lots of the puzzler/puzzle mags monthly ones,
would still buy them even though a lot of them are posted by other posters 'cause i still enjoy doing all the puzzles & reading them and there might be one week or sometime the reg poster goes on thier hols or isn't well, then maybe i can help fill in for them till they get back ..

i enjoy reading them but must admit i buy them more for the crosswords/puzzles & hopefully to win :j

99% of mags i buy for the comps:D wouldnt buy them of course if i didnt like reading them, did get grazia mag for a bit but thats only cause they stopped doing eve magazine and they sent me that instead, full of utter pap:rotfl: so havent bought again, not really into fashion mags

cte1111

Most of the mags that I subscribe to are covered by princesspixiedust, but I also get:
Country Living
Coast
Homes and Antiques (although recently they haven't had many postal comps)
Cardmaking & Papercraft (just started this one, was pleased to see it had postal comps as only subscribed for £1 trial)

If you are into magazines, it's worth looking at the 3 for £1 magazine thread, if you haven't already:

There are lots of magazine offers on here, I almost never buy mags full price now, and there are sometimes nice free gifts, which are worth more than the subscription costs. You can also often get cashback from quidco or cashbackkings, if you subscribe through Magazine Group or GreatMagazines.co.uk.

does anyone get real homes, i know they often have comps, but cant recall if they are online or postal?

I have subscriptions to Easy Living and Good Food - I have nectar points to use up and was going to get another mag subscription with them - so if anyone knows of a mag that we could do with covering for postal comps I'm happy to do that.
