    Re: What Magazines do you subscribe to?

    This might sound cheezy, but I recycle all that junk mail LOL.

    Someone picks up all the paper once a month, and I get around $40 for just the paper.
    Then again, running an at home buisness brings in a lot of paper. Last year I brought in $700 n paper and $3800 on aluminum. I just wish this place did plastic too, then I'd be set, but I'd have nowhere to keep the darn stuff. I leave that for the city recycling to take anyways. I figgure if you gotta recycle, may aswell do it for a buck.

      I am not wild about Kiplingers. The first year was free so i only paid 7 for two years. I like Money better. I am the kind of person who learns through examples and i think the money has some that make more sense to me than Kiplingers. So for 7 dollars for 24 months, not bad.

        Which company does that? I would rather do it for the money than just give it to the city trash and recycling which also charges me every months. I don't want to give them anything, especcially if I can make a few $$ on it.

            Thanks for the info. Sorry that I have too many questions, but do you have to have a minimum amount of paper so they would pick it up, and did they charge you for the business account?

              If I dont have atleast 150lbs of paper, they wont give me anything for it, and they just take the scrap metals/cans. The thing with paper is, you need a lot. Or its not worth recycling for money...atleast in Chicago. I know that its good that I live in a business community. Otherwise I wouldnt be in their service area. I've been a big city boy all of my life, I heard that in suburbia, there is no such service(from people that live not to far from me.)

                I don't subscribe to any mags but I do get the saturday and sunday paper delivered. If I feel the need to read anything else I borrow a book from the library.

                  Thanks. It will take me like a year to collect 150lb of paper.

                  I don't get any magazines or newspaper, it's just a waste of money, because I can go and read stuff online for free. I buy sunday paper sometimes and only for the coupons. Before I buy it at the store, I look trough it to makes sure that the coupons are there, I don't want to waste a $ for just the paper, I won't read it anyways.

                  Once they called with advertising for the newspaper and I asked about the price (cheaper to buy the sunday paper at 99c store with coupons). Then I asked if they could give me a deal for the sunday paper only, but that was more than I ever pay for it, so I said I don't need it. So the lady asked where do you get your news, and I said, you can get it anywhere: TV, internet, radio, coworkers. I am sure if something important happen, people will talk about it at work.

                    I do not subcribe to magazines, I find that when I do I never read them. So I read them at the library or get them from friends. But I like US, ME , Elle Essence and Cosmo oops I forgot Money, these are like my favorite

                      I love going to the library to see the magazines. Thats prolly what I should do. Go to the library, and see if I like anything. Then I'll just subscribe to that magazine.

                        I get Time, Newsweek, and Business Week. I got all of these by using Delta Miles I had racked up. I never fly Delta anymore, as they aren't in my market, and there's no way I'll earn enough for a free ticket.

                            My mom and I share a subscription to Taste of Home, Quick Cooking, Light and Tasty, and I have been getting Cooking Light, but will probably not renew. They have a good exercise section, but I don't care for the receipes. Everything from the Taste of Home line is real food for real people!
