Should I just throw out old magazines?

Question

I'm at a loss. Part of me likes to keep even the most light filler ones because I still read them occasionally, if not a lot, Also sometimes they have useful information that I need. However I don't have masses of room in my house.

Why don't you make a scrapbook of all the useful articles and pages you like, you'll have it all in one book saving space and time going through them all trying to find the article you want. Then throw the rest into the recycling bin!

Answer 5

I have the same problem. I won't throw them away because I feel like I might still read them and they have good advice. I recommend tearing out the articles that seem useful, and throw away the rest of the magazine. Otherwise you might end up like me and still have magazines from 5 years ago!
