Too many magazines?

Question

i have over 100 magazines, some 3 years old. about how old should i keep them till? (e.g. if older than 5 months throw them out) etc.

?

Answer 1

u sound like me. i had like 200 and i recently went over them and cut and made posters and i think that is a good way to recycle and its fun

Answer 2

You should donate them to your local library which has programs to deliver the books too.

Answer 3

I have fashion/beauty magazines that are five years old or even older, and I absolutely and completely treasure them, so I could never part with them.  Even though magazines are simply just a bunch of pieces of paper glued together, they are truly my fashion bibles and getting rid of a single one of them (no matter how old they are) would be like taking away a piece of me.

Answer 4

Do any of these magazines bring joy into your life? If some do, and others don't, then discard those that are building up garbage. You will be glad that you did. Peace!!!

Answer 5

I'm bad about hanging on to magazines.  When I get around to going through my stacks, I use this method:

Stick a post-it on every article or page I like.  If there are a significant number of post-its, then I keep the magazine.  If there are only a few, then I tear out the articles I like and toss the rest.  I stick the pages I keep in a page protector and have them all in a binder.

I have heaps of Magazines as well. Mine are gossip mags. it's pretty funny when i think about how much money i've wasted on pointless lies and made up gossip.

I think you should just keep on keeping them. It will be funny to look at them 3 years later and see what/who was in at that time. Or you could just throw them in away after you read them?

Answer 7

My dad just threw out dozens of MAD and Surfer magazines from about 30 or 40 years ago, then I found out that they were collectors items worth big bucks. Keep your mags, they'll be worth a fortune one day.

Answer 8

If they are beauty and style magazines then they are only good for about 2 months or so. You should find any articles you like in them cut them out then toss out all the magazines that are older than 1 month. Fashion and style change year to year and season to season. I know I use to want to be a fashion designer. (Yes I'm a strait man but I love to see a woman who dresses good, I think it's really s**y) So I always keep up with the fashions I use to be able to tell what each season was going to be 6 months or more before it came around. Anyway, I use to get Vogue and so on and after I read over them I would toss them. The truth is after a month unless there is an article you like in them they are old news. So I say toss them all.
