Game Informer comes with the discount card from GameStop (and maybe other computer/video game stores). Anyone who buys more than a few games at those stores gets the magazine because the discount card saves them more money than the magazine costs.
If you have anything to do with serious home cooking, you’d automatically know all those culinary-related magazines 
Guideposts is – or maybe was – a mainstay in a lot of born-again Christian households. When one of my friends was deeply into it, it was almost required reading for everyone in her congregation.
I’ve always wanted to like Real Simple. They have some great recipes and ideas. But the way it’s laid out…maybe it’s me, but it seems they waste an awful lot of paper with the extra-wide margins and how little is on each page…
While true, it’s also widely considered the best games magazine and has been for some time. It’s as high as it is because it’s tied to a GameStop membership, but it would still sell well regardless.
No Highlights or High Times. 
Have never heard of Rachel Ray.
I am reminded of a friend way back in Texas. On his coffee table was not one, but two separate editions of a magazine called Girls Who Like to Suck Big Cocks. I recall they cost $25 piece, and $25 back then was a lot more than $25 today!
In the classic, Sears-Catalog sense. 
It seems that Southern Living is the staple for most physician offices that I am familiar with. Too many times, I sit waiting for wife in various waiting rooms with piles of nothing but Southern Living. Or 5-yr+ old Time magazines! Seems no one wants to ‘borrow’ those Now and then, maybe an older Motor Trend or Road and Track (whoopee/shrug)
Maybe for you haha. I have the internet for that.
Taste of home is a magazine that’s a mix between awesome and downright bizarre recipes. My mom subscribes to it off and on.
Heh, Endless Vacation is sent out by members of RCI the timeshare exchange company. Has a permanent place in the bathroom magazine rack.
The only one that we actually subscribe to is Lucky. Mrs Slug needs to keep up with the latest fashion trends.
The internet wipes your ass??? 
The only thing I currently subscribe to is Entertainment Weekly (#45). Which is like the magazine version of Cafe Society - stories on the entertainment INDUSTRY, without any of the gossip that other magazines base themselves around.
I will NEVER subscribe to another magazine ever again, after all of the shit that Future Publishing put me through when I agreed to take a free 4 month subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly - which included trying to bill me $80 a year THREE TIMES.
I remember I always used to hear that TV Guide had the highest subscription, which was supposed to be making a negative point about how Americans only want to read about TV. If that were true, I’m sure the great drop in subscriptions is due to on-screen programming guides and DVRs.
Duering the heady days of the tech boom, no internet idea was dismissed.

Has it been replaced by Postmodern Bride?
One of my favorites, but I didn’t expect to see it on the list.
Guideposts is published by Norman Vincent Peale’s organization. While being somewhat conservative Christian compared to SDMB standards, it’s TV Evangelist equivalent is Robert Schuller, not exactly deserving of the “fundamentalist” label. Real fund’ists would deride them as being too doctrinally “lite”.
I’m between the two camps- I do like more substantial religious doctrine but I also like Peale & Schuller & realize their ministries are not the typical Evangelistic ones. Oh- and before any points it out, I also realize NVP passed away some time ago.
I’m surprised I don’t see Parade on the list. Are they not counting it as a “real magazine”?
Children’s Illustrated Bible?
I just realized I haven’t seen one of those in year. Whither the Children’s Illustrated Bible?
Was it an entire Bible or the first of a multi-volume set of Bible Stories, perhaps by an Arthur S. Maxwell?
If the latter, they’re still around. They are a product of the Seventh-Day Adventists.
i’ve never heard of “Prevention”. no tiger beat?
People have covered the others already, so I’ll handle Real Simple - it’s a home and life organization magazine aimed at women, which usually has tips each month on decoration, clothes, cleaning, cooking, and similar topics. It’s like trying for Martha Stewart results but in an easier and faster way. Whoops, missed that kiz covered it some - since the magazine is “square bound” and not stapled in the middle, I used to tear out every page that had ads on both sides, without fear of losing any wanted pages. You’d be surprised how much that cut down the thickness of the magazine!
pancakes3: Prevention is a small-sized (around Reader’s Digest size or smaller) health magazine.
