Free Publications

Let's start with some free publications. Favorite is SOCO Magazine. Available in restaurants, business establishments and supermarkets in southern New England, it's a slick, glossy mag featuring fashion, food, events in the area and newsworthy stories.





 Another good one is 'The Bay' filled with happenings around the East Bay and South Coast. Both are excellent sources for things to do for the month.  Other giveaways are Providence, The Insider and the 'Phoenix' (ditch the insert if you have kids). If you know of any others, pass it on.

Local libraries sometimes have stacks of older issues of magazines they carry. I love getting back issues of 'The New Yorker' for free .Also, piles of glossies like 'Oprah' and 'Architectural Digest' around the house give the feel of luxury without a high price tag. Next time I'll talk about a great source for free events and entertainment. We all know it's there,  it's just a matter of utilizing it.
