 great recipes January 31, 2005

Family Circle has great recipes compared to other magazines. Right now, I have subscriptions to Southern Living and Everyday Food. I also frequently purchase Real Simple, and I have to say that compared to these other publications, Family Circle is kitchen-proof. Several recipes from this magazine I have added to my repetoire, one of which is a cake for which I get frequent requests from my husband.
The articles are usually pretty ridiculous (particularly rated-PG ones about how to spice up your love-life), although there occasionally will be something useful, like about some rare disease you've never heard of caused by your hot water heater or something. However, I actually had to cancel my subscription after September 11th because the level of patriotic gore became untenable. Every page of the frigging magazine was red-white-and-blue, and I guarantee that you will never find a single article about, for example, "How to Deal With Domestic Violence when Your Husband Comes Home from Iraq and Starts Drinking Heavily" or "How to Get a Tombstone for Your Soldier AT COST and Save Your Family a Bundle!!!!"
I still like the recipes, but I am still boycotting the magazine. Fortunately, old copies are easy enough to pick up at garage sales and Goodwill.
Lots of Good Stuff Inside October 4, 2004

Family Circle is aimed at female readers with articles focusing on topics like parenting, marriage, etiquette and beauty and fashion. Each issue also features an article on Women who make a Difference. There is also a Health Report article, fitness articles, and diet tips, including menus and recipes. There are lots of recipes, in fact, including pull out recipe cards that can be filed in your recipe box. There are also articles on gardening, decorating ideas, and craft ideas. A reader's tip column pays readers $50, if their tips are used.
Family Circle is a good magazine for all women.

Family Circle is a fairly good magazine that features articles on family life, raising kids, travel, personal finance, home improvements, and more. It is primarily directed at the female population, with articles that emphasize the roles that mother's play in household management. The articles that feature recipes and family life form the bulk of the stories in Family Circle. Less common are the articles involving personal finance and other topics. These financial articles are a nice addition, and I was surprised when I first saw them in this magazine. But potential readers should be forewarned that these articles are not very in- depth. They only skim the surface of finance, talking about such simple matters as balancing a checkbook, refinancing a home, and paying off credit card debt. You aren't going to find a story about purchasing stock options or selecting tech stocks. Family Circle keeps it simple and covers only those financial topics that are relevant to taking care of the home and daily living. Family Circle is published 15 times per year, with a low subscription cost. It may not cover topics as thoroughly as other, more specific magazines and it can sometimes get a little repetitive from month to month. But it's a pretty good magazine overall, with tips on cooking, cleaning, fashion, raising kids, and taking care of one's home.
Unhappy with subscription service May 10, 2002

I subscribed to family circle after buying it on the newsstand for the past 2 years. I was very unhappy to receive an old issue that I had already bought at the newsstand. I wrote a complaint on the bill and refused to pay the bill. I think the magazine is great but
the subscription process was a bad experience. Hopefully it will be rectified
