If I wanted to know about all the lastest Green products and how to reduce my carbon footprint and all I would by a magazine about that. I just want to know about garden layout, perennials, how to make tasty dinners and desserts, and decorating my house. I am not going to be trading in my 77 cub cadet for an electric push mower any time soon. Rating: 3 / 5 Better Homes and Gardens has recently started getting a little too Environmental for my taste.

I didn't realize there was a huge amount of ads. It pretty much seems the same as most other mainstream magazines. The thing that bothered me the most is that every article, every photo was of an absolutely perfect, breathtaking home or garden that you could only achieve through spending tons and tons of money. While I understand that most readers don't want to achieve dumpy looking homes, I think it would be better to make it more down-to-earth and homey rather than looking like a museum. Even the featured products usually cost a lot and the recipes each contain about $20 worth of ingredients (and usually don't sound very appealing anyway). I wound up usually just flipping through and tossing it aside. Rating: 1 / 5 I got this magazine for less than $10, so I guess I can’t complain too much.
