It's almost March and I just received the December issue. Why do I want Christmas and holiday recipes in March?\n\nMag seems to have a good amount of recipes and included pictures which is nice.\n\nThe timing is just way off. Don't send me your old back issues like it's a subscription. That is a rip-off. Won't be renewing."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "Subscribed in mid-December. Advised 1st mag would be delivered by Feb. something. I had no problem with that. I received my first copy in mail on Jan 5. It is the NOVEMBER issue. I find the practice of cleaning out your unsold issues this way to be tacky at best...deceitful is more like it. I am not planning a big turkey feast anytime soon so this issue doesn't even interest me. I will remember this wasted issue when renewal time rolls around."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I used to subscribe to this magazine so I thought I'd give it a try. I am very disappointed in it. There was only one recipe in the whole magazine I would consider trying. Before when I got it, there were always a lot of recipes I liked."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Not a full sized magazine like it used to be. Small 1/4 sized pamphlet. Not worth the money. I cancelled my subscription.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "I was disappointed in the issue I downloaded. The recipes were not appealing to me and were more like something I would find in a dieting or health magazine. While healthy is good a whole magazine of nothing but health food isn't appealing to me. Looking at the recipes they use ingredients that I either have no idea what they are, things that I would never buy or not available to me. Maybe this was just the theme for this issue but I was very disappointed. Also there are too may advertisements."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Send old issues to count as part of the new subscription. Not right'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'this is a magazine for people who generally use shortcuts to get their cooking done. I actually ordered this by mistake: meant to purchase Cooks Illustrated...my bad.\n\nI guess is good for people on a tight schedule, or maybe are newer to cooking and baking. I like to do most everything from scratch, and like a bit more advanced approach to cooking. But, as I said, probably great for beginners!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "Giving the Taste of Home magazine a 3 star because it's nice having this delivered with new recipes but getting more disappointed with the amount of ads and odd articles inside. And the recipes are getting more disappointing. In the one picture you can see the different ways to put toppings on your waffles. In the recipe index it lists all the different breakfast waffles you can make. When you turn to the page it's just toppings. No recipe on the waffle itself.\nThe magazine is great to get ideas from but not to make these recipes specifically."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I wasn't expecting a lot of recipes from all of the reviews that were negative. So I was pleasantly surprised when my first issue arrived. I enjoyed it very much. I agree it could be thicker, but I won't let that stop me from liking it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': '---If you found this review helpful, please click "Helpful"---\n\nINSIDER SECRET: Don\'t pay full price for this. You can get magazine subscriptions for super cheap with Amazon on their "daily deals" they rotate the featured magazines daily but it will be back on there in a few days. You need to go back into your subscriptions and click "Do not Autorenew" OR ELSE it will renew it whenever it runs out automatically for whatever the price shown is, not the "daily deal" (AKA dirt cheap) price. Enjoy your new magazines :-)\n\nTo save recipes from magazines, I have a big binder with section dividers and tons of clear page sleeves. This makes recipes easy to thumb through and prevents the pages from getting dirty as I\'m cooking and touch the recipe.\n\nFor more Amazon reviews, follow @CassandraMercedes on Instagram'}]
