What do y'all think of Grit magazine?

I was wondering if any of you get this and what you think of it.

I just started receiving it because I found a discount coupon that I could mail in. I like it.

I see ads for it from time to time and it does look intriguing. However, if anything I need 1 less magazine subscription, not 1 more!

I've been getting it for about a year. I like it. There has been information in it that has been useful to me.

I remember Grit from when I was a kid 40 years ago. Didn't know it was still around.

Sent in a discount coupon for it mostly out of nostalgia than anything else. Not your Grandpa's Grit. Slick well put together regular magazine more like Hobby Farm Mag. Nothing like the old time Grit Newspaper at all. Still, they have some interesting stuff in it. Learned some things from the issue concerning building and maintaining farm roads and some other things too. Did not renew when the initial subscrption ran out.

I had a subscription for a year recently. It definitely has changed in the period of time since I had last seen it. I was not impressed with it. I did not renew my subscription, but to each his own, you might like it.

I take it, Hobby Farms and Countryside. Grit is okay, but the other 2 are my favorites. I miss the old Grit. Don't know if I will renew or not.
