    Advantages Advantages Very reasonably priced, easy competitions, good prizes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages some very sad stories,

    Take a Break is a weekly magazine, sold in most outlets and at the very reasonable price of 70p per issue, readers real life stories make up a substantial part of TaB, readers photos, tips and helpful hints also add to this, there are Horoscopes, recipe’s and most importantly 15 competitions all with good prizes, it seems to have got thicker over the years as it had 71 pages this week it used to have between 63-68 when it first came out.

    Advantages Advantages Really good real life stories & some fab recipes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The chance of winning a competition is very low

    I work on average 6 days out of 7 and work some really strange shifts so when it comes down to my hour long break a day I really don't know what to do with myself. As a child I used to always get a copy of Shout magazine from my gran she used to buy me one from the local paper shop and give it to me every Tuesday when I stayed at her house but as I grew older I got really bored if it and wanted some thing new to focus my attention on so I started reading my mums Take a Break and I loved it! It was always full of competitions (which I loved) and real life stories that where really interesting ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, good value for money. Great stories

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can include upsetting stories

    TAKE A BREAK COST 80p Take A Break is a womans weekly magazine which I have been reading for several years now. I remember when I was eighteen thinking this magazine was for elderly or middle-aged women!! I'm thirty now and still consider myself very young and so now of course have changed my views and definately think this magazine is for younger people too! It's more grown up than magazines like Seventeen or More which really are teenage magazines in my opinion. Take A Break is a magazine for and about people who have lived life and have advice or a story to tell. Take A Break is sold for ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, has real-life stories, loads of puzzles

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None for me

    TAKE A BREAK REAL-LIFE MAGAZINE Take a Break is a weekly magazine with real-life stories and puzzles + competitions included. This magazine is mainly aimed at women but you see a lot of male people entering the competitions and winning the prizes! So there is something for any age, any person! My grandad, however, reads this and regularly enters the competitions so it really is something for everyone. I mostly read this at night time when I can't sleep & I find it very relaxing! Take a Break is made by H Bauer Publishing alongside Bella, that's life!, eatin, tv choice and Total TV guide. Take ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good price, appeals to a variety of readers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some stories are similar each week

    I first came across a copy of this magazine a few years ago in a doctors waiting room. It was an old copy and when I left I decided to pick one up. The magazine costs a bit more than it did back then, retailing at 84p these days, which is still good for what you get. The magazine is weekly, in shops each Thursday. What I like about this magazine is that the content is a mixture of real life stories, reader feedback, puzzles and factual articles. I’m not a fan of reading about celebrity break ups or leafing through tens of pages of adverts broken up by a couple of fashion pages so this magazine ... more
