Wednesday Wildcard...Magazine Subscriptions for Less!

8/10/2010

Although gone are the days that I am lucky enough to open my mailbox and put my hands on a shiny copy of Domino Magazine, I still feel a twinge of pure joy when the end of the month arrives and my mailbox starts to fill up with all of my treasured magazines.

But as treasured as my magazines may be, it can get quite expensive to stock up on all of my favorite periodicals every month!

So how do I combat the cost of having a serious magazine addiction?  First I make sure to subscribe to all of my favorite magazines instead of purchasing them in the store, because this will cut down on the cost by at least 70 or 80%!


Next, I search online for the lowest price before I order any of my magazine subscriptions, and one of the best resources I have found for a low price on magazines is Amazon.

For example, the cover price to buy a year of Vogue at the store is $47.88, the regular subscription price is $18, and the price at Amazon is $15!

The other benefit to ordering magazines from Amazon is that they offer many promotional discounts on subscriptions like "two years for the price of one."  Right now on Amazon you can get a two-year subscription to Harper's Bazaar for $8, or Marie Claire for just $10!  What a great deal!  Amazon also has great bargains on lesser known magazines like New England Home.  On most websites a subscription to New England Home will cost at least $19.95, but it is only $9.95 at Amazon!
 

But to always get the best deal on your subscriptions I have found that you sometimes need to do a little digging to find the absolute lowest price...

Oddly enough, the lowest price I have found for a yearly subscription to US Weekly is actually at Sears for $51.48!   This is at least $150 less than the magazine's cover price.  And while you are on the Sears website, you can also pick up a subscription to House Beautiful for just $12!  However, if you need to renew your subscription to Elle Decor, I would recommend heading over to HSN where a yearly subscription to ED is just $6.95!  Now that is a bargain!

Do you feel like the holidays have come early when your stack of magazines arrives in the mail each month?  What are your favorite tips for reading magazines for less?

Magazines in the mail are my favorite! I just renewed my Vogue subscription the other day and was thinking that I probably could have gotten a better deal by shopping around, but didn't know where to look. Thanks for the tip about Amazon!
