Getting The Most Magazine For Your Money

September 10th, 2005 • Filed Under

If you’re accustomed to buying two, or even three magazines on a weekly basis, then you likely have magazine money built into your budget, possibly under “disposable income”. But even if you do have some set aside for entertainment like reading, that money will only stretch so far. And with the rising cost of advertising and printing, you may find yourself looking for discount magazines to replace the weekly pick-up with your grocery shopping.

Sometimes it pays to go for the subscription, instead of buying at retail outlets. If you check inside each issue, very often you’ll find a discount for the magazine you’re reading. Compare that to what you pay at the register in a store. Chances are, it’s a fair amount less.

Now, go check out the website for that publication. Most national, or large circulation magazines will have an Internet presence, and in order to up their circulation figures, they offer a discount on the magazine’s subscription. They may even offer a free trial subscription, and a substantial percentage off, if you commit to one or two years, after that. An added plus, is that free gifts are often included with new subscriptions, so on top of the discount, your magazine is now costing you far less than it would at the grocery store, pharmacy, or other retailers.

Don’t forget to look for discount magazine clearance centers online, as well. Because of their volume capacity in sales, they may have even more competitive prices.
