Don't Pay Full Price for Magazine Subscriptions

These days, there are magazines about everything. From Christian private schools to Bonsai trees, if you have an interest, there is a magazine out there about it. Reading magazines can become an expensive hobby. Often priced around $18 a subscription, three or four subscriptions a year can run you over $70! Which may not sound like a lot of money to some of you, but what if I told you you could get those same magazine subscriptions for around $25 instead?

There are two main ways to get inexpensive magazine subscriptions. The first is the most reliable is Best Deal Magazines (http://www.bestdealmagazines.com). They offer over a hundreds of different titles covering 32 main categories - everything from boats to cooking, from Spanish to gay and lesbian interests. Of these, 79 of them cost only $4.69 and they offer another 50 titles that are less than $6. There are hundreds more to chose from, all of them which are up to 85% of the normal retail price! Basically, businesses team up and offer to pay part of the subscription cost in exchange for advertising, so the savings is trickled down to the buyer in a big way! The ordering process is quick and easy and there really is no hidden catch - the magazines start arriving in 8-12 weeks and when it is getting time to renew, Best Deal will e-mail you and remind you to do so. If you don't want to renew, you don't have to - you're not automatically re-enlisted at a higher price, there are no hidden fees and no contract lengths. You also have the option to make the subscription a gift subscription and have it sent to someone else - they'll get the notice that they've been gifted the subscription and 8-12 weeks later, start receiving the magazine. I've done this for several Christmases now for my mom - she loves her Women's Day and Family Circle magazines, but I paid $4 for each year subscription instead of her buying them for $2 a crack at the grocery store. A win win situation for us both!

The other way to get inexpensive subscriptions is to simply do an internet search for "Free magazines" or "cheap magazines." This is one of those things that is so simple that many people don't think of it. Often times, websites will run specials for their viewers to get a very good deal on magazines. I've gotten magazines such as Shape, PC World, Redbook, Good Housekeeping, Maxim, and Stuff for less than $5 a year (Shape and Stuff for free!) just by stumbling across them on a Google search. This may not necessarily net you the exact magazine you were looking for (BestDealMagazines is a much better bet for that), but often times, you can find a lot of great nearly free subscriptions online - it may not be the one you set out to find, but if it's free or nearly free, it's worth giving a try! You never know, you may even broaden your magazine reading horizons by trying something new!

So the next time you go to write out that $22 check to renew your Glamour or PC Gamer subscription, turn to the internet first. Exploring bestdealmagazines.com or just doing a simple internet search can end up saving you a lot of money if you're just willing to give it a try!
