Cheap Magazines

[mbrogier]

I took Missindi's advice and ordered magazine subscriptions through www.magazinepricesearch.com I was really impressed and got some great deals.

I'm now getting:

Cooking Light
Vegetarian Times
Fine Cooking
Everyday Food
Gourmet
Martha Stewart Living
Cottage Living
Traditional Home
Real Simple
Domino
Shop, etc.
Body and Soul
...and a freebie called Seed

I also ordered Birds and Blooms for my mom for her birthday.

The prices were so low it was amazing. Thanks for sharing this, Missindi. I pick up magazines from time to time at Costco or Barnes and Noble, but this is so much cheaper.

You actually buy the subscriptions from one of many online vendors and this site just does the research for you, right? Have you ever had a problem with reliability? When you don't get the full amount of your subscription--or don't get it at all. I usually wait to pay after I have received the first issue of a subscription--then if there is a problem, I just cancel and don't send in payment. Do you have to pay with your order?

I love magazines--although I have separation issues (I never want to throw any of them them away) :) The prices on this site are great! I'm ready to put in an order.

I just ordered Bon Appetit, Everyday Food, and CL again.

Shar- you do have to pay with your order thru this site. I also order through them, after hearing Missindi's great results. I haven't had a problem yet with anything that I've ordered. It does take a while for a new subscription to kick in though- so you do need to have a bit of patience. It took almost two months to get my first issue of Fine Cooking.

Thanks for posting this again. There are several that I will be renewing as our subs run out. I have bookmarked the site.

I like discountmagazines.com as well. You can buy year long subscriptions from them starting at $5.95 (they used to start at $3.95, but I guess they've gone up).

I tried this once in January, ordered Bon Appetit from NetMagazines and never reveived the subscription. I used a discount code and the price was $12.00 per year for 12 issues and waited 17 weeks before I finally got a refund from them after sending multiple customer service requests They claimed they lost my subscription; but of course they charged me the $12.00 the day I ordered.

I was afraid to buy the monthly magazine at the store for fear it would end up in my mailbox, I did this for 4 months straight.

Just keep track of what company you order from and make sure your subscriptions start, just isn't worth the headache for me.

I used it recently to renew CL and Eating Well. Worked great and I have been receiving my mags with no problem.

I purposefully used my Visa to order these so if I did encounter problems that I would have recourse. I also printed out the receipts and have them in a folder in my file cabinet. I also have an excel spreadsheet list of my subscriptions, who I ordered them from, how many issues each subscription is for, and what discount I used for each order. When I start receiving each order I will update my spreadsheet.

I am really not so organized in my whole life (although I just bought a labelmaker :p ), but I have an awful short term memory. I know if I didn't keep track of this stuff now, that I would forget everything I ordered.

The short term memory loss does have its advantages. I forgot I bought two pairs of born sandals on clearance last fall. I opened up my spring shoes container a few weeks ago, and it was like Christmas! :D

i've been dealing with Delta for over a year, and their prices are astonishing. they don't offer everything, but when i can get 50 weeks of The New Yorker for $13, i'm in love. i put in 6 subs with them, plus 2 gift subs, and they are 1,000% reliable. (right about now i'm wondering whatever possessed me to order Vogue...probably the $10 yearly price, and my 20-y-o DD, who only visits occasionally...)

that would be www.Delta Magazines.com.

they are though yahoo, but as i said, fully responsible.

other examples:

Cooking Light, 1 yr, $10
Everyday Food, 1 yr, $11
Gourmet, 1 yr, $8.75
WD, 1 yr, $10

the gifts i bought were for a 12-y-o nephew, Dicovery and Nat'l Geo (adult versions), both together came to one year for about $35.

so, for magazine lovers like me, it's another site to look into. esp. as gifts...it's like one in the MB every month (or 17x/year, like WD, lol).
