Snag a Zine

I’m a magazine junkie: the short articles appeal to my equally short attention span, and the variety of subject manner covered provides me with ample conversation fodder, which, coupled with a glass and a half of red wine, reduces my social awkwardness by approximately 70%.

When it comes to choosing magazine subscriptions, I try to adhere to two rules: Cheap is good. Free is better.

Over the past few years, I’ve paid $5 or less for subscriptions to great magazines such as Real Simple, Wired, and Smart Money (which I used as a gift for my father). Spoofee, one of my favorite discount-watching sites, often lists great deals on magazines at sites like ValueMags and DiscountMags. Amazon also has a magazine department and offers some great deals–today I snagged Vegetarian Times for $5. No, I’m not a vegetarian. But I like tempeh enough that, for a fiver, I’m willing to pretend.

One caveat: Because it can take some time for you or your recipient to show up on a magazine’s circulation log, you may wait upwards of two months to receive your first issue. Thankfully, Amazon has ready-to-print certificates to show your loved ones that a year of good reading is on its way.

  1. Many people today don’t like the space that absent teeth has left in their smile. Denture repair can definitely help fix almost all three of these problems. We are sure you might have been to a dental or denture office where there was more than one dentist on site. And usually with dental centers is they will have a few general dentists and even a few dentists who specialize in specific parts of dentistry such as surgery.

  2. An interesting dialogue may be worth remark. I think that you ought to write more about this particular subject, it might not be considered a taboo topic however usually people are insufficient to talk upon such subjects. To the next. Regards

  3. I saw a few other similar content although yours was the best to date.
