How to be Websmart

There are two great ways to save money on magazines: Magazine Price Search and eBay. If you want to get the best deal, we suggest checking out both locations before you place your order.

What to do

Magazine Price Search

1. Visit Magazinepricesearch.com.

2. Use the search box to search for the magazine you want.

3. You will be presented with various options for purchasing your magazine. Look for the one listed as the best value – that will be your cheapest option in terms of cost per issue. However, make sure to find the option that best suits you in terms of the number of issues and price.

4. To make a purchase, click on the appropriate link and follow the instructions on the screen.

But before you make your purchase, don’t forget to check out…

Ebay

1. Visit Ebay.com. Log in.

If you need an account, you can register for one for free. We suggest using a registration email.

1. Search either for ‘magazine subscriptions’ or, if you know which magazine you want, search for ‘[your magazine name here] subscription.’

2. Look only for magazines that have Buy It Now in the Bids column. This means that you can buy the magazine at the price listed, and you won’t have to bid.

3. Browse the available subscriptions. To make a purchase, click on the link offering the subscription. On the following page, check the tax and shipping details, payment details, and the number of issues offered. If the price is better than the one at Magazine Price Search, go ahead and complete the purchase.

What to do

Unlike other products, magazine subscriptions are heavily discounted online. But you have to know where to look. We recommend the above strategies for everyone who buys magazines, from individuals to offices and schools.

Your search for the cheapest magazine subscription should begin with Magazine Price Search. This site searches a variety of magazine sites, discovers the coupons available to lower prices, and delivers the search results in an easy-to-understand format. The prices they find are usually rock-bottom ones. Take the time to read the directions on the site before you purchase the magazine – copying the coupon code down can save you money when you finally place your order. You can learn more about magazine price search by going here.

Ebay often offers cheap prices on magazine subscriptions, but you have to visit the site at the right time to get a subscription at a price you are willing to pay.

So our recommendation is to check both sites out and choose the subscription that’s the better bargain for you.
