Some of you need news fixes, some of you want to give the gift of information or entertainment, and some of you like to while away your time reading different media. Either way printed materials can cost a lot. Pennypinchinghints.com wants to share some ways to help you get what you want–for less.
BlueDolphin.com Magazine Superstore has great savings on magazine subscriptions. You can save up to 85% on over 1300 magazine titles that range from National Geographic to Real Simple.
Subscription-offers.com helps guide you to savings on major newspapers. For example, this site informs you that The New York Times’ least expensive subscription option is for Monday through Friday. If you only want daily news and a free weekend, you can get what you want and save. The Wall Street Journal can be bought for $155 for the year in both print and on-line versions. And, the site offers up to 50% off on local newspapers in 45 states with some weeks of free delivery. Couponmountain.com also provides savings with both coupons and discounts on newspapers.
Of course, you are better off subscribing to daily newspapers rather than buying them off the newsstand. With The Financial Times, for example, getting a subscription will save you about four weeks’ worth of cost off the daily purchase price.
Other things you might try to save are
- You could get your information by podcast. You can stream television news reports like The NewsHour for free or get New York Times podcasts covering book reviews, weekend and daily business sections, the science section and more. Most other major newspapers have the same offers on free podcasts.
- Your local library will give you free use of magazines and newspapers.
- You could share a subscription with a friend and pass magazines and newspapers between each other for half the cost.
- You might take advantage of free trial offers of newspapers before you buy. Get a few weeks free. Then don’t waste your money on the subscription if the paper doesn’t fit your needs.
Yes, you can get information, entertainment, and fun cheaper. Don’t grab up an interesting cover or newspaper article without considering subscription savings and free access.

I subscribe to a few magazines, and instead of throwing them away when done, I give them to friends or donate them to schools, shelters, etc.
Great tips! Times are hard and we all need money saving ideas to cut back on some expenses. I stopped my yearly magazine subscription for now and tried subscribing to their feeds instead. It’s free and I also get timely updates.
