How to Save Money on Magazine Subscriptions

Magazines

I typically subscribe to five or six magazines each year.  One site that I found offers really good deals on magazine subscriptions is budgetmags.com.  I can often find popular magazines for as little as $3.95 per year.  I’ve read some negative comments about budgetmags.com but I’ve ordered about six magazines from them and haven’t had any problem. One frequent complaint I’ve read is that it takes 6-8 weeks from ordering until you start recieiving your magazines in the mail.
