I never used to subscribe to magazines, but the newsstand prices are so expensive! I always seemed to spend $15 - $20 on magazines when I'd take a trip anywhere, but now I have a stash of unread magazines I can pack instead. I'm not sure if I come out ahead or not, and on the downside I always feel guilty if I don't read every magazine that arrives... Probably about $150.

I do my reading online or get magazines at the library, and I'm trying to convince my wife to get a subscription, rather than paying full price. I spend $0. My wife spends about $15 a year.

Probably around $25 annually and that is from a high school club fundraiser. I am uncertain, but it isn’t much. Probably around $25 annually and that is from a high school club fundraiser.

The Economist, and Classic Cars (UK import), for my hubby, which is still much cheaper than buying off the newsstand. After exchange rates, that totals somewhere north of $160 for the two. I just started receiving a year of Barron's for free after signing up for their e*trade customer promotion. That was a nice find from Fatwallet; else we'd really be averaging above $100 per subscription!! We only subscribe to two magazines, but the price/mag is ridiculously high.

It's expensive, but so much better than most news and business magazines that it's worth it. I also subscribe to the WSJ online edition for daily news.
