The only time I indulge in the glossy womens and fashion magazines is when I’m browsing at a bookstore or when I’m at my hairdressers. I find them too expensive to purchase monthly otherwise, even with a subscription. This is especially when I particularly enjoy reading the international editions of magazines like Cosmopolitan and InStyle and Lucky. I love Allure and Lucky and they cost a bomb here.
I once thought to sign up for magazine subscriptions direct from the USA as it appeared to save me some money. However, at the time the exchange rate was not in my favour and I did not have a credit card then so it was out of the question.
However, I have now been invited by Magazine Agent to do a review on their site which has to do with magazines and I’m absolutely amazed at their low prices! Take shopping and fashion magazine Lucky for example. The subscription for 12 issues costs just $15 ($1.25 per issue) which is a huge 57% saving off the newsstand price.
I tried to see if they ship internationally at low prices, and saw that they have actually partnered with a site called magazinecity.com that ships internationally. So now, it is actually possible to subscribe to international editions or USA only magazines from outside the USA. Granted, you pay a higher price than you would in the USA but hey, its not that bad when you consider that its impossible to get your paws on Lucky otherwise.
