Cheap Magazines = Great Coupons


Magazines are one of my favorite ways to gather unique and high-value coupons! Most subscriptions can be gotten for free, or $2-5 - which is totally worth it. The only subscription that I am really conscious of paying for is Real Simple - because I just love this magazine and don't really get it for coupons - but for actual reading. So here are a few tips:

  • If you're going to order a magazine, first log in to your ebates account and go through them! If you don't have an ebates account, click here to sign up for a free account! 
  • Then do a search for magazines.com. Ebates is currently offering a 40% cash back incentive for magazines.com! That's HUGE! 
  • Click on the "Shop Now" button and you'll be directed to the magazines.com website where you can search for whatever magazine you're wanting.
  • Order your magazine(s) at a discount, and then 40% of whatever you spend will be deposited back into your ebates account! 
  • If I were ordering Real Simple, their discounted rate for a year subscription is $23.88 (which is 60% off the cover price). I would pay the $23.88, and then get $9.55 in cash back in my ebates account.
Some of my favorite magazines are Parents (never pay for this - you can always find links for free subscriptions or get it through your Dr's office)! This month's issue has a little packet of $16 worth of coupons. Other good ones are Shape, Ebony, and Better Homes and Gardens. Often times, the use of just one coupon completely pays for the subscription!

The absolute best magazine out there for coupons is All You! It can only be purchased at Wal-Mart, or by subscription (they have it at magazines.com for $19.95/year - $7.98 that you'll get back in ebates cash back bonus). It has anywhere from $75-$125 worth of coupons in each issue!

Architectural Digest, Shutterbug, Marie Claire, W, Lucky, Field & Stream, Lego, and Entertainment Weekly (and probably a few more that I'm forgetting). The only one I pay for is Entertainment Weekly (discount of $10/yr).

  2. Be sure to get Ebony! They have a great P&G coupon section in there every few months. Higher value coupons then the regular ones.
