Managing your magazine subscriptions

If you are subscribing too many magazine, then this life hack may suitable for you. Ken Norton has posted a article on how to manage your subscriptions – how to draw a line on what to subscribe and what to unsubscribe. He mentioned nine ways:

  • Make a list of every magazine subscription.
  • Rank the magazines in the order in which you’d like to read them.
  • Note the frequency, Kenneth.
  • Consider keeping anything that is quarterly.
  • Draw a three hour line.
  • Cancel any weekly subscriptions below the line.
  • Cancel any below-the-line magazines that are associated with memberships.
  • Consider canceling most other subscriptions below the line.
  • Recycle all of those old magazines.

I do not usually subscribe any magazine but I buy them off from newstand on lunchtime or weekend. This tends to save me quite a bit of money because not every issue is interesting to me. This tips still be useful for me to draw a line on when I should stop buying magazine on the month.

    “I do not usually subscribe any magazine but I buy them off from newstand on lunchtime or weekend. This tends to save me quite a bit of money because not every issue is interesting to me.”

    Actually this isn’t true for most magazines anymore. Example: I just bought a years worth of US News & World Report for $3.97 – LESS than the price of one issue. Mens Journal – $3.97 a year. Maxim – $3.97 a year. I have been buying most of my magazine subscriptions from Best Deal Magazines now for quite awhile. However, eBay also offers some great deal on magazine subs, but check for established dealers with thousands of feedbacks. I usually buy a year (sometimes more) for the cost of one or two issues.

    Lucky you. Unfortunately it is still true here (Australia).
