Amazon.com deal: $5 Magazines

A great deal and a favorite find.  I love when the two come together in the perfect storm.

Have I ever shared my adoration of House Beautiful magazine?  A few years ago I ordered it on a whim during Amazon’s $5 magazine sale, and I’ve been in love ever since.  Sure, many of the houses don’t fit my decorating style– but I’ve learned so much reading the articles, browsing paint palettes, garnering inspiration, and spotting trends.  For $5 a year, it takes the “guilty” out of “guilty pleasure.”

Amazon’s sale is back, with these magazine available for only $5 a year with auto-renewal.  Here’s the deal with auto-renew straight from Amazon’s page, it really is risk-free:

• You will not receive publisher expiration notices and offers via mail.

• We will send you an email reminder a few weeks before your expiration date including the current low price on Amazon.com and the date on which your subscription is scheduled to be renewed.

• You can cancel at any time and receive a refund for unshipped issues. If you prefer to let your subscription expire at the end of the current term, you can visit Subscription Manager and update your preferences.

• Regardless of whether you are a new or existing subscriber, customers receive the the same low price on renewals.

Don’t you love that second bullet point?  That’s why I love Amazon, they aren’t sneaky like most companies would be in that situation.  Because I was worried I’d receive two issues at the same time since my current subscription isn’t up yet, I checked and apparently as long as it’s in the same name/address they’ll just add on the issues after the current term expires.  Woot!

Find the current $5 magazines here, good through October 11th.  I spy Cosmo, Town and Country, Seventeen, Car and Driver… so many holiday gifts waiting to be given!
