I'm looking for a magazine or two to add to my reading list.
For a hint, I've been reading the WSJ but I cancelled for two reasons: too much regular volume and $200 a year was too much for me.
I *really* enjoy the storylines and articles in the Journal (the stuff that isnt "todays news redux") far more than the usual daily paper. I'd like to find that sort of content in a weekly or monthly magazine. I was hoping the Journal had a magazine with excerpts, and I could have sworn I had seen such a thing, but a cursory view found nothing. I know smartmoney is published by the WSJ but their content is very investing oriented and while I like that, i'm more interested in the general stories.
Any suggestions? I'm currently reading some sports crap and a couple of foodie/cooking magazines, and smartmoney.
As a suggestion of where I've found some good bargains, I went to www.shoppervalues.com and bought my mags there. I found a lot of freebie magazines (most not that good but some not so bad), and verrrry cheap rates on the magazines I regularly read. The Sporting News in fact was way cheaper than any other sub rate I'd seen. I think it was $17 a year instead of the 30-40 they try to charge you directly.
The "catch" is that you agree to let them spam you once a week with an offer.
This didnt bother me much. I create a 'spambucket' email account on hotmail about once a year and use that for any web sites that insist on an email to sign up. When the spam becomes too unmanageable, I make a new one and stop using the old one. I'm not even sure these guys are sending me anything.
They took my credit card, the subs started in about 4-6 weeks. Two of the subs were renewals to mags I already got, and the expiration dates on the sub labels changed within a few weeks to the new dates.
