Oxanna — Sorry to hear that calling Threads didn’t work. I have only tried calling major magazines like Woman’s Day and Money. I was able to get a better deal with Real Simple by sending them a letter. My father-in-law has had luck with Kiplinger’s and Better Homes & Gardens. If a phone call didn’t work definitely try sending them a letter. When you hear back please leave me a comment to let me know how it goes.

Some feedback from a brand new reader. 🙂 I tried calling Taunton to possibly get a discount on their “Threads” magazine. They said no. 🙁 However, I may still write a short, sweet note like you did and see if that works. 🙂

Wow! That’s a new trick — thanks for sharing it. I too have a mildly obsessional relationship with magazines and this tip will save me a lot o’ money. Thank you.

I was going to say go to Ebay as well, but the sellers there are at $21 for a year. You win!! Nice!

I receive the weekly emails from Real Simple, but haven't read their magazine.

Good idea!
