So I’m looking on Amazon to check out what the Black Friday deals are all about there. One of our TV’s is getting a bit aged and we were thinking of replacing it. Well, besides TV’s I found a couple of great magazine deals. I’m considering getting them and thought I’d share them with you:
SmartMoney Magazine $5 (1-year auto-renewal) – That’s right, only $5 for a year’s subscription to SmartMoney ($59.98 if you bought each issue individually). Here’s a snippet of the Amazon Review:

Those subscriptions sound like an amazing deal! I’m definitely checking out the SmartMoney magazine.
Great website by the way. I’m trying to build mine up (I just started 3 months ago), and it’s going well so far! I hope it matches yours soon.
I does sound good, doesn’t it?
Best of luck with your site!
I like Smart Money magazine quite a bit, but they seems to rehash the same stories over and over. We find one in the laundry room pretty often so …
Thanks for including my guest’s post!
Hmm, well then a one-year subscription should just about do it for all the info. I need! And at $5, that about one issue.
Sweet deal. I think I might get both as well. I love INC and have never tried SmartMoney. This looks like a good excuse.
Figure you might spend that on a couple of issues over the year anyway, right?
BTW, after writing the article I went to Amazon and subscribed to both.
Have you gotten either of these magazines? I have had Money Magazine in the past which I enjoyed but towards the end of the subscription I feel like I keep reading the same thing over and over.
I haven’t though I follow both online and love the content.
I think a lot of magazines get that way with content. I used to think Men’s Health was the same after a while. Still, it had a lot of great info in it.
