Magazines
I looked into subscriptions for my partners magazines. She has Woman's Own 78p - Woman's Weekly 74p - Woman 78p. The cost for the year if she buys it everyday at Morrison is £117.52. If she buys it by subscription it would cost £166. Therefore it would be totally stupid if she bought by subscription.
