Children's magazine subscriptions - Octonauts

sweaty_betty

Hi there - I'm thinking of buying a year's subscription to the children's magazine "Octonauts", but I'm struggling to find a good deal.

On the copies I've seen it's either £2.50 or £2.99 per issue, but subscriptions are charging almost £50 for 12 issues, which would be over £4 each.

Now I know that they would have to cover postage, but I guess I'm used to the good subscription deals on glossy magazines (I remember getting a year's subscription to Marie Claire once for £12:D).

I've checked a few past copies of the magazine and not seen any "subscribe direct" deals.

Does anyone have any idea of where I might be able to get a better deal? Or at least not end up paying too much over the regular price?

TIA

Thanks - that's the one I found. £48.99 seems a bit steep for 12x£2.99 magazines though...

from the looks of it you can buy them in newsagents ....what about placing an order at your local newsagent?

Yes - that's my back up plan :-)

do it....I made my NY resolution this year to increase my spending at local independent shops in my village - wouldn't pay stupid prices mind you but for things like this I wouldn't hesitate.
