Cheaper garden mags.
 

Economy tip coming up :-)

I read a mag called Gardens Illustrated which has a cover price at
newsagents, of £3.75. Last year I took out a postal subscription (free
postage) at a slightly reduced price per copy. My sub ran out this
month, and they sent me a renewal form offering 10 copies or £31.50,
(free postage). But as I'm very busy with something else atm, I didn't
get round to sending it back.

Today, they sent me another reminder, begging to retain my valued
custom at a special price.
10 copies for £24.50, or 20 copies for £45.50.

That's only £2.27 per copy, free postage, saving £1.48 per copy on the
shelf price. Not bad, hm?

Why bother with those huge expensive magazines? I find Garden News and
amateur Gardener both have more information that some of the picture
books. I've always found the Gardeners World magazine too pushy and
'fashion' conscious in plants.


P.S.
I shop at Tesco with my Sainsbury's card and get nectar and Tesco
points. The I shop at Sainsbury's with my Tesco card and get points on
both again :)
