Start with eBay. The site has devoted an entire section to cheap magazine subscriptions and eBay usually offers the best deals around. Most are available for the 'Buy it Now' option so you don't have to wait for an auction to end.

Try the other on-line giant, Amazon. Amazon deals in such large volume that it can offer deep discounts. And here's a secret--if you subscribe from Amazon, you'll likely receive special email offers for even deeper discounts on your next subscription purchase.

Realize that you will start receiving magazines you didn't even subscribe to. The more magazines you order, the more publishers will assume that you want to receive even more, and they may sign you up for free subscriptions in the hopes that you'll renew or perhaps just to boost circulation numbers. Mags are kind of like rabbits that way.

Expect to receive lots of offers. Once you're on that list as a frequent subscriber, you can expect to receive all sort of offers for other magazines in the mail, via email or even (somewhat irritatingly) over the phone.

Google and see what you come up with. There are plenty of other offers to be found on-line--whether it's old school deals such as Publisher's Clearinghouse or music services that throw in mag subscriptions with a new sign-up. Simply Google around and you're sure to find more subscription deals.

Tips & Warnings
Check back with Amazon and eBay frequently because the offered titles change often.
Be very careful with solicited offers. Read all the fine print, check the company out and avoid dealing with anyone who calls and asks for credit card numbers over the phone.
