hello there mylotters. I kind of have a problem that I have been contemplating for quite some time. I like to read the cosmopolitan magazine here in the Philippines. I like their articles a lot and the tips that they give. I asked my friend if subscribing for the mag will be worth it. she said that some issues may not be that nice. i am still thinking and thinking until now if i should subscribe. help me out guys. please share your opinions.

I wanted to subscribe cosmo magazine too but my husband said no. Anyway, I think it is better for you to subscribe if you really a fan of that magazine coz it is cheaper that way.

Are you able to get a copy to borrow from a library? If anything I'd say subscribe so you can get the latest copy and keep man industries working.

hi there 3snuggle! I cannot borrow the latest copy of my favorite magazine in the library. I dont think they do subscribe in that entertainment magazine. I am still thinking of subscribing to the magazine since it would be kind of excessive

i think that depend on what you prefer...? =) you really should be able to let go some bad issues if you really like the magazine brand. i mean they cannot always be perfect and give 100% months that you will love.. some times the publishing do slack of and prepare more on more important issues.. like holiday cover, etc.. =)

I think it is good to subscribe since it is cheaper- i think than buying every month.. And i am sure there are always some good articles in every issue.. it will be worth it. You can unsubscribe anyway, if you don't like it that much.

hello there lady. you do have a point. it will be much expensive if I will buy it every month rather than subscribing. there will be good and bad articles in each issue but then I think I will focus more on the good ones. thank you and happy mylotting!

Sometimes the topics at Cosmo isn't always that good. In my opinion, basing from my experience, i would just buy an issue if its topics are interesting to you. If it's not, then scout for other magazines for that month. Though, subscription in the long run would be cheaper.

hi there simplyd! yes you are correct, in the long run having a subscription is cheaper that buying the issue one by one but then we cannot choose anymore if the issue has nice topics. i am still currently thinking deep about it. thank you and happy mylotting!

I think if you really like the magazine then yoou should go ahead a subscribe it. You can try it for sometimes and if you are not happy with what you are getting, you can unsubscribe.

The best thing about subscriptions is that it's usually cheaper in the long term. They often offer a free gift when you sign up to, which can only be a good thing! I know that there are a lot of voucher codes and websites online that will even offer discounted subscriptions - these are always worth a search and can save you money. Your friend is right that not all issues might be fantastic, but then you might love all of them! I'd try it for 6 months or whatever the minimum subscription period is and see how it goes - if you don't like it, you can cancel it after your subscription expires. This way, you can say you tried it out and you're not left contemplating or wondering if it's a good idea anymore! The best thing for me about subscriptions is that you often get issues early, or on the day of release, and waking up to find a brand new magazine to get you teeth in to really gives you a feel-good start to the day :)

hi there eucalyptus! thank you for such an inspiring advice! I would really love to try and subscribe to the magazine the I love it so that I can sleep well. Usually I cannot sleep well because I would think over and over of what the next issue will be about. I surely hope that it would fit my budget!
