I picked up tons of magazine subscriptions through Amazon at the end of 2009 when they were dirt cheap: most were worthless, heavy and only served to piss off the recycling guy.  One that I wanted to renew was Popular Science (PITA really liked it), but the renewal prices were nutz.  So the spider sits and patiently awaits the deals…

Amazon is running some sweet deals on various magazines, among them Popular Science for six bucks a year.  Check out the selections in all price ranges.  The first price listed is the crazy-price auto-renewal one.  Look just below and you can see the regular one-year rate.  The best part of this is that through February 28, spend at least $20.00 in the Magazine Store and receive a $10.00 promotion code to use on anything at Amazon.com.  So, yes, it’s like a Jewel catalina deal:  they pay you (code) to take a magazine which you will use on another deal.  woot!
