Tired of burning your hard-earned cash on your favorite magazines? Recently, Time Inc. debuted a solution for avid magazine readers: a cheap Netflix-like service for monthly subscriptions. Maghound.com, the self-professed “magazine lover’s best friend,” is a great concept that allows you to choose the magazines you want to read each month, sent at the same time as regular subscriptions.

There are already 250 magazines on the site, including Prevention, Real Simple, Food & Wine, Body + Soul, Elle, Fitness, Marie Claire, Nylon, and New York Magazine. Prices range from a low $4.95 a month for three magazines to $9.95 a month for seven magazines, and $1 more for each additional magazine.

Whether you’re an armchair traveler (add: Sherman’s Travel, Travel + Leisure, and National Geographic Adventure to your cue) or a frequent flier (you’ll have glossies to pack in your carry-on), this service can save you big bucks at the newsstand.
