Okay, so here's the deal. I was trying to figure out how much that Closer magazine costs these days, right? My aunt loves it, and I was thinking of getting her a subscription or something.
First thing I did, obviously, was hop online. I started with a good old Google search, typing in "closer magazine price". Simple as that.
What I got back was a bunch of different options. I saw some links to the official Closer website, which I clicked on. That took me to their subscription page, where they were offering different deals – like a certain amount off for the first few months, or a free gift if you sign up for a year. Cool, but I wanted to know the regular price too.
Then I saw some links to newsstand prices. Apparently, prices can vary a little depending on where you buy it. I also noticed some websites selling back issues, which wasn't what I was after but interesting nonetheless.
Next, I checked Amazon, because, well, who doesn't check Amazon? They had Closer available for single-issue purchase, and they also had subscription options. The prices were pretty similar to what I saw on the official website.
After that, I thought, "Hey, maybe my local grocery store has it listed online". So, I went to their website and searched for Closer magazine. Bingo! They had the current issue listed with the single-copy price. It was slightly different from the newsstand prices I saw earlier, but only by a little bit.
To get a better overall picture, I decided to hit up a couple of other online retailers. I checked a few magazine subscription websites, comparing their offers and looking for any hidden fees or extra charges.
After all that digging, I had a pretty good idea of the price range. A single issue of Closer seems to hover around a certain price point, give or take a dollar or two depending on where you buy it. A subscription, of course, works out cheaper per issue, especially if you snag one of those introductory offers.
I didn't just want to rely on online info, though. So, I went to a local bookstore. They had a pretty good magazine rack, and I found Closer there. I checked the price tag – yup, pretty much in line with what I found online.
The conclusion? The price of Closer magazine is relatively consistent across different retailers, both online and offline. Subscriptions offer the best value, but buying a single issue here and there isn't going to break the bank either. Now I just need to decide if I should get my aunt the subscription or just buy her a few issues every now and then. Decisions, decisions!
