Better Homes and Gardens: Save 88%

Better Homes and Gardens has been publishing continuously since 1922, and the longevity is the point — it survived by being useful rather than fashionable, covering decorating, gardening, food and home improvement at a level pitched squarely at people doing the work themselves. The garden content in particular is regionally aware in a way most national shelter titles are not. At 88% off the newsstand, a full year costs less than two issues bought individually. It suits homeowners with an ongoing list rather than a single project, since the value accumulates across seasons rather than landing in one issue. Sale runs 23 August to 12 September.
