What's the easiest and cheapest way to get back issues of magazines?

Question

I need a couple of issues of Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide, but they're from last year, so I can't just get one off their websites. And I see them on a few websites for like $20 each, which is insane, so I was wondering if there was any cheaper way to get them.

Answer 1

Since libraries only keep magazines from one year ago or less, your best bet would be to check at your local library.  Most of the time, if your library is like mine, they have a table set up with old donated issues of magazines and they are available for purchase for $0.25.  Otherwise, try calling your library and see if they have the magazines available for purchase.  I hope you find what you're looking for!
