These days, local magazines go for P100-P150 per issue, and imported ones such as InStyle, Lucky, and Glamour sell for P400-700 each. (Outrageous! In the US, you can get these titles for only $1 or P45 per issue when you subscribe for a year.)
Sorry to say, there's no way we can get the same bargain here. But if you promise yourself to steer clear of current magazines, and instead shop for back issues at Filbars for your monthly magazine fix, you'll be saving lots of Php's -- I certainly have! I set aside just P100 for my monthly magazine fund, and this gets me either a back issue of InStyle, Lucky, or Glamour, or 3 local titles!
Aside from these, I regularly visit websites as Style.com and local online fashion e-zine StealThatLook.com for free, or browse through magazines in salons when I'm getting a haircut or a mani/pedi!

Wow, $1 lang pala magazines in the States? Sana our local publishers can also make their magazines more affordable for local readers!
