5.0 out of 5 stars
Female version of Consumer Reports Magazine.,
By
This review is from: ShopSmart (Magazine)
I consider this magazine to be the feminine version of Consumer Reports. The articles are condensed versions of most that can be found in the regular Consumer Reports mag as well as the website. But these are mostly "female" related items, bras, saving at the grocery, purses, wines, etc. The colors are flashy and eye catching whereas the Consumer Reports magazine itself is more utilitarian.I really like this magazine because it's shorter to the point articles, I don't have to search long lists to find the top 3 of something. This magazine gives the best recommendations as well as those not recommended. They've left out most of the dirty details to get to that point. The magazine also covers stories about the top 10 tips to save at the grocery, the top 10 websites that save you money, cleaning products you can't live without, the best little black dress and on and on. They also have articles about single females' necessary household tools, and gives the best recommendations for power/hand tools for women. So that's why I'm saying it's meant for women mostly rather than guys. It is expensive for 6 issues but in one purchase you could save $20, so to me the magazine is worth the cost. If you want, just get the online consumer reports, website only access and you'd have the best of both worlds.

Good, but expensive,
By
This review is from: ShopSmart (Magazine)
I've bought the magazine a few times now at the newsstand, and I like the content and layout. However, much like its parent company's Consumer Reports, it is expensive for what it is. Six issues for $23? Not too mention, I have to take even more issue with that price.If you look at the magazine's website you'll see that it is actually $18 for six issues and $4.95 for shipping and handling. Shipping and handling for a magazine- really?

Dishonest Pricing,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ShopSmart (1-year auto-renewal) (Magazine)
The price listed is $22.95 for 12 months (6 issues). But the magazine is published 10 times a year and the publisher is assigning expirations based on six issues (approx. seven months). This makes the cost per year $42 (considerably more than a year on Consumer Reports at $29).The magazine itself is fine (three stars) but the dishonest advertising is completely unacceptable. Also, they seem to be charging a 30% premium to edit CR for a "feminine" audience.
