But for a limited time, with this offer, you get not just 1 but 4 issues with free delivery, for a total of just £1. This is so cheap that it's virtually free as far as we're concerned, since the £1 is just a token payment. But we're not sure if the offer will last that long so be quick.

4. 4 virtually free issues of Heat Magazine
heat magazine is packed full to bursting with all the hottest celeb news, fashion and TV. It's normally £1.65 for 1 issue at the news stand, but with this offer from Great Magazines you get 4 issues with free delivery, for a total of just £1. This is so cheap that it's virtually free as far as we're concerned, since the £1 is just a token payment. You'll need to provide Direct Debit details, and if you continue the subscription beyond the first 4 issues you'll enjoy 25% savings off the cover price. But there's no obligation to do so, you can just cancel your Direct Debit after the first payment of £1 is taken and enjoy the 4 (virtually free, in our eyes) issues.
5. 3 issues of PC Pro + Free 26-piece Tool Kit for £1
Claim 3 issues of PC Pro Magazine DVD edition for just £1 AND get a free 26-piece tool kit perfect for PC repairs and any handy work. That's better than paying £4.99 for just ONE issue in the shops!
