The excellent COMPUTER SHOPPER is a good example of this:

     Canadian News Stand price -- CAN$42 for 12 issues

     Subscription price US$19.97 + US#31.00 = US50.97 = CAN$61.16 for 12 issues

I have asked my local Coles Bookstore people to layby my copy every month,
so I do not miss a single issue and do not have to haunt the boosstore
every month around magazine delivery time.

If more people do this, the publishers may wake up to the fact that their
customers are getting fed up with having no say in magazine distribution.
