A robust collection of magazines sends visitors a dual message: that you’re well read and that you have total confidence in the load-bearing properties of your coffee table. Stay in the know while vouching for your furniture with today’s Groupon: for $7, you get a one-year subscription to Thrive! Magazine (a $14.95 value).

The recently launched Thrive! Magazine celebrates local successes while putting the microscope on community issues that promote the revitalization of Buffalo through business, faith, culture, and the arts. From profiles on Buffalo architecture to essays exposing impoverished socioeconomics, Thrive! Magazine reports on an array of local happenings, enabling readers to stay informed without having to hire Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek to re-read the news in the form of a question. Flip through the food section to read about the most satiating new restaurants, or jump to the culture guide to find art and theater events taking place in the region. Each six-issue subscription also comes with online access to the digital version, allowing Buffalo expatriates to stay up-to-date from their beach house or Internet-equipped dogsled. And as a community supporter, Thrive! Magazine donates a portion of money raised through advertising and subscriptions to non-profit organizations, schools, and charities in the area.
