Which version do you have?
For the absolute cheapest ownership, grab the B version at only $2. The RI ($9) and Standard $14 versions offer slight premium appeal, likely related to print run or minor variations, but the difference is marginal here. If budget is tight, the Standard $5 or Newsstand $5 are good buys. Pay more only if you specifically want the perceived value of the RI or higher-priced Standard copies.
