Why Get The Sunday Paper?

It seems that every few weeks I read about a major newspaper going out of business. It's a sad sign of the times. It doesn't seem like that many years ago that we relied on this as a major source of news & information. Well, I hope the Star Tribune stays in circulation for a long, long time since it is a great source for coupons. Did you know that 82% of the billions of coupons in circulation come from the newspaper? That's a lot of opportunities for saving! I receive the Star Tribune Wed. - Sun. each week. Why only these days? Because it's cheaper for me to get the paper delivered for 5 days weekly than it is to get it delivered for just Sunday! It's hard to believe, but true. The Sunday paper sells for approx. $2.00 at the newstand and slightly less than that delivered. I'd suggest that you give the Star Tribune a call at 612-673-4000 and inquire about a subscription. Don't agree to the first quote that you receive! Tell them that you want a better price or a promotional price. They will come down and sweeten the deal for you if you ask! Try the paper for a month or so and see how you like it. It's easy to use their website http://www.startribune.com/ to suspend your service when you are out of town. They also offer the opportinity to donate your paper to schools, etc on days when you are out of town. Now, for those of you who really struggle with bringing volumes of paper into your home, I suggest that you take some of your initial savings and plant a tree in honor of the ones that were sacrificed in order to print your paper! That way it's all good!!
