    Default Do you subscribe to the newspaper?

    We do. I have been toying with getting rid of the subscription, but dh reads the paper from front to back every day and although there is a website, the entire paper is not available for viewing online.

    I did figure out this morning that we are saving $27/year by subscribing over the cover price.

    We subscribe to the Atlanta Journal Constituion. Sometimes, we end up reading it online and throwing away the paper edition.

    We don't. We get the free ads paper on Monday or Tuesday (Jaysn delivers it) and I will buy the Sunday paper if I want to coupons in it.

    We subscribe to the daily news and the Sunday paper. I like to sit down first thing in the morning before work and read the paper, it's part of my morning routine! Some of the articles are online, but in order to get a lot of the local stuff you have to subscribe online as well.

    We do not subscribe to the paper. I only buy Sunday's paper for the coupons, which there wasn't any in this week, made me so mad.............

    We don't subscribe to the paper. I check my news daily on the internet and we get a free Advertizer on Fridays which has all of the grocery store flyers in it, so I can check out what's on sale for the week.

    I read my news paper online for free. To me it isn't worth paying for if I can get it for free

    We used to, but I figured I could save by not subscribing since I can read it online for free and also I can read it in the library at work.

    I cancelled mine about a year ago. We get the paper at work and I read it the next day. Saves me a $120 a year.

    I moved into this apartment in May and to my surprise the subscription to the local paper was never cancelled from the last tenant. I told the paper boy and called, but it ws paid for so they kept delivering it. I found it more of a nuisance than anything else. I sometimes appreciated the Sunday paper, but the delivery stopped a week or so ago and I don't miss it, so probably wouldn't renew it.

    We recently cancelled our subscription. I do miss it. We have found that Walgreen's sell our Sunday paper for 50¢. The cover price is $1.50, so this is a great deal. I was also disappointed by the lack of coupons last Sunday.
