cost of newspaper (sunday only)

futureJHL · July 2009

what do you pay for your Sunday only newspaper? I just looked up Greensboro news and record and it's $65 for a year. Am I just ridiculously cheap or is that expensive? I guess if i break it down, it doesn't seem as bad... 1.25 per paper. But I wonder if I just didn't do coupons if I would break even?

They just raised the in-store price to $2. We just look at the ads and coupons and don't even open up the paper anymore - the articles are horrible. I think the recession made them get rid of their good writers!

ETA: This is the Triangle's News & Observer.

It's $100 for a year here, I am on the website now! I do like to read the paper though, so I think I'll get more out of it than just the coupons.

I think the N&O in Raleigh is $1.50 on Sunday, and I get 2 (DH buys them so that is why I don't know for sure). There is generally $120 worth of coupons in each paper. I would say it is worth the $$. I have gotten some realy good deals.

They just raised their price to $2 about a month or so ago. Boo. Although I *think* Dollar Tree has the newspaper there for $1 (but DH did see people stealing the coupons out of those papers on a few occasions...so...)

I definitely save more than $65 or $100 per year with coupons. Big Smile

I think I paid $23.75 quarterly for Sunday only, and I think it recently went up to like $27.... it's auto drafted from my bank account, so I'm not sure.

I've been debating this too. The N&O has an option for 4 weeks, so I may start with that, and see if I feel like I am saving enough to make it worthwhile. I won't read the paper, so I'd be just paying for the coupons.

They have a special running right now for $2 a week total for delivery of the Friday, Sat & Sun paper.

For Sunday only, here we break even with in-store or subscription -- it's the convenience of having it delivered. There's a discount if you subscribe every day though.

We did Sunday only for a long time -- I figured if I used just $2 in coupons on average, I was coming out slightly ahead!

it's $2 here. it's not hard to save that w/ coupons.

$60 a year sounds like a steal - if you use the coupons.

mrsNnearly · July 2009

I think we pay about $54 every 6 months to have the N&O delivered on Sundays (it is autodrafted from our bank acct). We only really look at the ads and coupons. It is totally worth it to me. I love being able to walk to the end of my driveway for the paper!

I buy it at the dollar store... I always make sure it has the coupons in it before I buy it though. Also, if i am out of town (which we have been a lot this summer) I don't have to worry about stopping the paper that weekend.

Call and ask for a reduced rate - we got 50% off the advertised price for the WS Journal and pay $1 per week for the paper. I save much more than that in coupons - we typically save around 80% off our grocery bill each month and hardly ever pay for toiletries. Of course, not all the coupons from from the paper, but a lot do!

We pay $18 for 12 weeks for Sunday's only with the News and Record. ?So $48 total a year. ?
