I don’t know the subscription rate for these two California rags but if my local “newspaper” is any indication, they are obscene. Not only the high rate but the content will turn away anybody with 3 synapses firing. I haven’t a clue as to how they remain in business. Do they provide every hotel/motel room in the state with a free copy (USA Today style)?
I used to buy the Sunday paper for the coupons, but at five bucks a paper it would have to have at least ten bucks of coupons for things that I really need or want for it to be worth it.
I used to flip through the coupons to see if it was worth it to buy the paper, but I even stopped doing that because I would almost rather not save five bucks on stuff and not give my money to the stupid company that bought out what was once a decent family-run newspaper.
