Do you buy/read newspapers?
« on: March 15, 2018, 10:23:42 pm »
I have not done this in years. I keep getting offers for subscriptions to newspapers. I guess there are people who still like the actual paper.

No !!! What a waste of money in this age. Add to that in my area we recycle paper so newspapers and mags are easy to come by for free and the local library too.

The local news paper gives a free year when anyone moves to my town.  I get the old ones from a friend just to wash windows with.

Absolutely online.  A lot more info, and you can search and get the information you are looking for.

I expect that could be an industry that fades away.  Of course not everyone has the internet....

I love magazines though,once made 500 dollars on Ebay when I found a hundred of these 1980's mags tossed  out for recycling(some magazine called "Seventeen".  Ppl loved them and that was when Ebay was King and easy as well as Paypal.)

I would think the only ones who still read them are the older generations.  Even if I were to look at one it would only be the sports section.  I never have read the paper and certainly won't be starting now.

I don't read the paper but I clip any coupons of products I use. We have a subscription because my husband prefers to read the newspaper verses reading it online.

Nah, we cancelled ours several years ago to save money, and because the paper was dwindling down to nothing worth reading anyway. Not much need for it anymore with internet.

Yes. We get the Sunday paper of two papers for the ads & crossword puzzles.  Groupon had a deal going for $10 for two years of Sundays.    :)

I buy the local paper once in a while, but most of the time I read the news on the net.
