Larry,
FYI, when we quit paying for the local propaganda rag at least a decade ago, we started getting a coupon/circular bundle mailed to us every Wednesday. Apparently, circulation had dropped so precipitously for the local rag, it was the only way advertisers could get their circulars to most folks.
The mailed bundle is probably not quite as extensive as the bundle in the paper itself, especially the Sunday paper, but it has all of the grocery store circulars, which is all we care about anyway. For any others we might care about, we just go to the stores’ websites and signup for their circulars to automatically emailed.
And for the icing on the cake, the local rag has an email signup where they’ll email you a synopsis of the main local articles (with links) to the full articles every day, though one day behind the paper publication. Using firefox with ad blocker addons, and FF’s readerview button, and nuking cookies whenever necessary, the articles can be read without the normal massive popup interference.
I know. My wife does like some of the local news (people like Cesar Milan coming to town), real estate prices, etc.
I can’t get her to drop the two times a week.
