If you subscribe to newspaper, you need to read this.

I'm in the U.S. and I like to subscribe to the Sunday paper for the sales flyers & coupons. Recently I had to cancel the credit card where my paper subscription was automatically billed due to someone using the number without authorization. So, I received a bill from the newspaper. Since they had continued to deliver the paper, I did pay the bill, BUT I noticed that they were charging me $2.23 per Sunday paper when I can buy it in stores for $1.50. I realize & expect a slight surcharge for delivery, but that was quite high to me. When I asked they claimed that the price was going up to $2.25 in stores that week. Well, lo & behold, the price had still not gone up that week as I was told. I called again and another rep told me that it was going up but not until next week. Well, several weeks later and the price was still at $1.50. So I called to cancel. When they asked me why I said that I would just drop by the store & pick up a copy since they were charging so much for home delivery now. Amazingly enough, the dropped the price in half and I'm now paying LESS than I would in the store. So, if you subsribe, check your bill and see what you're being charged..
