debbiedana Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Jerks. I usually buy three for the coupons. Whatever, I'll just get the Sun Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcster Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 That's just ridiculous --- as if they don't make enough money from all the stores paying the newspaper to put in all those store circular inserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kselzer Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 wow - if you're any kind of subscriber (daily, weekend, sunday only, etc) then you get a free paper on Thanksgiving in my area. I'm not sure what the price would be if you went to the store though, but I haven't heard of any price increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebirth Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I am sure they always charge Sunday price for Thanksgiving. Luckily for me, I get the paper for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeddiva Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 My local paper does it too...normal weekday price is 50 cents but the one with the BF ads in it (todays!) is $1.50. I have a sub so it doesn't affect me, but it's still crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaclaus Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Our local paper here in Cincinnati has been doing that for at least 3 years. They charge the same price as they do for a Sunday paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvwalmart Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 If you have a Dollar Tree try getting the paper there. They are gonna be opened on Thanksgiving. I go there for my Sunday paper & only pay 1.00! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i blame history Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 haha for some reason that does not surprise me! I love Chicago, but it causes many, MANY headaches.

mrmogway Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I get mine delivered, I wonder if it'll be more or it only applies to stand price. (gotta watch out for thieves as well).

Marcster Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Just stopped in my local convenience store... Indeed, tomorrow's paper will be $1.50 (the regular Sunday's price). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybrooke Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 maybe they have to hire temps to get all the papers out on Thanksgiving? the newspaper industry has been hit really hard with the economy and the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilish Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Times are tough. The local paper around here charges Sunday price too. Mebbe I should empty a news stand the hawk the papers in retaliation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riven3d Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I used to do that when I was younger, snag more than 1 paper, leave the paper box slightly ajar. Something else I always do when buying a Sunday paper is put in the price for the daily paper and see if it will open, they sometimes forget to turn the key to Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb2013 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Does the LA times give a free newspaper for thanksgiving? I'm a weekend subscriber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosit Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 My local paper, News-Press in Fort Myers Florida, is charging extra for tomorrow. It doesn't make sense to me---don't they get more revenue from the ads? I have taken a stand...No paper for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conj Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 it makes perfect sense - supply and demand... the demand rises on Tday... so does the price. Same thing with Airline tickets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss_heidi Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The local papers we sell at my work are the same way. The Detroit Free Press and Macomb Daily charge the Sunday rates for the T-Day paper. So, it'll be $1.50 tomorrow for each instead. Here I thought every place did this. Guess not.

davephillyj Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I remember last year there was a whole machine full of papers and it would not take any money! The owners went out there and put up a sign saying out of order but someone broke the glass and took one leaving the $2 on top. So he went out there and brought them in and sold them all! That was the only place in town that had any at 7am on Thanksgiving. But I got my coupons and sales papers!

i blame history Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Just avoid the BB in Vernon Hills!
