we did the free one over the summer and it just ran out. I enjoyed it, but wow did I feel overrun with newspapers!! Between the local paper and the usatoday, that was alot of papers to read in a day!! I was surprised how cheap it was when it came time to start paying for it. If I didn't want my local paper for local news, I would get the usatoday. It was cheaper to get it in the mail everyday than my local paper is! It was also more reliable. We never missed a day (except saturday when it doesn't come) with the usatoday, but I can't say the same thing about my local paper. Everyone enjoy!!
