In January the Eagle started randomly delivering the paper to our house. At first we were worried we would get charged, but we never did. While I clipped coupons, my husband enjoyed the Sports section. Then one day it didn't arrive. And we HAD to have it. So we checked out the online pricing. $133.92 annually isn't bad- but they wanted a full year's pay up front and that just hurts. So we forgot about it. On Thursday, I was walking into the gas station next to the library when a woman outside stopped me to discuss an Eagle subscription. $11.15 per month, and I could pay month to month. Then, here's the clincher. She handed me $30 cash- almost enough to pay for the first three months. Definitely a better deal than we found online. And today- Saturday- the paper showed up.
EDITED TO ADD: My friend Amy informs me that the Eagle offers subscriptions to people that are affiliated with Texas A&M for only $50 per year. That is half of what we paid even with the $30 discount. Thanks, Amy.
