Cheapest way to subscribe to the NYTimes in NYC?

[speedoo]

There's some kind of a $1 a week deal on the internets, but later the weekly rate goes way up.

Plus, I might not be able to take advantage of the Times' special deal later which might be cheaper in the long run.

Anyone care to comment?

1. Use the internets?

The only thing you don't get is the opinion coloumns, and does one really miss maureen Dowd?

2. I do that, but I want the actual paper in my house...

at least I want to try it again for a while.

Plus, a lot of the stuff they don't give for free on the net is what I like to read.

7. So you want to destroy trees and contribute to Global Warming

I rarely by a newspaper anymore - seems a waste when I have it on my computer

3. Hell freakin' yes I want Maureen Dowd! And all the other op Ed folks.

I get the best subscription ever: hubby brings it home from his office, which pays for it!

The only drawback is: I get it in the evening. But that's OK, for what it costs (smile).

4. Whatta deal!

I only get it on Sundays. $5.36 a shot. And if I don't get up to the store by 7:30/8 - I'm usually out of luck. :( It's just not Sunday without it.

When I lived in South America, we got the Sunday edition on Tuesdays @ the Russian Bookstore - 2 weeks late- but Dad wouldn't let us read it until the following Sunday morning.

5. I missed it when I was in Italy right at election time here!

The Int'l Herald Trib was only available in the major cities. I couldn't get it in the small towns in Tuscany and Umbria, so I was SOL. I got spotty coverage on the International CNN but not in the little hotels where the TVs non funzianno bene.
