Here's a question I get asked frequently:

Do you really need to get multiple Sunday newspapers to save money?

And, the short answer I give is always: yes.

Well, well, well, me and my little calculator did a little figuring this morning and came to this conclusion! Are you ready for this??

With the Statesman...read more
