I check in with RetailMeNot fairly regularly to see if they have any coupon codes for newspaper subscriptions.
I got my Tribune subscription about a year ago for $.50 per week/Wed, Fri, Sun for as long as I continue my subscription. Considering that I save well over that with each weekend’s coupons, I never plan to cancel.
I just saw a new code (even though it says it’s 5 months old) for a $.50 subscription for the Sunday Tribune. This is a major bargain considering the Trib sells for $1.99 in the store. If you buy your paper only for the inserts, this might be a great deal for you!
This code is 09JE, but if that doesn’t work for some reason click the same code on this page. It is at the top. You will most likely only be able to click it once, so make sure that you’re ready to use it!
You can also check RetailMeNot for codes for any other local newspapers. People add codes all the time, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t find something right away.
