When was the last time you bought an actual newspaper? Heck, when was the last time you even read one? ~

It’s been at least a year or two for me.

    I have the newspaper delivered weekly and I read them every day.  I take the weekday ones to work and read it while having lunch and the others are read at home.

  • It has probably been 10 years since I last had a paper delivered...they were offering a free subscription and a $25 Visa gift card just for taking the free subscription. Cancelled auto renew a month later and never had to pay a cent.  Probably have to go back about 15 years for when I would actually read it with any regularity.  Makes me a bit nostalgic thinking about the comments sections on Sundays and the Sunday sports page during football season when they would break down the football games for the day.

    I used to get the Sunday paper when I had time to read it. Such beautiful times... a cup of coffee or two and a leisurely morning spent reading. That was before I had children #2 and #3, so at least 12 years ago. When child #2 came, I converted to having the news on the TV in the background. When child #3 came, I started getting all my news from answerMug and push notifications on my phone. lol

      Wait, you get your news from AnswerMug?  Gee, that certainly explains a lot . . .

  • My parents subscribe to the Sacramento Bee and occasionally I will take a look at it and read an interesting article or two. But I don't generally read newspapers. I read articles online if I feel the need to.

    I buy one at Publix or Winn Dixie each Sunday when I go see my mother.  She loves the Sunday paper.   I just subscribed to 7-day home delivery.
