The News And Observer Raleigh Nc By dlpcarden on - Updated Sep 18, 2011

I subscribed to The News and Observer newspaper weekend delivery last year. The News and Observer had a booth set up at the NC State Fair. When I signed up I received an umbrella and a Walmart gift card. The following weekend my newspaper delivery started. I was so happy with my weekend newspaper delivery that I called and upgraded my subscription to the seven day delivery. There have been a few times when my paper was never delivered. All I had to do was call the newspaper circulation department. I was given the option of having the paper delivered later in the day or having my subscription extended by a day.

There are several different sections that are in the News and Observer - National, City and State, Sports, Life, Business, and Classifieds. In the Sunday edition of the News and Observer there are additional items - sales papers for local retailers and my favorite - COUPONS!!!

I save so much money by using coupons that I clip from the Sunday paper that I can pay for by subscription to the News and Observer for a least one month.

Sounds like you are managing very well with your coupon clipping. I tend to forget about them. It is good that you can pay for the subscription with the money you save.

We have a similar paper here called the Advantage. I love it because it is really local and gives me great deals in my area! Thanks for the info.

Sounds like a good local paper. The coupons make it wortht he price if you clip and use them.

I guess I need to wait for the fair this fall and sign up. I usually read the news online, but then I don't have the coupons (or get an umbrella and gift card).

I only buy a newspaper for the coupons, but this sounds like a great paper!

Sounds like the coupons are making your subscription well worth it.
