Is the New York Times Subscription Worth It?
I just got the Sunday Delivery option from the New York Times, which includes a digital subscription and the big Sunday paper which includes quite a bit.
The Sunday Delivery is about $10/week after the promotion and it includes the Sunday Magazine, Book Review, Travel, Sunday Styles, Sunday Review, and the full Digital Subscription. These are all things that I would enjoy.
My usual routine of reading the New York Times is to quickly use up my 10 free articles on both my work laptop (Internet Explorer) and my home computer (Chrome) which is about 20 free articles. Then I use Google News to try and read more (usually allows you to get around paywalls).
