Re: Newspaper Question...

YES - it's so annoying!

The post is only .25 cents in the city/boroughs. In the 'burbs, its 50 cents..(in Westchester for me, Long Island for you guys -)

That is why I buy the Daily News on my way to work, and don't buy the Post until I'm already in the city (I'm a cheap azz and don't want to spend that extra quarter! Chat Icon)

Re: Newspaper Question...

The Post lowered their price to compete for circulation in the city. It's a ridiculously low price and they take a loss to compete with the Daily News, outside of the city, they dn't have that competition.
