What's two bits?

After years of resistance, we've joined Charlotte, Raleigh, Fayettevile, Asheville and other papers around the state in charging $1.50 for the Sunday paper. The reason shouldn't surprise you: as with so many other things, expenses are through the roof. I think that this is the first single copy price increase in 10 years.

Hey, if you would redeem just a couple of the $100 worth of coupons included in the paper, you'd have the whole paper paid for!
