Supersized Strib
I did a double take at a convenience store yesterday. By the checkout was a stack of Sunday Minneapolis Star Tribunes, bound with small strips of paper into two-packs. Instead of $1.50, you can get two for $2.22. "Twice the deals!" it said, apparently referring to having two sets of coupons.
I cannot imagine who the targeted customer is of such a promotion. If anything, they should create a "forest friendly" edition, leaving out the OpEx section, the puff pieces, the want ads, the glossy inserts, and certain columnists. That might be worth $2.50!
