Unsubscribing

Does anyone still get The Boston Globe delivered every day?

I'm trying to talk myself into ending my subscription to home delivery of the "dead trees" version of The Boston Globe, or perhaps switching to Sunday only. Switching would save me $35 a month, and stopping would save $49 per month, and I wouldn't be lugging a huge pile of paper (that I haven't read) to the recycling bin every week. I might keep the Sunday paper for the grocery coupons, which would more than offset the cost of the papers. And I can read anything I want online.

But I do want there to be a local liberal newspaper in some form. And I want to see what gets printed about my theater projects about 4 times a year...and I like the idea of knowing what was on "the front page." But I am almost to the point where it is not worth nearly $50 a month for that.

Did you stop long ago? Should I drop it?

They used to offer daily GlobeReader for free with a Sunday-only dead-tree subscription, but they don't anymore. If this is the route you decide to go, please let us know what it costs.
