This is Funny
Just over a week ago, I purchased a subscription from the Chicago Tribune. The cost to me at the time was $2.25 per week for seven-day delivery. My roommate "Resident" recieved a letter from the Tribune today. They are offering him their "Limited-Time Pricing" starting at $0.99 a week. That, of course, is for three-day delivery. No surprise there. But here's the surprise: guess how much seven-day delivery costs in this limited-time deal? Yeah, $2.25 per week. There wasn't any indication on the Trib's website that I had stumbled onto a limited-time deal; the only basis for my price that I can figure out is my ZIP Code.
