How do you read the Sunday Paper?

**Freedom** · 10-31-2010, 08:23 AM

I have to be sure to get the Sunday paper before Dad, as he will have it strewn all about the house in no time! I have a method to this pile of paper:
1. Get my first cup of coffee, and Separate the paper into 4 piles.

A. Comics and Parade Magazine
B. the "news" part of the paper. The sections in our paper are all interspersed with sale ads, so I gather them together and put them in order.
C. Trash pile: to include the Sports section (we have no interest in sports in this house, never have!), sales flyers for clothes, toys, pools, etc.
D. Sales flyers I WANT to read: the 3 local pharmacies, Target (they have good sales on the cat litter I use, so I check weekly), Best Buy, Staples, Home Depot, and the 2 coupon sections.

2. FINALLY, I am ready to start reading the durn thing! LOL I read the comics and Parade first, so I can pass them to Dad. Once he is done, they get added to the trash pile which is ready to go OUT!

3. Coupon sections, pull out the ones I need, add them to the trash pile (I get through them before Dad is finished w/ the comics and Parade).

4. Get the second cup of coffee, and settle in to read the "news" part of the paper.

5. Last, and usually later in the day, I browse the few flyers I kept, and make a list of anything I want to pick up that week. Then, out they go as well.

So how do YOU read the Sunday paper?

Yes I always read it with a cup or two of coffee. Love the Sunday paper.

I make 3 piles:
stuff I wanna look at (comics, parade, and coupons)
rest of the actual newspaper material (I give to a coworker for her puppies)
glossy paper sale ads (garbage)

I always look at the coupons first, then set aside the booklet for another coworker. Then I glance through Parade. Comics are set aside for whenever I get a chance to read them.

I walk up the hill to the mailbox & bring the paper in. Hubby sorts out sales ads. He puts the tv guide, coupon selections, & usa weekend over where I sit at the kitchen table. I clip coupons, mark up the tv guide if anything special is on during the week, read usa weekend. Put the ads in the recycle box. Hubby reads the whole paper. We have a few cups of decaff coffee in the process.

I don't get the newspaper anymore. $2 for alot of paper I have to take care of to read alot of things that depress and anger me just isn't worth it.

Mum hands me the comics and the rest of the paper magically disappears into oblivion.

He brings it in; I separate.

His pile - ads for Best Buy, Target and Sears.

I take the rest of it, and after throwing out all the junk ads, I read it from front to back. PARADE and the TV section I save for last. No coffee - neither of us drink it.

My favorite section is Sports - just wish it were larger.
