I just want to say that it's not just the Tribune with the weird pricing... During a recent "let's cut stuff out of my budget" moment, I called the NYTimes to cancel my $25 a month subscription (with games and cooking and sports). By the end of it, I had a $2/month subscription for everything and got credit for my most recent $25 payment, so, I'm already paid in full for more than a year.

I have found the NY Times quite amenable to suggestions of a cheaper subscription price. And the New Yorker as well. I wait until I get a postcard or an email with price of $X. I call and get a better one.
Whoa -- what a great price, Trish! I'm going to remember that. The food/recipes/cooking (which I love) doubled in price from last year to this. And I assure you, it's a lot more than $2 a month.
