The Washington Post web site has limited free pages with a subscription offer. The offer is quoted below:
Someone wanting a year of the Washington Post may hope that the offer ends soon and reverts to $10 per year, instead of effectively $12.91 per year ($12.94 in leap years).
Any other examples?
Marginally, but our local convenience store advertises breakfast items at a 2 for $5 special. The breakfast burrito is normally 2.49.
The $10 appears to be every 4 weeks, not yearly. Clocking through the offer, it says
“All-Access DigitalPlan | $0.99 every four weeks for one year, then $10 every four weeks thereafter”
If you do want to subscribe, I wouldn’t wait for this to expire!
Reposting this. Not more expensive, but hardly a deal 
Big sale at Lowe’s. Perfect for those kids moving into a dorm for the first time
Agreed. WP was never $10/year. They charge it every four weeks. The only thing crossed out/replaced in the original post is the cost - though the “every four weeks” being bolded could be misinterpreted as it seems to have been.
NYT charges monthly too. NYT is worth it for me. Not interested in WP even for 99 cents.
What gets me is in grocery stores when they raise prices, then make you think the price you had been paying is the new sale price. I don’t take pics of it though.
I pay $100 per year for the Washington Post online, so about $8 per month.
“get a year of The Washington Post for just $10 99¢ every four weeks” looks like replacing “$10” with “99¢ every four weeks”.
Better would have been writing “get a year of The Washington Post for just $10 99¢ every four weeks”.
ToysRUs was awful about jacking up prices in late fall then miraculously “ON SALE” for the holidays only the sale price was the original price. Tracked it myself a couple of times.
I only pay $29 for the Post for a year. I’ve paid that much the last 2 years. Online only, if that matters.
I’ve noted in the grocery store than sometimes “jumbo” sizes are more expensive per ounce (or whatever) than a smaller size.
We must be related - I snapped this after shaking my head a bit - such a deal!
The Post had a special for $9.99/yr after thanksgiving.
I always enjoy the specials for something that I really want, then find out that the shipping cost totally negates any savings or it’s 2 cents short to qualify for free shipping
I had to look up what I paid for newspapers yearly. 133 for New York Times, 66 for WP, and 250 for our local newspapers. Not counting annual NPR donation. I don’t mind paying for news. We don’t do cable.
Is that daily and Sunday NYT or just daily?
Daily and Sunday NYT, online only. I get access to everything including cooking. It’s 10ish every 4 weeks.
I have subscribed to NYT for several years. I really want online only, but it cost no more to get the Sunday edition delivered.
If you have a .gov or .mil address you can get a WaPo subscription for free.
How about Kohl’s? Everything has a “price” on the items, but we NEVER buy anything there unless we have XX% off coupons, which they send out every few weeks. If there isn’t some sort of sale, we don’t buy there.
I don’t shop often at Kohls, but when we have it seemed they had the same price either with their coupons or with a sale, but didn’t often have coupons and a good sale at the same time.
My kids and I both remarked how they tapped into both groups that way and got essentially the same amount for the items. $15 for X because it was 50% off of a $30 price, or $15 for X because you had a coupon reducing the “sale” price of $21 by 30%.
