Default Weekly food ad

For some reason, they decided to stop the free delivery of the weekly
Journal here. It now costs $20 a year. That's not a huge sum, but in a
time when newspaper readership is down and the economy is not strong,
they decide to do that? It made little sense.

I used to actually enjoy that paper because it had a robust food
section. Over the past couple of years they reduced it drastically,
finally combining it with another section. The last few months before
free delivery was cut off the food portion was down to half a page or
so.
