On of the town papers is sold in stores for 15 cents, or you can
subscribe, but they deliver it to everyone's mail box for free anyway,
so I don't know who is dumb enough to buy it. They also leave stacks of
them in the library and in local coffee shops.

Ours has weekly recipes from a number of local chefs. One of them was
from one of my favourite restaurants, but they always seemed incomplete.
They would have am ingredient but then no mention of where it goes in.
Another was from a local steak house, and the recipes were so crappy I
was reluctant to go to the restaurant.
