I recently found a supermarket offering an "any three for £6" on bottles of beer. Price for one? £1.80.

To be fair, some of the types in the offer were £2+. Just not the one I wanted...

Well, both the monthly and annual have the same monthly rate. Here is the simple solution: Just use a plugin to get all major newspapers for $0.00/yr, that's $0.00 per week, or basically an infinite percentage off. Not gonna say the plugin name, for obvious reasons, but it can be attached to an ad blocker. :)
