A great deal for the Honolulu Star Bulletin

I got a call from the Honolulu Star Bulletin the other night. Ho hum, another telemarketer trying to sell me something I don't need. Wait - this was a good deal! She said I could get a one-year subscription to the Honolulu Star Bulletin (including Sundays) for $50!

Oahu's most popular newspaper is the Honolulu Advertiser, which I've subscribed to for decades. Could I handle the change?

Here are some differences:

- The Honolulu Advertiser is delivered early in the morning. The Star Bulletin is delivered in the afternoon, except on weekends, when it's delivered in the morning.

- As for news content - the Advertiser is probably a bit better.

- The Honolulu Advertiser subscription rate is $39.15 for 12 weeks. That works out to about $170 per year. Versus $50 per year for the Star Bulletin - sounds like a deal to me!

Now I'm getting both papers and comparing them. I think the biggest adjustment is waiting until the afternoon (on weekdays) to read the Star Bulletin. When my Honolulu Advertiser subscription runs out I think I'll just read the Star Bulletin - maybe pickup the Advertiser on Sundays.

Check it out - that's a great deal for a daily newspaper. I called the Honolulu Star Bulletin and asked if the offer is open to anybody. They said yes - for a limited time.
