$1.90 for a Newspaper?!?

The Jerusalem Post is Israel's major daily English newspaper. It's a good paper with a great deal of local news but it is expensive! It costs 8.5 NIS (New Israeli Sheqel), which is around $1.88 to $1.93. After August 1 rolls around and we are in our new place, we'll have to see if we really want or need a newspaper; after all, most of the content of the Post is online.
