In addition to being a source of crucial information, newspapers can also be fanned across a coffee table to conceal almond-butter stains or rolled into a handy bopping device to stun tarantulas. Get a steady supply of spider-boppers with today's deal: for $10, you get a six-month subscription to the Modesto Bee's Sunday edition (a $26 value). Modesto Bee keeps locals in the loop with breaking news, fun features, sports recaps, and more. Contained within the pages of this mystic tome are more than $19,000 worth of coupons per year, and while curiosity-cravers can use the thousands of classified ads to stay on top of job listings, adoptable pets, housing vacancies, and used, slightly haunted Beta Max players. Whether reading about the triumphant Horatio Alger tales of the valley's artisanal cheesemongers or catching up on high-school pigskin playoffs, the Modesto Bee leaves subscribers brimming with more regional knowledge than a county alderman who has just eaten an entire Trivial Pursuit game board.
