MATT:

Donald Duck & Co sells for 41,90 NOK per copy, but as a subscriber I pay a bit less. Converted to USD at a 8NOK/1 exchange rate, it´s 5,30 USD. 
To that, I´ll say Egmont´s printing on good quality paper. They´ve had periods some 15 years ago when they after my opinion used lower quality, but now, it´s supreme! And it should be, as I´m collecting… 

I first met the US Disney comic books on newsstands in Norway around 1980, and they sold for less than ours, but on far lower quality papers. Gladstone continued on that path, but then I started to subscribe to WDC&S, DD, MM, DDA, US, etc. I finally got married and was banned from that hobby of mine… 

Norway´s economical status is probably far better off than yours. I have no remarks to the newsstand price of Donald Duck & Co, but I clearly see your point on the price tag, weeky allowances and other temptations on a digital platform, i.e. From growing up, I also remember my use of «Donald» was reading, and as a parent it´s read and collect. In that setting, the current price policy might be damaging the return of lineups in front of the news shelves on publishing days!
