for breakfast. I love a cup of coffee, a croissant and a newspaper. Sometimes the really bad tabloids are also good for this purpose.

This should have been the most obvious answer. All I can figure is that whoever wrote the poll has never had paper delivery and didn't realize that weekly was an option. Like you, we get the coupons and such with Sunday and have no reason to get daily. Or even read the paper, since it is easier to read the exact same stories online.

She loves coupons and, hey, they save money when we shop for groceries
No, they save YOU money when you shop for groceries. They COST me money when you shop for groceries. Standard pricing is inflated to cover the loss from coupons. Rewarding those whose opportunity costs are so low that clipping coupons is a net benefit, and penalizing those who actually spend their time being productive.
That is about the most pathetic claim to victimhood I've read all week. And I've read Slashdot every day.

Some of us lived before the internet, you insensitive clod! If you wanted news in the 1950s, you had to buy a paper paper.
I worked for a newspaper conglomerate many years ago. Even back then, the age distribution of subscribers was simply staggering:
Below 30 : "What's a newspaper? news-paper ... is that like the latin root word where news.google.com got its name?"
30-60 : "I don't subscribe, but I know someone who does. But, I still watch the nightly network news, and all its prescription commercials."
Above 60 : "Everyone subscribes to the paper, everyone, right?"

Sounds fair to me (and I never use coupons). The only drawback to the system might be listening to the occasional whiner... and truthfully, I never imagined I'd actually hear one before you posted.
