We quit getting the "paper" newspaper, but when we did, I used to wash windows with them.
Take a quart bottle, put 1/4 cup vinegar and ONE drip of dish soap, then fill with water. Squirt the windows and wipe till shiney with the black and white newspapers.
alternatively, I used to tear them into strips and put them on the compost heap.
We tried making the "logs" out of them and they just made way too much ash.

I don't subscribe to the paper, I think it is a waste of money. Occasionally we will go buy one for whatever reason comes up. I save them and use them and other paper as tinder when we have our back yard camp fires.
