Personally when we bought here as a full time resident, I was under the impression that home owners here got better deals, but they don't, anyone can come here & eat, buy clothing, for the same so-called deal that I thought we were to get!


I agree that Villagers are usually very thrifty. I also agree that even McDonalds seems more expensive here in The Villages, maybe because they CAN charge more and they do, kind of like tourist destinations everywhere.


I am surprised that you thought that the businesses weren't open to the surrounding public. I thought the "deal" was pretty, nicely kept and living among grownups.
