That price for example compares to Boston Globe weekday price of $3.00 and the Sunday price is $6.00. They offer a senior rate for weekday and Sunday for $21.80 per week or about $1,133 per year.

For those critical of content, you must first recognize that all daily newspapers are offering old news compared to what is offered on line for free.

So what you are getting is local news, advertisements, coupons, garage sales, homes sales/rentals, auto sales, crosswords, death notices, SODUKO, and opinions.

Some would criticize the Daily Sun as compared to the Boston Globe due to its slant towards The Villages and lack of detailed coverage of some world events. But the choice is theirs At the same time, are we that needy for all of the local news from any Town ,USA at a price of over $1,133 per year?

Thanks. According to the vending machine, the stated price is 50 cents daily and one dollar on Sunday. Although, today's Sunday paper does say $1.25 on the front page. So, they may be starting a price increase soon. The annual subscription is $88.
