Are their newspaper boxes anywhere? Publix?

I'm not down here for a long enough stretch to warrant a subscription.. yet.

If you are on a tight budget, you can save the sales tax by buying the paper from a machine because Publix and other stores add the tax.

Why would you want that fish wrapper? It gives fish a bad name.

Subscribe. It’s like $68/yr. Then you call them to stop and they don’t charge you for the time you are gone. Just pick up when you come back. Best bargain in The Villages

When we 1st bought here 5-6 years ago, there was news in the paper and we liked it. Now very little news except sports.

Mostly stuff about what is going on here with some sports and a little bit of news thrown in.

Still read it over breakfast but not what I would expect of a traditional newspaper as it is not even close to being one.

Be interesting to see who the developer tells the paper to endorse for Sumter county commissioners.

You can subscribe for less and then just put a hold on it when you are gone. They give you credit for the days the paper is stopped. You may get two years out of your subscription if you are only here 6 months.

Yes, most mail stations have coin machines, 50 cents for the Monday to Saturday paper, and one dollar on Sunday. You can also buy the paper at the drugstores and grocery stores.

Are you sure that this is The Villages Daily Sun's current price? Seems to me that the current weekday price is at newspaper sellers is $1.00 and the Sunday price is $1.25 as printed on the front page. The yearly subscription to each addition is $88.

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.
