Crossword puzzles

Any ideas of how to get a copy of the daily New York Times crossword puzzles? The Times offers, for free, all their daily news (which is certainly not to be confused with The Daily News by any stretch of anyone's imagination even people who loathe the Times). But they do not offer the puzzles for free. I love doing the puzzle every day and sometimes manage to snag an Arts section on the train or from a friend but it's not reliable. Or fair, when you think about it. And buying the paper these days is way way way over my budget even though it's a pursuit that stimulates all the myriad intricate corridors and synapses of my brain. The daily NYT costs $2 x 6 days x 52 weeks = $642 and if you get Sundays it adds $5 x 52 which is $260 so it's $902 a year and that's just plain silly. And in case you're wondering, yes, you can buy just the puzzles for $40 a year but you also have to download proprietary software and that always makes me nervous. So I want another source until such time as they decide to be nice to all the people who love the puzzles and would think ever so well of them....
