Money Saving Tips

For some reason Americans love coupons, you find them everywhere, and Florida is no exception. We are not talking 10p off of a tin of backed beans, we are talking about coupons that can actually save you quite a bit of money.

Where to find them

Outside most super markets, shopping malls, restaurants all have booklets full of coupons. It’s a very competitive business running a restaurant in and around Orlando, most offer 10-15% off of the complete bill. The way I look at it, is that it at least pays the tip to the server. If you have a big party 4 or more people 10-15% off of the bill could be $10-20, so worth claiming.

10-25% Off of clothes, shoes, sporting goods. You will find coupons for Rebook, Nike, and many more.
