These can be found in abundance and you can get some very good savings and don’t have to just shop in the sales!
RESTAURANTS
You will find money off vouchers for most restaurants in the various free publications you can collect throughout Florida. It is not only in Orlando that these are published. However some restaurants do not participate, I have only once seen a voucher for Fridays and that was for a specific newly opened restaurant.
Many restaurants do Early Bird offers the times for these can vary between 3. 00pm- 7. 00pm.
Most restaurants do concessions for Senior Citizens (over 50 ) usually if you ask they will give these even if they are not advertised.
HOTELS
The majority of Hotels, particularly in Orlando advertise their rates. However some, particularly near the Coasts do not and you can walk in and ask the rate which is sometimes open to negotiation.
There are specific Hotel publication that you can get in Tourist information Offices or in the foyer of many restaurants that advertise “walk in specials” i. e. you walk in with the voucher to book for that day.
AA/AAA
If you are a member of the AA in the UK you will qualify for AAA discounts in America, many places advertise a AAA symbol outside. We got ours by phoning the AA in the UK who issued us with an AAA card. I am not sure whether they still issue these or you just use your original AA card, best to check with the AA before you travel.
WEEKEND NEWSPAPERS
These are crammed with vouchers and discount coupons. I always intend to read my book but at weekends sometimes never get further than the newspapers! Particularly good for vouchers for drugstores Walgreens and Eckerd who we always seem to visit and they nearly always have offers for Colas, nail products etc.
DISCOUNT COUPON BOOKS
Can be found everywhere in Orlando as can specific vouchers for money off, i. e. Reebok nearly always have quite a substantial saving voucher and this along with their many in store 3 for 2 offers mount up to substantial savings. I have yet to find discount vouchers for Nike although they may exist.
Money off entry to many Florida attractions can also be found in these.
PUBLIX
This supermarket has its own publication usually situated at the entrance to the store and in this you will find money off vouchers for items in its store, they nearly always have some sort of offer on Beer and Sodas.
CRAZY GOLF
Vouchers for discounts for these can be found in most publications. However many of these courses also give an additional discount for afternoon play.
BELZ / PREMIUM OUTLETS
In Belz go to the Information desk and ask for a book of discount vouchers. At Premium Outlets you can go to the Information desk and either present your AAA card or a voucher obtained in one of the free publications and they give you a discount book. I believe Premium Outlets have starting charging for these books if you don’t have the AAA card or a voucher.
The savings in both outlets particularly in Ralph Lauren can be quite substantial.
One final saving - in the Food Court at Premium Outlets buy 3 Giant Toffee Apples and get the fourth free! We love them, cant possibly eat them in one go , they keep in the fridge for about 4 days and are eaten sliced, either on their own or with ice cream!
