In 2005, I moved from Ohio to Tampa Bay for a year... until I fell in love with my husband, guava pastries and 70-degree weather on Christmas. I've been here ever since, working as a journalist and moonlighting as a bargain hunter. My favorite four-letter word is "deal," so whether you've got money to burn or a pocket full of sunshine, I'll share the tips that'll get you more Florida for less.
Happy Memorial Day weekend! Through 9/3, military families get free admission to 1,500 museums nationwide! Pass it on! http://t.co/12AasnQP

Big on love but short on cash? Here's a Valentine's weekend idea that'll make your wallet swoon: free concerts!
Feb. 16 to 19 is the Mount Dora Music Festival, with more than 10 free concerts downtown from bluegrass to jazz.
Here's your game plan: Get your sweetie a card on Feb. 14, then stock up on clearance chocolates and roses after V-Day. Present these tokens of your affection, head out for a free concert and voila! Suddenly, you're not cheap; you're romantic!
