Sea World and Busch Gardens offer kids get in free. OK mom and dad I think this is cool. So, I wanted to give you a heads up. If you're looking for some affordable family fun in Florida this year, look no further than Busch Gardens and SeaWorld. Both of these popular parks are offering free admission to children five and under with a Preschool Card. I know raising kids is expensive. Especially in todays's economy. And my wife an I quickly discovered with all 3 kids, and their friends. They never, ever, ever, stop eating.

This might help you save a few bucks. Florida residents can take advantage of this great offer by registering for the Preschool Card on the Busch Gardens or SeaWorld websites. The registration period for Busch Gardens ends on February 26, 2023, and for SeaWorld, it ends on February 3, 2023. Once registered, simply visit Busch Gardens or SeaWorld by the end of February to activate the card. The card will be valid until December 31, 2023, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the parks with your little ones.

It's important to note that registration for the Preschool Card is only available online and not at the park's front gate. If you can't find the email with your Preschool Card, simply log into your Busch Gardens or SeaWorld account and check your order history.

11 Useful Things We Found At Hotbins In Tampa

This weekend we checked out Hotbins in Tampa, a new Amazon return bin store. Here's just some of the crazy and useful things we found. Just across the street from Busch Gardens is a new shopping experience for Tampa. Hotbins is an Amazon return bin store that has so much to offer. Not only will you find overstock, liquidated and amazon returns, but you'll also find goods from Walmart, Target, Khols and more. It's kind of a crazy experience, each day the store is almost always a madhouse for these crazy deals.

How does it work? The store opens Friday with a new shipment of goods, each day that week the price goes down in hope to sell out that shipment. The price breakdown goes like this:

Friday: $12
Saturday: $10
Sunday: $8
Monday: $6
Tuesday: $4
Wednesday: $2
Thursday: Closed for restocking to start again on Friday.

Everything is boxed and placed in large bins to comb through. Some boxes are labeled with the product/description, and some boxes are completely blank. The good news is that you don't have to guess what's in the box. Take it over to their unboxing area where an employee will be happy to show you what's inside before you buy!

We drove past the store on a Friday and saw a line wrapped around the building. Instead, we went back the next day on Saturday where everything was $10. It was kind of a mad house, but definitely not as crowded as new stock days. It takes some time to dig through everything, so make sure you don't have any time restraints when shopping. We found a bunch of useful home items, workout gear, clothes, wigs, pool floats, and a bunch of unmarked boxes left up to mystery. We ended up buying a rice cooker for only $10. After some research, we found that the rice cooker was selling for $30 on Amazon, so that's a pretty sweet deal.
